To study puff-by-puff release characteristics of crotonaldehyde in mainstream cigarette smoke under diverse intensive smoking regimens, we designed an RM20H smoking machine with a puff-by-puff smoke collection unit to automatically trap crotonaldehyde in the mainstream cigarette smoke. Using this process, we trapped, puff-by-puff, crotonaldehyde in mainstream smoke generated by different smoking regimens and quantitatively analysed the levels of crotonaldehyde using high-performance liquid chromatography with a modified QuEChERS sample pretreatment method. On the basis of the crotonaldehyde in each puff, we determined crotonaldehyde's puff-by-puff release characteristics. The results showed that crotonaldehyde's puff-by-puff release remained nearly constant for the International Organization for Standardization mode while increased polynomial trend was seen ( n  ≥ 6) under the Massachusetts and Health Canada smoking regimens. The equation fit for various regimens was good ( R 2  > 0.9192). Release characteristics by puff were classified into four categories: (1) first, second and third puffs; (2) fourth and fifth puffs; (3) sixth puff; and (4) seventh and eighth puffs.

AbstractA procedure has been developed for a simple and specific determination of catechol in cigarette smoke condensate. The analysis is performed by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with column switching between a precolumn and an analytical column. Catechol is separated from most of the condensate components by selective adsorption on a dihydroxyboryl silica gel precolumn. It is then determined without interference on a reverse-phase (C18) column. By column switching this procedure is run automatically within 15 min. The method is well suited for the routine measurement of a large number of samples, since it allows condensate solutions to be injected directly into the analysis system without prior laborious and time-consuming clean-up procedures.
