Thirdhand smoke exposure linked to fabric type, heat, and humidity – Medical Xpress

A study led by scientists at the University of California, Riverside, has found chemicals in thirdhand smoke, or THS, get extracted more readily from household fabrics in a humid environment than in a dry one.
“This could have implications for human exposure to THS chemicals in areas where there is high humidity,” said Prue Talbot, a professor of cell biology at UCR, who led the study published in the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health. “Our work shows that people…
