Analysis of ethylene oxide and vinyl chloride in THS aerosol


Authored by  PMI

The aerosols are generated on a linear smoking machine and collected using Cambridge filter pad (CFP) followed by two impingers filled with 5 mL of toluene. After the smoking process, the CFP is discarded and the contents of the two impingers are combined and delivered to the analytical laboratory for addition of internal standard and analysis.

The extracts are analyzed by Gas Chromatography with Mass Spectrometry detection (GC-MS) using a column Agilent Pora Plot U 25 m x 0.25 mm ID x 8 µm film thickness.

Results are expressed as µg/item for P1.

Our RRPs

Reduced Risk Products ("RRPs”) is the term we use to refer to products that present, are likely to present, or have the potential to present less risk of harm to smokers who switch to these products versus continuing smoking. PMI has a range of RRPs in various stages of development, scientific assessment and commercialization. Our RRPs are smoke-free products that produce an aerosol that contains far lower quantities of harmful and potentially harmful constituents than found in cigarette smoke.
