Environmental tobacco smoke uptake by clothing fabrics.
The uptake of cigarette smoke by a variety of clothing fabrics was determined. The tested fabrics included wool, linen, cotton, silk, rayon, acetate and polyester. While a variety of factors effect such absorption, polyester fabrics were found to significantly take up less smoke than all the other tested cloths. A simple and rapid technique is described for measuring such absorption.
