煙草在線據《圣地亞哥時報》報道編譯　　無煙智利組織開展的一項研究顯示，飯店里的污染物含量非常高。

　　結果證明，你不做的事情可能還是會傷害你，尤其是在智利各地的酒吧和飯店里。

　　1月9日發布的一項研究報告說，在允許吸煙的飯店和酒吧里，污染物含量是世界衛生組織標準的37倍。

　　無煙智利組織的發言人索尼婭說：“這些結果顯示，在這些場所工作的人員接觸到的污染物含量非常高。”

　　無煙智利組織對圣地亞哥周圍，尤其是對普羅威登西亞、貝拉維斯特和圣地亞哥中心地區的30家酒吧、飯店和咖啡館的空氣質量進行了調查。

　　接受調查的場所有允許吸煙的，也有不允許吸煙的，差別很能說明問題。

　　不實施禁止吸煙限制措施的飯店里發現的污染物的含量為每立方米371毫克。在設置有吸煙區和非吸煙區的飯店里，污染物的含量平均為每立方米157毫克。

　　在徹底禁止吸煙的飯店里，污染物的含量為每立方米38毫克，比允許吸煙的飯店里的污染物含量低近10倍。

　　報告顯示，在環境最好的情況下，圣地亞哥的清潔空氣也很罕見，在徹底無煙的地區，污染物的含量為每立方米18.5毫克，這個水平仍然高于世界衛生組織的每立方米10毫克的年平均質量標準。

　　這項研究的發布恰如其時，因為衛生委員會在1月10日的會議上，將討論一項頒行徹底禁止有兩個或兩個以上的人工作的所有封閉場所內吸煙的法案。

　　在1月5日，布宜諾斯艾利斯禁止在封閉的公共場所內吸煙，無煙智利組織則有望這項計劃將在智利取得進展。

　　2011年6月的一項研究發現，73%的智利人贊成反吸煙法案。對這項法案的支持是顯而易見的，但如何在國會上提出這項法案則仍需拭目以待。

Chilean restaurants' smoke pollution 37 times endorsed level

　　A study done by Tobacco Free Chile reveals high level of contamination in restaurants.

　　It turns out that what you don't do might still hurt you, especially in bars and restaurants around Chile.

　　A study released Monday reported that in restaurants and bars that permit smoking, the contamination level is 37 times higher than the World Health Organization standard.

　　"These results demonstrate the high levels of contamination to which workers are exposed on these premises," said spokesperson for Tobacco Free Chile Sonia Covarrubias.

　　Tobacco Free Chile surveyed the air quality at 30 bars, restaurants and cafes around Santiago, specifically in the Providencia, Bellavista and Santiago Central neighborhoods.

　　The establishments surveyed were both smoking and non-smoking, and the differences were quite telling.

　　The amounts of contaminants found in restaurants with no smoking restrictions were 371 ug/m3 (micrograms per cubic meter). In restaurants with both smoking and non-smoking areas, contaminants averaged 157 ug/m3.

　　The level was 38 ug/m3 in restaurants that prohibit smoking altogether, close to 10 times less than in bars where smoking is allowed.

　　The reports shows that clean air in Santiago is a rare commodity under the best of circumstances; in areas that were completely smoke-free, the level of contaminants was 18.5 ug/m3, a level still above the WHO's　average annual air quality standard of 10 ug/m3.

　　The study was released at an opportune moment, with the Health Commission meeting Tuesday to discuss a bill that would enact a total ban on smoking in all enclosed areas where two or more people work.

　　Last Thursday, Buenos Aires banned smoking in enclosed public areas, and Tobacco Free Chile is hopeful that the initiative will gain ground in Chile.

　　A study in June 2011 found that 73 percent of Chileans are in favor of the anti-smoking bill. The support for the bill is evident, but it remains to be seen how it will hold up in Congress.
