Abstract
A method that uses solid-phase microextraction-gas chromatography-selected ion mode mass spectroscopy has been developed for the quantitative determination of phenolic compounds in cigarette smoke condensate. The concentrations of phenol, ο-, m-, and p-cresol, 2-methoxyphenol, 2,6dimethylphenol, 2,4-dimethylphenol, 2,5-dimethylphenol, 4ethylphenol, 3-ethylphenol, 2,4,6-trimethylphenol, 4methoxyphenol, 3-methoxyphenol, vanillin, 1-napthol, and 2napthol present in Kentucky Reference 2R1F and five commercial cigarette brands are determined. Minimal sample preparation is required, and no organic solvents or derivatization reagents are necessary.
