Detection of carcinogenic glutamic acid pyrolysis products in cigarette smoke condensate

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

Carcinogenic glutamic add pyrolysis products were measured in condensate of cigarette mainstream smoke by HPLC. These carcinogens were found to be present in all brands of filter-tipped cigarette analyzed. The mean levels of 2-amino-6-methyldipyrido[1,2-a:3',2 -d]imidazole and 2-aminodipyridol[l,2-a:3',2'-d]imidazole in the cigarette mainstream smoke were 0.66 and 0.63 ng/cig respectively.
