Abstract

Objective: To describe the role of the tobacco industry in the development of ventilation standards for indoor air quality by influencing the American Society of Heating, Refrigeration, and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE).

Methods: Review of tobacco industry documents available on the internet between January 2001 and March 2002. Search terms included "ASHRAE", "ventilation", "minutes", "memo", and the names of key players and organisations as identified in the initial searches. Analysis of ASHRAE and other relevant documents publicly available and the personal files of a Standard 62 committee member; interviews of a selected number of ASHRAE players; observation of an ASHRAE meeting.

Results: The tobacco industry has been involved in the development of ventilation standards for over 20 years. It has successfully influenced the standard and continues to attempt to change the standard from a smoke-free framework into an "accommodation" framework. The industry acts directly and through consultants and allies. The major health groups have been largely absent and the health interests have been poorly represented in standard development. While concentrated in the USA, ASHRAE standards are adopted worldwide.

Conclusion: The tobacco industry determined that allowing smoking in ventilation standards for indoor air quality was a high priority and dedicated significant human and financial resources to ensure that its interests were represented. The health groups, until recently, have largely ignored the policy implications for tobacco control of standard development. This situation is changing, but unless health groups maintain high visibility within ASHRAE, the tobacco industry may succeed in creating a standard that ignores the dangers of secondhand smoke.

Hi Tutorial: Maxim Integrated Products provides overview of industrial motor control systems

‘Overview of industrial motor control systems’

This overview of industrial motor controls from Maxim Integrated Products highlights the differences and subsystems for DC motor, brushless DC and AC induction motors. An in-depth analysis of critical subsystems focuses on monitoring and measuring current; sensing temperature; sensing motor speed, position and movement; monitoring and controlling multi-channel currents and voltages; and high-accuracy motor control with encoder data interfaces.

‘Using gearheads’

This technical guide from Oriental Motor focuses on the company’s gearheads, which are specially designed for easy and direct attachment to most of Oriental Motors’ AC motors with a pinion shaft. With the reduction of the motor speed through the gearhead, an increase in torque is achieved. A number of speed-reduction ratios are available for many applications.
