[Gaschromatographic determination of carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide. Investigations from the gas phase of cigarette smoke].
A gaschromatographic method for the quantitative determination of CO and CO2  is described. The method is suitable in a wide sensitivity range from ppm to % content of these gases. CO, CH4 and CO2 are separated under isothermic working conditions by the use of a column filled with carbon molecular sieve CMS. The column should be regenerated only after more than 1000 analyses. The quantitative determination of CO and CO2 in cigarette smoke is reported. With a total retention time of less than one min. this system enables the analysis of the carbon oxides to be performed puff by puff. The CO and CO2 contents of the vapour phase of various test cigarettes are discussed.
