Abstract
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.
