Gas Chromatographic Determination of Isoprene, Acetaldehyde and Acrolein from the Gaseous Phase of Cigarette Smoke - Gaschromatographische Bestimmung von lsopren, Acetaldehyd und Acrolein aus der Gasphase von Cigarettenrauch

By means of a special sampling technique with a cooled preliminary column parts of each puff from a cigarette are collected. With the aid of subsequent gas chromatographic analysis a quantitative determination of acrolein, acetaldehyde and isoprene from the gaseous phase is effected. The content of these three substances in some trial cigarettes is discussed.
