Benzo[a]pyrene (BaP) is a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon produced during incomplete combustion of organic compounds and is one of the more carcinogenic PAHs detected in tobacco smoke. Addition of organic compounds during tobacco processing increases the likelihood of finding elevated concentrations of BaP in mainstream smoke when compared to smoke from unprocessed tobacco. To test this hypothesis, the tobacco from Marlboro "Red" (processed) cigarettes and nonprocessed Burley tobacco leaf cigarettes was combusted and the resulting combustion products were collected onto glass fiber filter pads. The quantity of BaP in the tobacco tar extracted from the pads was measured using reversed-phase liquid chromatography with fluorescence detection. The concentration of BaP in the processed tobacco smoke was significantly higher than in unprocessed tobacco smoke. These results suggest that compounds added during tobacco processing increase the concentrations of BaP and therefore the carcinogenic potential of cigarettes. |
