Determination of Carbon Monoxide in Cigarette Smoke Using an Electrochemical Transducer

Determination of Carbon Monoxide in Cigarette Smoke Using an Electrochemical Transducer

A system for the in-line measurement of puff-by-puff levels of carbon monoxide on a Filtrona 300 smoking machine during routine smoking of cigarette for tar and nicotine yields has been developed. The technique involves the introduction of a transducer into the suction line behind the Cambridge filt...
