AB  - OBJECTIVE: To investigate thirdhand smoke (THS) pollution in certain places of 
      Nanjing, as well as to analyze its distribution characteristics. METHODS: From 
      March to May, 2014, we selected 3 types of places (residencies, public places and 
      transportation vehicles) that were close to people's living in 
      Jianye,Yuhua,Jiangning,Xuanwu,Gulou and Pukou districts of Nanjing city.For each 
      of the above 3 types of places, 2-3 smoking and non-smoking (smoking ban) 
      locations were investigated, totally 51 locations, 9-10 samples were collected 
      each location, totally 477 samples. The surface wipe sampling method in 
      conjunction with liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) was 
      utilized to quantify the levels of nicotine that served as the tracer of THS 
      pollution.One-way ANOVA and t-tests were employed to compare the levels of 
      nicotine collected at different places and locations. RESULTS: Totally 477 
      samples were collected in this study, of which 27.0% was from residencies 
      (129/477), 61.0% (291/477) from public places and 11.9% (57/477) from 
      transportations. The levels of indoor surface nicotine in smoking residences, 
      public places and transportations were (214 +/- 55),(1 408 +/- 177) and (1 511 +/- 785) 
      microg/m(2), respectively, which were all higher than those in the corresponding 
      non-smoking places ((23 +/- 9),(62 +/- 11), and (46 +/- 15) microg/m(2); t values were 
      13.79, 13.15, 3.45, respectively. P values were <0.001, <0.001 and 0.006, 
      respectively).In the smoking places, the levels of surface nicotine on walls, 
      desks, sofas, cabinets, door backsides and air conditioning openings were (171 +/- 
      62),(232 +/- 38),(373 +/- 151),(903 +/- 239), (978 +/- 212), (1 721 +/- 517) microg/m(2) (F = 
      7.06, P = 0.009).In the smoking condition, the levels of surface nicotine 
      collected from public places were higher (F = 9.25, P = 0.024), while under 
      non-smoking (smoking ban) conditions, the levels of surface nicotine collected 
      from residences were lower (F = 7.88, P < 0.001). CONCLUSION: THS pollution was 
      widespread in public places, residences and transportations in Nanjing city, 
      which was more serious in the smoking environments than non-smoking (smoking ban) 
      environments; the contamination was less serious in non-smoking (smoking ban) 
      private residences; in the smoking condition, the levels of surface nicotine were 
      relatively high at locations close to air conditioning openings, door backsides 
      and cabinets.
