Chemical aspects of the dangers of cigarette smoke
2002
Galbacs, Z.M. | Galbacs, G.
CO, NOx and metal content of cigarettes and their smoke were measured. CO concentration in the smoke was found to vary in the 1656-7920 ppm range. The absolute amount of mercury released during the "consumption" of a single cigaratte was found to be 32-95 ng whereas NO2 release ranged from 1.6 to 140 microg. It was also established that conventional cigarette filters, usually made of cellulose acetate, are ineffective in removing some of the harmful constituents of smoke like carbon monoxide and nitric oxides. Similarly, these devices retain only 0-5.6% of Hg.
