F. Aygun et al., LIQUID-CHROMATOGRAPHIC METHOD FOR THE DETERMINATION OF BENZO[A]PYRENEIN FILTER TAR OF TURKISH CIGARETTES, Journal of agricultural and food chemistry, 44(6), 1996, pp. 1488-1490
An extraction method for benzo[a]pyrene determination in filter tar ha
s been tried. Various Turkish cigarette filter tars were extracted usi
ng different solvents. The benzo[a]pyrene identification and quantific
ation were carried out by means of high-pressure liquid chromatography
. By the proposed method a recovery of 50% has been reached. Analysis
of various Turkish cigarette filter tars showed that an average 78 ng/
cigarette of benzo[a]pyrene is present.
