POLONIUM-210 CONTENT OF MAINSTREAM CIGARETTE SMOKE.
When eleven brands of cigarettes were smoked in a standardized manner, differences in the polonium-210 content of various brands were found. The differences were not directly related to the presence of a filter or to the construction of the filter, but were related to the amount of particulate matter in the mainstream smoke.
