Re: Evaluation of Dosimeters for Determination of Certain Constituents of Environmental Cigarette Smoke.

Abstract

Outlines a research project evaluating different dosimeters and their sensitivity to constituents of environmental cigarette smoke, including carbon monoxide, formaldehyde, and ammonia. States that each researcher working on the project will submit a "fairly comprehensive protocol" for the particular constituents they will be researching. Mentions that the sensitivity, duration of effectiveness, and the effect of smoke on each dosimeter will be determined. Determines the concentration range for each constituent. Same as Bates #1000018646.
