Promoting Smoke-Free Housing:  SDSU study

We need your participation!

Dr. Neil Klepeis at San Diego State University (SDSU) is leading a Citizen Science project to support California communities in measuring Multi-Unit Housing (MUH) secondhand smoke and  exploring ways to increase awareness and promote smoke-free MUH policies.

Funding provided in part from: Tobacco Releted Disease Research Program (TRDRP)

Are you interested in doing a Citizen Science study of MUH exposure in your building? 

Please click below to fill out an interest form.

Here is an example of data collected using a personal exposure monitor in an apartment building:

We are  collaborating with individuals who are affected or concerned about tobacco, cannabis, or vaping use in apartments or condos.  Study participants will be supported as follows:

• We will provide you with a Personal Exposure Toolkit (PET) for air monitoring to measure exposure

• We will provide training and assistance in using the PET

• We will guide you in documenting secondhand smoke exposure inside and outside the building

• We will help you create summaries and personal narratives about exposure that can be shared with others in your community, at city hall, or with the media.
