Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), phenols and aromatic amines can be
analyzed in particulate phase mainstream cigarette smoke using simultaneou
s distillation and extraction (SDE) as a unique sample clean-up step. All a
nalytes are determined from the same smoke sample using GC-MS. The smoke fr
om 20 cigarettes is collected on a Cambridge smoke pad where a mixture of i
nternal standards is added. The Cambridge smoke pad is extracted in a SDE a
pparatus using water-CH2Cl2. The SDE extract is analyzed directly for PAHs,
for phenols after silylation, and for amines after derivatization with hep
tafluorobutyric anhydride. Excellent results in agreement with data reporte
d in the literature are obtained by this procedure. (C) 2000 Elsevier Scien
