Analysis of metals leached from smoked cigarette litter
BACKGROUND Littered cigarette butts represent potential point sources for environmental contamination. In areas with substantial amounts of cigarette litter, environmental hazards may arise as chemical components are leached from the filters and smoked tobacco. OBJECTIVE The three main aims of this study were: (1) to quantify the amount of Al, Ba, Cd, Cr, Cu, Fe, Pb, Mn, Ni, Sr, Ti and Zn lea...
متن کاملMortality and type of cigarette smoked.
Twenty-five years ago, cigarette smokers in the United Kingdom smoked plain cigarettes with an average tar yield of probably about 35 mg. Now smokers predominantly smoke filter cigarettes and average tar yields have been reduced by half. Epidemiological evidence comparing mortality in smokers of differing types of cigarettes is reviewed. Compared with smokers of higher tar plain cigarettes, smo...
متن کاملBiodegradability of fractions of dissolved organic carbon leached from decomposing leaf litter.
Dissolved organic matter leached from decomposing organic matter is important in the leaching of nutrients from the root zone of ecosystems, eluviation of metals, and transport of hydrophobic pollutants. The objective of this study was to compare microbial mineralization rates in intact soil cores of various fractions of water-soluble dissolved organic matter. Uniformly 14C-labeled Populus frem...
متن کاملMetals contained and leached from rubber granulates used in synthetic turf areas.
The aim of this study was to quantify metals contained in and leached from different types of rubber granulates used in synthetic turf areas. To investigate the total content of metals, ca 0.5 g of material was added with HNO(3), HF and HClO(4) and microwave digested with power increasing from 250 W to 600 W. Leachates were prepared by extraction of about 5.0 g of material at room temperature f...
متن کاملCigarette Litter: Smokers’ Attitudes and Behaviors
Cigarette butts are consistently the most collected items in litter clean-up efforts, which are a costly burden to local economies. In addition, tobacco waste may be detrimental to our natural environment. The tobacco industry has conducted or funded numerous studies on smokers' littering knowledge and behavior, however, non-industry sponsored research is rare. We sought to examine whether demo...
