Abstract
Tobacco smoke contains more than 4,000 chemicals, and 44 compoundshave been classified as human carcinogens. Toxicity can beboth mainstream smoke as well as the constituents of environmentaltobacco smoke. In the light of this evidence, work is intensifyingon assessing exposure on the basis of the results of tests performedto quantify the amounts of suitable environmental tobacco smokeconstituent biomarkers in samples of biological materials takenfrom humans. The authors present information on the compositionof tobacco smoke and its toxicity to humans, and also data onthe methodologies applicable in the analysis of biological materialsamples for their biomarker content.
