Analytical methodologies for measuring harmful/potentially harmful chemicals in tobacco products/tobacco smoke Clifford Watson, Ph.D. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention National Centers for Environmental Health Division of Laboratory Sciences June 8-9, 2010 Gaithersburg, Maryland The findings and conclusions in this presentation have not been formally disseminated by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and should not be construed to represent any agency determination or policy.
Objectives • Review general sources for tobacco products/tobacco smoke analytical methods • Terms, abbreviations, general overview of common analytical procedures • Review some commonly used methods for specific chemicals in tobacco/smoke • Multiple methods: Assessing equivalency, criteria to review relative strengths and weaknesses • Summary
Sources for established tobacco products/tobacco smoke methods • International Organization for Standardization (ISO) • Cooperation Centre for Scientific Research Relative to Tobacco (CORESTA) • Health Canada • Commercial Labs (Labstat, Arista, Filtrona Scientific Services) • Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) • Tobacco Industry • Phillip Morris: Counts et al. (Reg. Tox and Pharm 39 (2004) 111-134) • British American Tobacco • Benchmark Study for Massachusetts
Terms and abbreviations Method A standardized analytical laboratory procedure used to determine the amount or concentration of a specific chemical or group of chemicals Analyte A specific chemical (e.g., benzene) or mixture (e.g., tar) that is determined in an analytical laboratory procedure
Example methods for specific chemicals in tobacco products/tobacco smoke Not an exhaustive listing Often multiple methods are available Not an endorsement Inclusion strictly illustrative

Multiple methods Often different methods can provide comparable or equivalent results Standard criteria to establish equivalency exist: Representative sample set for comparison Analytical determination Statistical comparison of results
Some considerations for selecting specific analytical methods Applicability Selectivity/Specificity Universal or chemical specific detection Analytical merit Quantification range, Linearity, Recovery, Robustness, Accuracy, Precision, Reproducibility,…
Summary Analytical methods exist to quantify chemical levels for analytes on example list In many cases multiple analytical methods are available for measuring specific analytes Numerous factors guide decisions for using a specific method when multiple methods are available Means exist to compare analytical data from different methods to ensure comparability
