JAMES L. REPACE, MSC. BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH
In 1977, James Repace, MSc., performed controlled experiments to develop a form of the mass balance model that enabled relating fine particulate concentrations from cigarette smoking to the ratio of smoker density to building air exchange rates. He and a Naval Research Laboratory colleague conducted a field study of 56 smoking and nonsmoking microenvironments, indoors and outdoors, comparing real-time PM3.5 in buildings where smoking occurred to smoke-free spaces where there was none. The smoking buildings included restaurants, bars, bowling alleys, bingo games, weddings and waiting rooms, lodge halls and homes. The nonsmoking areas included libraries, churches, and homes, as well as in cars on Washington, DC commuter highways during rush hour. Fine particulate concentrations averaged six times higher in buildings where smoking was permitted than in nonsmoking buildings or outdoors. Repace and others used this new science to successfully lobby for non-smoking sections in restaurants in tobacco-growing Prince Georges County, Maryland in 1978, a first in the Washington, DC metropolitan area. He and Lowrey then wrote up their research and submitted it to the journal Science, where it was published in April of 1980, the first study of its kind. Repace and Lowrey (1980) had a major impact on the scientific community.
In 1979, Repace joined the US EPA in the Office of Policy Analysis, Office of Air, Noise, and Radiation on the policy staff of the Assistant Administrator. He successfully argued that indoor air pollution should be part and parcel of EPA’s concerns, and was instrumental in forming an ad-hoc interagency work group, co-chaired by EPA and DOE that soon incorporated 40 federal agencies. Congress soon formalized this, giving EPA explicit authority and funding to perform research and engage in public information dissemination on the mitigation of indoor air pollution under SARA Title IV. Repace became a spokesman on indoor air issues for the EPA, and helped initiate an EPA-funded National Academy of Sciences study on Indoor Air Pollution in 1981. In 1986, Repace helped form EPA’s indoor air staff, which eventually became incorporated as the Indoor Air Division, and working with ORD colleagues, helped start EPA’s indoor air research program.
In 1985, Repace and Lowrey published the first risk assessment of passive smoking and lung cancer, estimating 5000 U.S. lung cancer deaths annually, and developed an exposure-response relationship demonstrating that ventilation could not control secondhand smoke exposures to within an acceptable level of risk. This research was published in the journal Environment International. It had a major public impact around the world, and it became the subject of numerous radio, television, and newspaper interviews and commentaries. It also sparked EPA management to fund a 1986 NAS study on Environmental Tobacco Smoke, and by obtaining co-funding from the US Department of Health, inspired the 1986 Surgeon Generals’ Report on Involuntary Smoking. Both the NAS and Surgeon General’s Reports concluded that secondhand smoke caused lung cancer.
In 1986, Repace instigated the Office of Air and Radiation to fund EPA’s Office of Research and Development (ORD) to conduct a formal ORD risk assessment of environmental tobacco smoke and lung cancer, and helped gain the approval of EPA’s senior management. In 1987, the tobacco industry, alarmed by Repace’s influence on indoor air policy, attempted to have him fired on spurious “conflict of interest” grounds. This was unsuccessful. In 1993, EPA’s risk assessment estimated that 3000 deaths per year (range 2500 to 7500) were caused by passive smoking. This in turn led to a massive increase in smoking restrictions in North American workplaces and public places. U.S. municipal smoke-free ordinances increased exponentially from 2 in 1993 to 487 in 2012. Repace retired from EPA in 1998, and has continued to publish many scientific papers of influence, and, as a consultant, to aid governments in North and South America, Europe, Asia, and the Pacific Rim in going smoke-free. In 2004, he published a peer-reviewed monitoring study in JOEM comparing particle levels before and after a statewide smoking ban in six bars, a casino, and a pool hall in Delaware. It showed that 90 to 95% of particulate levels were caused by secondhand smoke, and generated 650 million “media impressions” around the world, helping to persuade several countries to enact smoke-free workplace laws. Repace is the author of Enemy No.! - Waging The War on Secondhand Smoke, available on Amazon Books at: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07NLFBLGF.

POLICY OUTREACH From 1980 to 2014, James Repace gave 48 scientific conference presentations, presented 58 invited talks before medical and scientific groups, gave 121 television, radio, newspaper and magazine interviews, and presented 155 pieces of testimony at the international, federal, state, and local level that contributed to policies for reducing exposure secondhand smoke in the US and abroad. These presentations included four invited appearances before Congressional committees to testify on secondhand smoke risks and control, including testimony before the House Aviation Subcommittee in 1989 that helped increase the federal smoking ban on aircraft from flights less than two hours to flights less than six hours. In addition, he testified before the legislatures of Australia, New Zealand, Hong Kong, Canada, Ireland, The United Kingdom, and many US States and Canadian Provinces. Among the TV appearances on the lung cancer risks to the US nonsmoking population were CBS Evening News, ABC’s Good Morning America, 60 Minutes, NOVA, and CNN. This outreach helped change public policy that reduced exposure to secondhand smoke, and much of it was vigorously opposed by the tobacco industry, which made a major sustained effort to attempt to discredit his work.*
