Third-hand smoke is a new word for the smoke that gets trapped in hair, skin, fabric(including clothing, curtains and car seats), carpet, furniture and toys. Each time someone smokes, smoke gets trapped in or on the fabric, furniture, walls and other objects around them. Third-hand smoke contains the same toxic chemicals as second-hand smoke. These chemicals stick around long after a smoker has put out a cigarette, cigar or pipe, and it builds up over time. The chemicals from the trapped smoke pollute the air and get into a person's lungs and body.

Key term(s)
  • thirdhand tobacco smoke
  • thirdhand smoke

CONT

La fumée tertiaire est un nouveau terme employé pour désigner la fumée qui reste emprisonnée dans les cheveux, la peau, les tissus (dont les vêtements, les rideaux et les sièges de voiture), les tapis, les meubles et les jouets. Chaque fois qu'une personne fume, la fumée reste emprisonnée dans ou sur les tissus, les meubles, les murs et autres objets autour d'elle. La fumée tertiaire contient les mêmes substances chimiques toxiques que la fumée secondaire. Ces produits chimiques restent longtemps après que le fumeur ait éteint sa cigarette, son cigare ou sa pipe et s'accumulent au fil du temps. Les substances chimiques de la fumée ainsi emprisonnée polluent l'air et s'infiltrent dans les poumons et le corps d'une personne.

The outside arm is one area that is occasionally skimped in finishing upholstered furniture. It is a visible area and needs to be neat looking, however, it receives no strain or wear and there is a tendency to just fasten the fabric so it looks neat without doing anything else. Some upholsterers just cover the opening in the frame with cardboard or burlap and apply the cover.

In applying the finish fabric there are many places where welt is used. The purpose of the welt is to give a finished look to seams and edges. There is no structural advantage in using welt; it is purely decorative. Most furniture has the welt made of the same fabric as the cover. However, in some cases the welt may be made of a contrasting color for a striking effect.
