چکیده
In order to protect the human health from harmful effects of smoking, we consider the magnitude and range in levels of various groups of toxic organic compounds: polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), phenols and chloroorganic pesticides in mainstream cigarette smoke, obtained from Yugoslav blend cigarette. The cigarette smoke condensate was collected with electrostatic condensation on Cambridge filter pad and extracted it with organic solvent, and then subjected to gas chromatographic (GC) analysis.

A rapid method for the chromatographic analysis of volatile organic compounds in exhaled breath of tobacco cigarette and electronic cigarette smokers.
A method for the rapid analysis of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in smoke from tobacco and electronic cigarettes and in exhaled breath of users of these smoking systems has been developed. Both disposable and rechargeable e-cigarettes were considered. Smoke or breath were collected in Bio-VOCs. VOCs were then desorbed in Tenax cartridges which were subsequently analyzed by thermal desorptio...
متن کاملNicotine, aerosol particles, carbonyls and volatile organic compounds in tobacco- and menthol-flavored e-cigarettes
BACKGROUND We aimed to assess the content of electronic cigarette (EC) emissions for five groups of potentially toxic compounds that are known to be present in tobacco smoke: nicotine, particles, carbonyls, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and trace elements by flavor and puffing time. METHODS We used ECs containing a common nicotine strength (1.8%) and the most popular flavors, tobacco and...
متن کاملNew insights into the formation of volatile compounds in mainstream cigarette smoke
A sampling system has been set up to monitor a group of volatile smoke analytes (nitric oxide, acetaldehyde, acetone, benzene, toluene, 1,3 butadiene, isoprene and carbon dioxide) from mainstream cigarette smoke on a puff-resolved basis. The system was able to record gas evolution profiles during puffing and interpuff periods without interruption (e.g. taking clearing puffs). Gas phase smoke an...
متن کاملPhilip Morris toxicological experiments with fresh sidestream smoke: more toxic than mainstream smoke.
BACKGROUND Exposure to secondhand smoke causes lung cancer; however, there are little data in the open literature on the in vivo toxicology of fresh sidestream cigarette smoke to guide the debate about smoke-free workplaces and public places. OBJECTIVE To investigate the unpublished in vivo research on sidestream cigarette smoke done by Philip Morris Tobacco Company during the 1980s at its In...
متن کاملLevels of selected carcinogens and toxicants in vapour from electronic cigarettes.
SIGNIFICANCE Electronic cigarettes, also known as e-cigarettes, are devices designed to imitate regular cigarettes and deliver nicotine via inhalation without combusting tobacco. They are purported to deliver nicotine without other toxicants and to be a safer alternative to regular cigarettes. However, little toxicity testing has been performed to evaluate the chemical nature of vapour generate...
