Bottom line:

Details: NIOSH Health Hazard Evaluation Report: HETA #2001-0066-3019, Morton Plant Hospital Dunedin, Florida
A report of investigation performed at an individual hospital. It documents the smoke generated by electrosurgical devices and references studies on effects of exposure to components of surgical smoke (pp. 4-8).

PubMed
A collection of AORN guidelines, reviews and one cohort study (Gates 2007) on smoke in the operating room. Use the link below to access the results of the search.
