The prevalence of maternal smoking remains surprisingly high, ranging from 10-50% of pregnant women across different countries and socioeconomic groups. This is associated with several adverse neurological outcomes including increased risk for Sudden Infant Dealth Syndrome, attention deficit disorder, and autism. Prenatal exposure to carbon monoxide (CO), a major toxic constituent of cigarette ...

This work examines a newly developed dynamic air sampling technique, known as HighSurface Area Solid Phase Micro Extraction (HSA-SPME), in sampling and analysis of chemical warfare agent surrogate and degradation compounds. The polymer coating of this device has 10 times the surface area of commercially available SPME fibers, and at high sample flow rates (4 L·min) provided increased extraction...
