Abstract
The ash remaining from machine smoking of 12 different American cigarette brands has been examined by instrumental neutron activation analysis. The mean concentrations are (element concentration in μg g−1): Al 6070; Ba 375; Br 420; Ca 161 500; Ce 11·1; Cl 23 000; Co 3·58; Cr 21·2; Cs 0·653; Eu 0·154; Fe 3040; Hf 1·33; K 151 000; La 10·3; Mg 12 800; Mn 1250; Na 3460; Ni 24·7; Rb 82·1; Sb 0·741; Sc 0·894; Se 0·361; Sr 373; Th 1·06; Ti 1910; V 11·1; and Zn 221. Arsenic was not detected in all the samples examined. The chemical composition of cigarette wrapping paper has been found to affect the elemental concentration in the ash examined. The possible source of the elements of interest in cigarette ash is discussed and the results are compared with the literature values.
