Constituents in tobacco and smoke emissions from Canadian cigarettes.
BACKGROUND There is relatively little information available about the chemical constituents of tobacco and individual toxic emissions from cigarettes and other tobacco products. OBJECTIVE To characterise 21 constituents in whole tobacco and 41 constituents in the smoke emissions of Canadian cigarettes, as well as to compare differences between domestic and imported brands. METHODS All data ...
متن کاملScreening for developmental toxicity of tobacco smoke constituents.
Cigarette smoking is unrivaled among developmental toxicants in terms of total adverse impact on the human population. According to the American Lung Association, smoking during pregnancy is estimated to account for 20–30% of low-weight babies, up to 14% of preterm deliveries, and about 10% of all infant deaths (http://www.lungusa.org/tobacco/pregnancy_ factsheet99.html). Both active (Stillman ...
متن کاملHow does calcium trigger neurotransmitter release?
Recent work has established that different geometric arrangements of calcium channels are found at different presynaptic terminals, leading to a wide spectrum of calcium signals for triggering neurotransmitter release. These calcium signals are apparently transduced by synaptotagmins - calcium-binding proteins found in synaptic vesicles. New biochemical results indicate that all synaptotagmins ...
متن کاملBiological activity of tobacco smoke and tobacco smoke-related chemicals.
Exposure to whole cigarette smoke from reference cigarettes results in the prompt (peak activity is 6 hrs), but fairly weak (similar to 2 fold), induction of murine pulmonary microsomal monooxygenase activity. This activity can be detected by using as substrates either benzo(a)pyrene or ethoxyresorufin, and can be inhibited by treatment with cycloheximide or actinomycin D. Unlike the induction ...
متن کاملInhalable constituents of thirdhand tobacco smoke: chemical characterization and health impact considerations.
Tobacco smoke residues lingering in the indoor environment, also termed thirdhand smoke (THS), can be a source of long-term exposure to harmful pollutants. THS composition is affected by chemical transformations and by air-surface partitioning over time scales of minutes to months. This study identified and quantified airborne THS pollutants available for respiratory exposure, identified potent...
