Regulations for prevention of passive smoking in the working place are mandatory. In February 1991, the members of the health department of Frankfurt were asked by questionnaire about passive smoking at their working site, their complaints about health problems because of passive smoking and their proposals for regulations for the protection of non-smokers against passive smoke. This investigation was very well accepted, 77% returned their questionnaire. About 75% felt troubled by passive smoking, depending on their own smoking behaviour (100% of the ex-smokers and 53% of the smokers, who did not want to quit smoking). Non-smokers as well as smokers proposed total smoking prohibition for the canteen and the toilets. The conformity in the smoker's and the nonsmoker's proposals for the protection of non-smokers was surprising.

In 1984 the \"Kommission zur Prüfung von Rückständen in Lebensmitteln\" of the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft published so-called tolerable concentrations for some pesticides and PCBs in human milk.
