The Grand Forks smoking cigarettes ban turned one year old Monday and the Tobacco Free Coalition has released results of an indoor air quality study.
The Coalition says that air samples were taken in bars that allowed smoking cigarettes before the ban. Results showed that fine particle air pollution was in the category of "unhealthy" and workers were exposed to air pollution levels two times higher than the level considered safe by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
After the ban, testing found indoor air quality had a decline of 92% in particle pollution, enough to reach the category of a "good" level.
"We thought most people in Grand Forks, and most North Dakotans in general did not want to inflict injury on other people. And that is what secondhand smoke cigarettes is, the infliction of injuries on others," Dr. Eric Johnson with the Tobacco Free ND organization said.
The testing was completed by the Roswell Park Cancer Institute.
According to the U.S. Surgeon General's 2010 report, cigarettes store smoke cigarettes has more than 7,000 chemicals and compounds, including hundreds that are toxic and at least 69 that cause cancer.
