Abstract

This study investigates the ²¹⁰Pb activity concentrations in tobacco and cigarettes available in Slovakia, utilizing two specific extraction methods including the Sr Resin sorbent used in extraction chromatography, and the AnaLig Sr01 sorbent, which operates based on molecular recognition principles. The findings revealed significant variations in ²¹⁰Pb activity concentrations, with concentrations ranging from 13.3 to 33.8 mBq/g in tobacco, and from 16.8 to 28.5 mBq/g in cigarettes. The average ²¹⁰Pb activity per cigarette was 14.4 mBq ± 1.7 mBq. Annual effective doses for smokers were calculated, with values for tobacco ranging from 27.9 to 126.7 µSv and for cigarettes from 25.5 to 115.7 µSv. The study highlights the importance of comparing these two methods to ensure an accurate assessment of ²¹⁰Pb exposure and evaluation of radiological risks associated with smoking in Slovakia.

斯洛伐克烟草和卷烟中210Pb活度的测定：放射性风险研究。

本研究调查了斯洛伐克烟草和卷烟中210Pb活性浓度，采用两种特定的提取方法，包括提取色谱中使用的Sr树脂吸附剂和基于分子识别原理的AnaLig Sr01吸附剂。研究结果显示，210Pb活性浓度存在显著差异，烟草中的浓度范围为13.3至33.8 mBq/g，卷烟中的浓度范围为16.8至28.5 mBq/g。平均每支卷烟的210Pb活度为14.4 mBq±1.7 mBq。计算了吸烟者的年有效剂量，烟草的值为27.9至126.7 µSv，香烟的值为25.5至115.7 µSv。该研究强调了比较这两种方法的重要性，以确保准确评估斯洛伐克的210Pb暴露和评估与吸烟有关的辐射风险。
