Description
Summary:Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), phenols and aromatic amines can be analyzed in particulate phase mainstream cigarette smoke using simultaneous distillation and extraction (SDE) as a unique sample clean-up step. All analytes are determined from the same smoke sample using GC–MS. The smoke from 20 cigarettes is collected on a Cambridge smoke pad where a mixture of internal standards is added. The Cambridge smoke pad is extracted in a SDE apparatus using water–CH 2Cl 2. The SDE extract is analyzed directly for PAHs, for phenols after silylation, and for amines after derivatization with heptafluorobutyric anhydride. Excellent results in agreement with data reported in the literature are obtained by this procedure.
