Air Quality Monitoring Toolkit: Assessing Second-Hand Smoke in Hospitality Venues

The Union and the University of Aberdeen

A toolkit for completing smoke-free compliance assessments of cafes, bars, restaurants and other hospitality venues using low-cost equipment. The method can be used anywhere in the world; it was tested in low and middle income countries where outdoor air pollution levels are high. The data these assessments generate can provide the robust evidence needed to advocate for stronger smoke-free laws and rigorous enforcement.

The toolkit includes advocacy examples and strategies, links to software for simple downloading of data and templates for gathering observational evidence.
