At AccuCheck, we specialize in Tobacco Smoke Testing, which involves analyzing air samples for the presence of secondhand smoke or environmental tobacco smoke. This mixture includes the smoke generated by the burning end of tobacco products as well as the smoke exhaled by smokers. Additionally, our testing also examines for the presence of third-hand smoke, which is the smoke residue that remains after smoking has ceased.

Our analysis focuses on certain chemical compounds that act as surrogates for the numerous compounds found in tobacco smoke. These compounds, known as TS marker compounds, can detect the presence of tobacco smoke when detected in the submitted air sample.

Several factors can affect how tobacco smoke moves through the air and how long it remains detectable including:

• Amount, duration, and location of smoking
• How long the smoking has been occurring (e.g., weeks, months, years)
• The building’s construction and air exchange rates
• The level of porous materials in the area (e.g., carpet, draperies, furniture, etc.)
• The temperature and humidity levels

To ensure the most accurate results, our sample collection equipment is positioned strategically in the smoking area or adjacent space.
