      formation in the indoor environment.

AB  - Tobacco smoking is well-known as a significant source of primary indoor air 
      pollutants. However, only recently has thirdhand smoke (THS) been recognized as a 
      contributor to indoor pollution due to the role of indoor surfaces. Here, the 
      effects of relative humidity (<10% RH and  approximately  45% RH) and substrate (cellulose, 
      cotton, and paper) on secondary organic aerosol (SOA) formation from 
      nicotine-ozone-NO(x) reactions are discussed. SOA formation from the sorbed 
      nicotine-ozone reaction ([O(3)] = 55 ppb) varied in size distribution and number, 
      depending on RH and substrate type, indicating the role of substrate and water 
      interactions in SOA formation. This led to SOA yields from cellulose sorbed 
      nicotine-ozone reaction of  approximately  1 and 2% for wet and dry conditions, respectively. 
      SOA formation from nicotine-NO(x) reactions was not distinguishable from 
      background levels. Simultaneously, cellulose sorbed nicotine-ozone reaction 
      kinetics ([O(3)] = 55 ppb) were obtained and revealed pseudofirst-order surface 
      rate constants of k(1) = (1 +/- 0. 5) x 10(-3) and k(1) < 10(-4) min(-1) under <10% 
      and  approximately  45% RH, respectively. Given the toxicity of some of the identified products 
      and that small particles may contribute to adverse health effects, the present 
      study indicates that exposure to THS ozonation products may pose additional 
      health risks.
