AB  - Secondhand smoke (SHS) is a common indoor pollutant in multiunit housing (MUH). 
      It is also the precursor of thirdhand smoke (THS), the toxic mixture of tobacco 
      smoke residue that accumulates in indoor environments where tobacco has been 
      used. This study examined the levels, distribution, and factors associated with 
      THS pollution in low-income MUH. Interviews were conducted 2016-2018 in a 
      cross-sectional study of N = 220 MUH homes in San Diego, California. Two surface 
      wipe samples were collected per home and analyzed for nicotine, a THS marker, 
      using liquid chromatography-triple quadrupole mass spectrometry. Nicotine was 
      detected in all homes of nonsmokers with indoor smoking bans (Geo 
      Mean = 1.67 microg/m(2); 95% CI = [1.23;2.30]) and smokers regardless of an indoor 
      ban (Geo Mean = 4.80 microg/m(2); 95% CI = [1.89;12.19]). Approximately 10% of 
      nonsmokers' homes with smoking bans showed nicotine levels higher than the 
      average level in homes of smokers without smoking bans from previous studies 
      (>/=30 microg/m(2)). Housing for seniors, smoking bans on balconies, indoor tobacco 
      use, difficult to reach surfaces, and self-reported African-American 
      race/ethnicity were independently associated with higher THS levels. Individual 
      cases demonstrated that high levels of surface nicotine may persist in nonsmoker 
      homes for years after tobacco use even in the presence of indoor smoking bans. To 
      achieve MUH free of tobacco smoke pollutants, attention must be given to 
      identifying and remediating highly polluted units and to implementing smoking 
      policies that prevent new accumulation of THS. As THS is a form of toxic tobacco 
      product waste, responsibility for preventing and mitigating harmful impacts 
      should include manufacturers, suppliers, and retailers.
