烟草在线据《圣地亚哥时报》报道编译　　无烟智利组织开展的一项研究显示，饭店里的污染物含量非常高。

　　结果证明，你不做的事情可能还是会伤害你，尤其是在智利各地的酒吧和饭店里。

　　1月9日发布的一项研究报告说，在允许吸烟的饭店和酒吧里，污染物含量是世界卫生组织标准的37倍。

　　无烟智利组织的发言人索尼娅说：“这些结果显示，在这些场所工作的人员接触到的污染物含量非常高。”

　　无烟智利组织对圣地亚哥周围，尤其是对普罗威登西亚、贝拉维斯特和圣地亚哥中心地区的30家酒吧、饭店和咖啡馆的空气质量进行了调查。

　　接受调查的场所有允许吸烟的，也有不允许吸烟的，差别很能说明问题。

　　不实施禁止吸烟限制措施的饭店里发现的污染物的含量为每立方米371毫克。在设置有吸烟区和非吸烟区的饭店里，污染物的含量平均为每立方米157毫克。

　　在彻底禁止吸烟的饭店里，污染物的含量为每立方米38毫克，比允许吸烟的饭店里的污染物含量低近10倍。

　　报告显示，在环境最好的情况下，圣地亚哥的清洁空气也很罕见，在彻底无烟的地区，污染物的含量为每立方米18.5毫克，这个水平仍然高于世界卫生组织的每立方米10毫克的年平均质量标准。

　　这项研究的发布恰如其时，因为卫生委员会在1月10日的会议上，将讨论一项颁行彻底禁止有两个或两个以上的人工作的所有封闭场所内吸烟的法案。

　　在1月5日，布宜诺斯艾利斯禁止在封闭的公共场所内吸烟，无烟智利组织则有望这项计划将在智利取得进展。

　　2011年6月的一项研究发现，73%的智利人赞成反吸烟法案。对这项法案的支持是显而易见的，但如何在国会上提出这项法案则仍需拭目以待。

Chilean restaurants' smoke pollution 37 times endorsed level

　　A study done by Tobacco Free Chile reveals high level of contamination in restaurants.

　　It turns out that what you don't do might still hurt you, especially in bars and restaurants around Chile.

　　A study released Monday reported that in restaurants and bars that permit smoking, the contamination level is 37 times higher than the World Health Organization standard.

　　"These results demonstrate the high levels of contamination to which workers are exposed on these premises," said spokesperson for Tobacco Free Chile Sonia Covarrubias.

　　Tobacco Free Chile surveyed the air quality at 30 bars, restaurants and cafes around Santiago, specifically in the Providencia, Bellavista and Santiago Central neighborhoods.

　　The establishments surveyed were both smoking and non-smoking, and the differences were quite telling.

　　The amounts of contaminants found in restaurants with no smoking restrictions were 371 ug/m3 (micrograms per cubic meter). In restaurants with both smoking and non-smoking areas, contaminants averaged 157 ug/m3.

　　The level was 38 ug/m3 in restaurants that prohibit smoking altogether, close to 10 times less than in bars where smoking is allowed.

　　The reports shows that clean air in Santiago is a rare commodity under the best of circumstances; in areas that were completely smoke-free, the level of contaminants was 18.5 ug/m3, a level still above the WHO's　average annual air quality standard of 10 ug/m3.

　　The study was released at an opportune moment, with the Health Commission meeting Tuesday to discuss a bill that would enact a total ban on smoking in all enclosed areas where two or more people work.

　　Last Thursday, Buenos Aires banned smoking in enclosed public areas, and Tobacco Free Chile is hopeful that the initiative will gain ground in Chile.

　　A study in June 2011 found that 73 percent of Chileans are in favor of the anti-smoking bill. The support for the bill is evident, but it remains to be seen how it will hold up in Congress.
