Tobacco Free Air

Valid air monitoring studies have proven to have a profound effect on educating the public and policy makers on the dangers of secondhand smoke exposure and informing the debate around smoke-free policy initiatives.
Recent technological advances have provided relatively inexpensive portable instruments, such as the TSI Sidepak AM510 Aerosol Monitor, that can measure and record in real-time the levels of tobacco smoke pollutants in the air.
This online course will help researchers who have been provided a SidePak Aerosol Monitor through the Roswell Park Cancer Institute to conduct air monitoring research in their country.

WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control

It was adopted by the World Health Assembly on 21 May 2003 and entered into force on 27 February 2005. It has since become one of the most rapidly and widely embraced treaties in United Nations history.

The Convention represents a milestone for the promotion of public health and provides new legal dimensions for international health cooperation.
