Reference Materials for Smoking-Related Substances

Substances present in smoking-related products - such as tobacco, cigarettes and e-cigarette/vaping devices - are known for their negative health impacts and potential toxicity.

In toxicological analysis, it is therefore often necessary to analyse biological samples to identify and quantify compounds found in these products that are hazardous to health. These can include carcinogenic compounds like PAHs and other chemicals found in tar, nicotine, nicotine metabolites such as cotinine, and carbon monoxide.

These analyses are carried out in order to understand exposure levels and impacts on health in both casework and research - which subsequently guide individual assessments, as well as the development of health policies to reduce smoking-related risks and mitigate adverse impacts on health.
