Abstract
A system which utilizes a piston pump to generate cigarette smoke under standard conditions, and expose rodents to the inhalation of diluted smoke for controlled periods of time is described. Variations of the basic system have been employed to exposure groups of ten to twenty hamsters or rats, and should allow exposures of up to forty mice. The system has been in use for approximately 24 months in routine chronic exposures of rats. Data are presented to define the operating characteristics and typical dosimetry. Animal containment peculiar to this apparatus is described.
