Indoor and Built Environment

Criticism

A 2005 study in The Lancet found that between 1992 and 2002 Indoor and Built Environment was influenced by the tobacco industry. It was found that up to 61% of articles on indoor smoke published by the journal reached industry-positive conclusions, with up to 90% of these articles having at least one author with a history of association with the industry. [2]

Originally, the journal was funded by the International Society of the Built Environment (ISBE) and was published by Karger Publishers from 1992–2002. ISBE was closed in 2002 and re-launched in 2009 as a limited company by guarantee as a "Community Interest Company" - a not for profit company. The journal, Indoor Environment, was renamed Indoor and Built Environment in 1996 by John Hoskins, who was editor-in-chief of the journal from 1994 to March 2009.

Passive smoking is the inhalation of tobacco smoke, called secondhand smoke (SHS), or environmental tobacco smoke (ETS), by persons other than the intended "active" smoker. It occurs when tobacco smoke enters an environment, causing its inhalation by people within that environment. Exposure to secondhand tobacco smoke causes disease, disability, and death. The health risks of secondhand smoke are a matter of scientific consensus. These risks have been a major motivation for smoke-free laws in workplaces and indoor public places, including restaurants, bars and night clubs, as well as some open public spaces.
