Abstract. In order to protect the human health from harmful effects of smoking, we consider the magnitude and range in levels of various groups of toxic organic compounds: polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), phenols and chloroorganic pesticides in mainstream cigarette smoke, obtained from Yugoslav blend cigarette. The cigarette smoke condensate was collected with electrostatic condensation on Cambridge filter pad and extracted it with organic solvent, and then subjected to gas chromatographic (GC) analysis.
Key words: Cigarette smoke; PAHs, PCBs, phenols, pesticides; GC analysis

GASNO HROMATOGRAFSKA ANALIZA
NEKIH TOKSIČNIH ORGANSKIH JEDINJENJA
U GLAVNOJ STRUJI CIGARETNOG DIMA
U cilju zaštite čovekovog zdravlja od štetnih efekata pušenja, ispitivane su koncentracije različitih toksičnih organskih jedinjenja: policikličnih organskih jedinjenja (PAH), polihlorovanih bifenila (PCB), fenola i organohlornih pesticida, u glavnoj struji cigaretnog dima dobijenog od jugoslovenske blend cigarete. Kondenzat cigaretnog dima je sakupljen elektrostatičkom kondenzacijom na Cambridge filteru i ekstrahovan organskim rastvaračima, a zatim podvrgnut gasnohromatografskoj (GC) analizi.
Ključne reči: cigaretni dim; PAH, PCB, fenoli, pesticidi, GC analiza
