UrTAODUCTION
There are two major objectives when studying the effects of cigarette
mmoke in esperimental animal systems: a) the s+aoking machine ssast stimu-
late bs-- making conditions and these conditions must be easily ra-
yroduced on a daily basis, and b) the particulate phas® of the seoke
aerosol generated must reach the Langs of the an3mald. Every lamma amoicer
has aa almost unique puffing pattern, within which there may be consider-
able Eluctuat.ioa (Wynder and goffman, 1967). Although no s®oUeing device
can duplicate h-a smolci.ng habits, machines can approsimate human making
by usiag standard smoking coaditions which are the average values obtained
from a large ottatber of saohsrs. Four aariables which influence the yield
of total tobacco s®oke, total partiauiate matter (TP:!), and iadividael
smoke constituents, have besa staadardized for machine smoiciag: puff voLrme,
puff frequency, puff duration, and butt length (Wynder and Hoffman, 1967).
® standardized making regamen'tsas'been established where the cigarette is
puffed onee per minute generating a 35 ml puff during a two second period.
ihe cigarette is saoked to a 23 = butt length.
In the present studies, SC3F1/Cuu (C57B1/Cue x C3S/Aaf CuR) =ls and
fe'ma7.m mice eere eaposed to whole cigarette smoke %sing this standard
smoking regtaAen wxth a nev Smoke Esposure Machine (SFId II).'The S}2t II
is an automatic smoking system, designed to generate and deliver a con-
tirnsoue strum of fresh snoke for large scale inbalation studies. Ic is
a dyaemic systan in that the aai.4als do not rebreath the s®oke, In contrast
to a static systen where animals breaths into a chamber. The SSti II uses
revarse making (positive puff) and automatieally loads, lights, puffs,
and distributes the smoke from as maay as 30 cigarettes to special holders
where "nose on.ly'r exposure is effected. A total of 480 miee can be eapoaed
to smake uVing various ®aposnre regimens with the SIIK II anSmal contaicaent
system. The distribution r,aa dosimetry of whole cigarette smoke was deter-
m3aed using this SIIi II system and the results are presented here.

30 cigarettes. The operating principles of this machine are presented else-
where (Moaeybua,,a~t al, 1979). The staadard smoking conditions employad
ars: puff fsraqueacy (oaeaminuta), puff duration (2 seconds), average puff
volume (35 ml) and cigarette butt Length (23 amt average). These conditions
are maintained completely independent of the aaimel contadment systea.
Thirty cigarettes are losrled from a hopper into holders fitted oa the srsr-
face of a rotating drum. The drum advances one holdes position every Z
seconds resulting in all 30 cigarettes being sampled every 60 secoads. Puff
air is forced through the cigarstte being sampled by a constantly held
d3fferential pressure betueea r.ha lit end and the butt end of the cigarette.
7ariable amcuats of dilatioa air can be introduced at the butt and of the
cigarette. This a]loros a range of smoke concentrations from 5-100Z (v/v)
which can be offared to the test aaima2s. The diluted snake flows at a
predetermined rate through a programeabla distribution valve which a+eqnen-
tially directs the smoke, at precise time iatervals, into oae of four .hsanals
leading to the aaimal contaioment.onits, or to an esbiust system. A diagran
of the smoke generation system and aaLm,l containment unit is presented in
Figure 2. Smoke can be alteraated with.breathing air for various intervals
within a one minute cptle. dir is provided to all a!an*+pla ia the absence
of s9aoke. Fach chanaeal hsa the capacity to provide smoke or, air to L20
mice at one time. Cigarette smoke is delivered to the test animals within
2 seconds after generation at the cigarette. Preyious studies have shosra
that smoke particle siae was (as determiaed by methylcyaaoacrylate fixation)
log normally distributed with a geometric mean diameter of 0.34 microns and
geometric standard deviation of 1.35 microns (Holmbarg. 1979).
In the studies presented here, two of the four chaemels were used.
Smoka was provided to aae clauaa®l for a set amoumt of tima (e.g., 30 secomds)
while air aas ptovided to the sacosdchamael. At these predetermined t3me
intervals, the distributiov va.lve was aucomatieaLl.y activated so tbac the
first channel received air whila the second chaanel received smoke. ftoks
exposure is presented in terma of total smoke eaposure tlme, e.g., 30
setoads smoke eapoeare per minute, alte=aated with 30 seconds of air par
miauta, for 10 consecutive minutes resulted in 300 seconds of total smoke
( euposura.

Smoke moIIitoriIIg
A smoke monitoring systam was developed for the SFM iI. Tha monitor
provided coatiauous measurement of smoka particulate phase ('rpri) and smoke
gas phase carbon moaozjde (CO) i;mmadiatel.p up stresm from the aa3male
(see Figure :). Smoke particulates were measured with an optical-type
scattering detector (Siggias st a1., 1978), while a.noa-dispersive infrared
aoalyzar. (Beci®an Model 864-Source Infrared Aealyzer, Fullerton, CA) was
eatployed for CO determiaaticns (Si,ggias at al., 1978, Gayle ae al., 1979).
Each exposure was doewaeated on aSpeedamaag M 2lark II Recorder (Leeds and
Northrap, ttorth hiales, FA) which provided a permaaent recor.d of the puff
by puff profile and fita]l ictegrsted values for both 1'F!i and CO. The
detector signals vere e processed to interface with 'approprixte saf ety appara-
tus to protect the aaima.ts from accidental over exposure. -
The integrated sigaa.t was coaverted to mg TPM by using a correlation
factor derived by simultaaeously. cpmparing this sigual to lmoan weights of ~
'=PM which were col.lected oa Cambry.dge filters (Caabridge Filter Corporation,
Syracuse, NY, see Gayle at al., 1979, for details). For smoke concentrations
between 5% and 20g, the sensor readout oas linear with respect to TPM. The
concentration of a 10Z smoba' aerosol was approximatelp 9-10 {ig I3Wml (v/v).
Male and female BC:3F1/Cum mice (C5781 x C3H/Aaf - Cumber].and Vi®w
Farma, Clinton, TiQ) were purchased at 4-6 weak9 of ag, housed S mice per
cage (str.ialass steel cages equipped with plastic fronts and filter bonnets)
oa Bed-0-Cob coYa cob bedding (Chesapeake Feed Company, Beltsvil7.e, !ID)
and allowed free access to Pnscina Lab Chow and water from an autamatic
watering systea. 8aclc9 containing the animal cages v®re kept in a room
at 70-740r with a light cycle of 12 hours darimess and 12 lsours light from
fluoreseent lights. dica were initially esposed to 80 seconds of 10Z 281

Groups of f ive aaimals are held Ln a "stock like" holder using a co®biaation
of a neck slot and a restra~A~ spring. The chin rest insures that the
nose of the anima3l is aligaed with the cone shaped openin8 on the eaposure
modules (Fig,use 2). The mesa of each saimal passes through a deatal rubber
dam d3aphragm (Process and Instrsmtents Corporation, Brooklyn, NY), Foraang
a seal that preroats eaposure of the body to the smoke aerosoL. Bubber dsm
diaphragms must be changed frequently (at least monthly) to ma+n*9tn the
seal around the nosa. Daily restraint for up to three hours (twice par
day) resulted in mortality and mo obvious ill effects to the anIma].s.
Cigarettes
Kentucky refereoca 2A1 or 281 cigarettes (University of Santneky,
Leu3agton, SY) wore used in these studies. These cigarettes have beea
characterized at Oak Ridge N,atioaal.Laboratory using fhe Phipps and Bird Analy-
tical Smotcing Machine. tTnder these analytical conditions, 2A1 cigarettes
delivered 38.9 t 1.9 mWTI+M, 0.54 t 0.04 mg nicotia, 19.0 - 0.6 mI. C0, (yoneytum
et al., 1979) and 2I4 cigarettes delivered 45.+ = 1.9 mg T!!i, 2.10 - 0.13
mg nicotine and 21.6 s 2.0 ml Co. Cigarettes were preselected on the basis
of weight (1. 7.Z t 0.10 g) and resistance to drav (80 = 5= IL20),
measured with a Filtroua Pressure-i?rop Tester (CSgarette Components L.imitmd,
ttembley, England). Gigarattes were labeled with 0.Z5 - 0.5 uCi 14C-dozria-
coatane (14C-DTC, 3merican 8adiochemical Corporation, Teaford, FL) as
described ,previonsly (Cacon, 1979).
Dosimetry
8ine esperimental measurements 4ra required for each eigarette smake
doshoatr3+ study. These are siaaoarized in Table 1. The smoks TPti aae -
datecm3aed using the opt3cal seasor (see Smoke Monitoring) place directly
in the stooke Line lmmediataiy prsceeding the +`aioals, iass than 0420 csn
fram the eaposure module. Total radioactivity was determined.by withdrawing
tmofan volumes of smoice from the sampa.ing port (see Figure 2), col.'.ecting
this sample oan Camyridge filters, elatir.g these,seoke particn]ates with
pytidiae, and caunt3ag the pyridine solution by liquid scintillation
speacro+s.etry simo.l.taneously with interna]l standards to correct for quenching
and counting effienGy. The specif ic acxivity for the 14C-DTC radiolabeled

snoke was 15-25 disiasegrations per minute (dpm) /ug TPM. Ia addit+i0dq %!!e~ 00 62
smoke delivered to che aalmals was further moo.itored by withdrawiag samples
of smoke from the first and Iast an3mal, eaposnre port in the aniesl costaia-
mear, unit. These mpnsuremeat9 were asad to qua].itatively check the r.adio-
labeled snoice bafore and after esposureof the anima]s. Differences
of lose than 5% of L4C-DTC content saera observed between those two points.
Tha amouat of TP".i res,oved by the animels in Chese eaposuras was less than
C
4X of the total generated.
Mice were exposed co smoke for various tiae periods ranging from 3
weeks to 6 months to allow for adaptioa to esposure to cigarette smoke.
For the dosimatry studies the fo]lowing protocol was used. Mice were espoaed
to either 180 seconds of lOT 2IY1 onlabeled cigaretta smoke using an eaposara
cycle which alteraated 20 seconds of smoke with 40 seconds of air for l0
consecutive minutes, or 300 seconds of 1OZ 2A1 unlabeled cigaritte smoise
using an exposure cycle which alteraated 30 seconds of smoke with 30 seconds
of air for 10 consecutive miautes.' After a 10 minute.rest, mice were then
exposed to selected esposure conditions utilizing 14C--DTC:-= of 14C-=-2Al
cigarette smoke. Imeediately after ssak,e exposure, mica were killed by
C02 asphyaiation and selected tissues were removed, triaed, blotted to
remova excess blood and fluids and stored at -60oC until aaalyred for total
radioac,ivity. The following tissues were selected: head, larynx and
upper trachea, lungs and lover trachea, esophagus and stomach, liver, hides
and a eomaosite sample of all remaining tissues. Lung and lower trachea
ci.!sue samples were weighed before storage.
All tissue samples were coded at Microbiological Associates, packed
in dry ice and shipped to Oak Atdge Nat.ional Laboratory for detera.iaatioa .
of radioactivitq. Tissues rere qutcklT thawed and solubiliaed in an
alcoholic potassiom hydroside solutioa as described previously (Ceton, 1979).
Tissue samples fro® mice exposed. to noa-radiolabeled smoke were used to
determine background values. Background values varied among the different
t.Asaues and averaged 165 dpa for lung and lower trachea, 155 dpe larynx
end upper rrachee, 82 dpm for head, 13.2 dpm for stomach and esophagus,
60 dpa for hides, 55 dpm for lAver, and. 88 dpm for the remain.tag tissues.
Because of background variabi].ity, deposition was not considered sigaifi-
cant imless test tissucs ware found to have values three times above 'i3ack-
ground. The only tissue sample which met these criterala were the head,
3aryoa and upper trachea, lung and lower trachea, and stomach and esophagus.

All radioactive samples were corrected for background, quenching, and
counting efficiency, and final data are preaented in terms of ug TPM
deposited per total tissue.
The affect of total s®oke exposure time oa the deposition of TPl9
in BCiFl/aam mice is shown in Tables 2 and 3: Mice were exposed to 10Z
(q/v) 2R1 cigarette smoka for a. totaL of 180, 360, or 540 seconds (Table 2)
or to 20Z (v/v) 2A1 cigarette smoke for a to.tal of 50, 100, 150 or 200
seconds (Table 3). Depositioa increased in a].L tissues arLh increasing;
exposure times for both smoke concentrations. L tjme dependent linear
increase is evident from Tablee 2 and 3 for deposition ia the long and
iower trachea, the total respiratory tract and the total body. Correla-
tion coefficients (r) of 0.99 were calculated for the deposition in thaa
Lung and lower trachea as a function of total smoke exposure time for both
281 and 2A1 cigarette smoke. the amount'o! radioactivity detected is the
lung sample was always 5 to 10 times above background. No other tissue
samples reflected this amovat of radioactivity, however, the head, laryna
and upper trachea, and esophagus and stomach were generally 2 to 3 times
above thetr respective backgrounds. The liver and composite remains
semples were not above background levels and eere not considered in furtber
eaperiments. TPM deposition on the hides of the animals was found to be
a functiaa of the seal around the nose provided by the rubber dam diaphragms.
Changing these diapbrages routinely resulted in TPM deposition of less
tbatt 25X of the total internal tissue deposition (data not shown).
The intesaaimal variation in TPM deposition in the lung and looser
trachea vss found to be dependent upon exposure time. The coeff icieat
of veriation (cv) for deposition in the lung and iover trachea from 13
nice per group decreased from 0.30 to 0.14 for 10Z smoka when exposure
time vas increased froq 180 to 540 seconds. For 20S amoke, the cv's for
'0 mice par group decreased from 0.67 tc, 0.21 when uposure '.ime vas in-
creased from 50 to 200. The deposition in eatrapulmanary tissues was
more variable and these variations were not dependent upon exposure tjae.
Oeposi.tion in the laryns and upper trachea was the most variable, as
reflected by cv's ranging from 0.16 to 0.80 (see Tables 2 amd 3).
At a 10$ smolse concentration, equivalent deposition of ZPX from
2Aa1 or 2Rl cigarette moke was observed. For a range of exposure tiaea,
-6-

(
HTQ0120064
the rate of deposition of TPH in lung and Lower trachea was 0.45 ug/sec
for ZLL cigarette srake and 0.43 ug TFlVsec from 2RL cigarette smotca. As
can be dsearmined fram data in Table 3, the rate of depositim for 20% U1
smoke, i.e., 0.9 u6 TP"_s/ssc, is double that for I0X 2Al smoke. Compsrisoe
of 10% and 20% 231 cigarette amolce could not be made because of eoaieity to
the anioals of 20X 2R1 saoke.
The SEi tI is a dyoamic smoke exposure machiae which generates smolse
in a flowing stresm to the animals. The snoke flow rate to the aaimels
is 5.0 Iiters/miautPs far = saoks concentration and 2.5 Litprslminute
for 20X smoLce concentration. Dosimetry studies were p®rgormed to determine
whether TPH deposition was altered by a change In flow rate. 8C3F1/(am
fema7.e mica mace esposed to 10Z 2A.L cigarette smols.a for 300 seconds total
eaposnrs time, with smoke flow rates of 1.0, 2.5 or 5.0 liters/minuts. The
smoks scream was mechsnically altered to provide the 1.0 and 2.5 liter/
aiiaate flow rates. Palmouary TPH deposition was 123, 142 and 123 ug TPH
for smoke flow rates of 1.0, 2.5 x* 5.0 liters/minutd, rsspectively. No
change in deposition was observed when the flow rates were changed.
The distribation of TPH within the,mouse was analyzed in all o: these
esperiments. As prqsented in Table 2 far 10X 2R1 cigarette smake, the
percent of total deposition of TPH in lung tissue was over 802 for the
three exposure timea evaluated, with an average of 882 found in the total
respiratory tract. The esophagus and stomach contained the rema-detectable radioactivity. Data from
Table 3 for 20X TAL cigarette staake,
demonstrated that the percent TPTI foand Sn lung tissue was 60, 78, 80 and
81Z for 50, 100, 150 and 200 seconds aaposure tiee, respectively. For
thess same erposare times, the percent TPH found in the total respiratory
tract was 83, 89, 81 and 944, respectively. As seen in dal:a from Table 2,'
the rema ins radioactivity was in the stomach and esopbagtss.
The effect of previous ®aposure to smoke on '!PM deposition and dis-
tribution was determined in three groups of SC3F1/Cum female mics and
compsred to one group of BC31!'l/Ciaa male mice. One group of female mice
and the male group were esposed to tan-T0 minute ~asposnr®s per day (5 days/
week) for 6 manths. A second group of fe9ma].e mice was exposed to ten-10
minute suposusrea per day for 3 moncbs, and the third group of female mice
ums espoacd to ewo-10'miasite exposures per day for 3 veeks. The female
mica from these three groups were exposed simultaaeously during % doaSmetry
eaperiment utilizing 102 ?A]l cigarette smoke for 300 seconds total eaposare

i
/
time. The ®a].e nice were exposed to che same eaposur.e conditions "MS~' 2 a u 6 5
a different day. As shown in Table 4, TPM depo9itioa vas observed tobUe
equivalent for ell four gsoups, with no sigaifi.caat differences observed
between any of the groups for deposiLSoa in th® luag and lover trachea.
Thus the average daposit ian in luog and Lower trachea f or 40 fema].a mico
was 145 pg TPH (average cv 0.15), 167 pg TpK for the total respiratory
tract, and 183 Ng for the total body, compared to deposition ia 30 male
mics of 1&6 ug TPM (a+v ° 0.26) in lung and lower traehea, 170 {ag VN in
the total respiratory tract, and 198 µg TPM for the total body. No
sigaS.ficant differewe in TPM distributiaa was found between m®le and
female asice. The percent distritwtioet vas detsrstiaed from aI]. TO nice.
Bn average of 78% of the TPM was found in the luog and loseer trachea and
93Z was fosmd in the total respiratory tract. These distributioes vere
qaita reproducible with cv's of 0.05 and 0.03 for lung and low®r trachea
and tota]l respiratory tract, respectively.

DISCQSSION
HT00120066
The SFH II described here was designed for iahalation esperiments
of long duration and large-scale, both in tarms of numbers of exposures
and numbers of mica exposed to smoka. The SEK II (Figure 1) is completely
auto®atic and is equipped with monitoriag devices to document exposure
levels and aLso provide safety far aecidental toxic ezposwres or for
aachine malfunctions. The amount of smoke and the exposure times can be
prer.isely varied, while maintaining standard smoke eaposure conditions.
Ovar the last two years, the SEK II has proven to be a re®artRably trouble-
free precision instrument, used 6 to 8 hours per day, 5 days peti week.
While reliability and quantitation in saoke generation are prerequisites
for chronic inhalation studies, an equally import4at prerequisite is the
capacity to expose large msmbers of animals at one time. Animal holding
trays which caa be rapidly Loaded and unloaded because the mics are re-
strained only around the neck (Figure 2), allow the full capacity of the
SEK II to be atilised. In this m~ner, 480 mice esa be "nose only" exposed
to s®oke under the same esposure.conditions (Figure 3).
The key elements which were measured in these experiments and are
necessary for effectively quantitating the Level of smoke exposure using
the SEK II are presented in Table 1. The most important paramaters are
the continuous monitoring of smoke during exposure and the continuous
sampling of the TPti onto a Cambridge filter. The simultaneous measurement
of both parameters greatly decreases sampling error and assures the repro-
ducible conversion of the optical migaal to TFM. The only problam that
should be kept in mind is that th® sampling time must be sufficiently
long so that adequate levels of radioactivity are counted.
The qnantitation of TFM in various tissues of the exposed mice is
probably Influenced by the method of.solubiliaation. Tissues such as the
larynx and loover trachea were observ«ad to have relatively high background
radioactivity (ti155 dpm) and the large variabilities observed among the
differeet mice (intra-asaay cv's from 0.16 to 0.80) seem to reflect these
high background couats. tu lung tissues, however, deposition of TPi was
quite reproducible. For similar exposure conditions repeated savea times,
an average ev of 0.20 was found (intra-assay variation). Over an 18
month period, the cv of the means from seven experiments was 0.08 (intza-
assay variation). Over 2500 tissues wore collected from 500 mice in
these stud,Ses and the subsequent manipulations of these data required

computerized data handling (+Catoa, 1979).
ZPPt deposition was quite dependent upon total exposure tfine and smoU.e
concentration (Tables 2 and 3) and TPM dose was additive for multiple
exposures (Table 2). The rate of deposition in pulTnonary tissues Lncreased
two fold as the amoke concentration was doubled. Deposition was simil,iar
in male and fema].e mice (Table 4) and over a 6 monch tims period, mice
did not Ieara to avoid the smoke (xable 4). Predictioe.s of dose for
smoke iubSJ.ation studies based upon aerosol concentration, exposure times
and frequency of exposure can be made from these dosimetry experiments.
Variabilit-7 in deposition in earapulmoaary tissues (e.g., b,ead, laryax,
s+tomach) maay result from the low Lc+rvels of radioactivity in these tissues
relative to background.
Eaposure conditions described here demoastrated that ti70-80x of the
P.PIi was found in the Lung and lower trachea, 't-80-90X of the TPM in the
total respiratory tract and ti10X in the esophagus and stomach. Shorter
ezposure times (i.e., 5 seconds af .smolce/minute for 10 minutes, Table 3)
resulted in lower percentage deposition in pulmonary tissue, suggesting
that the mice could possibly influence deposition at these short esposare
tim$s, perhaps by altering their breathing patterns (Keadrich, et a~,l 1978).
It should be pointed out, however, that short exposure times result in less
total deposition and, therefore, the sampling error for detecting radio-
activity is greater.
Depositi.on data ean also be presented in terms of TPM depositioa pes
given amount of tissue. Using data in Table 4 for BC3F7./Cum female mice
exposed for 3, months, ].ung deposition can be calculated to be 0.63 Itg 'IPFUmg
Lung weight and 6.2 µg TPWg body veight, with deposition ia the total res-
piratory tract of 7.1 {tg TPM/g body weight. For BC3Fi/Cam male nice exposed
for 3 months, the values are 0.65 Ng IPi/mg lung weight, 6.0 1ig TPWg body
weight for lung deposition and 6.2 ug TAM/g body weight :or deposition in
the total respiratory tract.
These data for deposition and distribution of TPli from smoke generated
and delivered 3n the SIIi YI system agree siell with dosimetrp rmsults obtaimed
with mice exposed to smoke using the Walton 8orizontal Smoking :lach.iLne, a
Maller capacity, static exposure machiae, (g®szrq, at al, 1980). Mice asposed

Dapositi.on data for mice expoaed to cigarette smoke caa be compared
to data for other species, including b.amaas. Data for humans are frequently
given in texms of _ummilative '!T"M deposition after expoeure to 20 cigarettes.
Hakiag such a comparison from the avai,iable astimatas (Binas, 1977), the
as=t of 'CPi"t deposition in mice under exposure conditions of 10% smoke
concentration and 300 seconds total smok® esposure was found to be approai-
ms,tely eqa:Lvalent to TPM deposition in a huesn vho has smoked 20 cigarettes
(1 paclslday smoksr). This estlms,ta Qas based oa the following ass®ptions
(after Binns, 1977): a) body weight of the subject is 70 kg; b) subject
smokes 20 cigarettes, each arith a delivery of 37.6 ag/cigaratta; c) 70Z of
the inhaled TPM is retained, and of this portion, 10Z ia retained ia the
mouth of the smoker. That is, dejosition of '%,6.8 ag YPlS/kg body weight or
~%09e ug ZPH/g lvag weight has been estlmated for hueans smoking 20 cigarettes,
while the studies presented here ia mica abom that deposition of '%6-7 mg
'1TM/kg body weight or 'v640 ug TPrS/g luag veight is foand in mica following
esposure to seoke from the equivalent a.f one cigaratte (Table 4).
These studies and others carried out in our laboratory using the Waltos
8ori.zontal Smoise Exposure Machiae (Heary, a al, 1980) have demonstrated the
suitability of the mouse as an aaima1 modal for inha]ation studies. Results
wil] be comm^n{^=ted elsevhere regarding carboxyhamoglobia levels in miee
after exposure to smo&e (Panay, It al, 1981), as wall as the deposition
and clearance of other smolce constituents (Renry, et al, L981). Results
presented b.ere detonstrate that using the Sffi II, matsei eapoaw:-e reg3 mans
can be daqeloped so the tosic effects of cigarette smoke can,be reduced and
survival kept high (no mico died during any of the doeimetry aaperiments).
Ia fact, recent studies have shown that at least ten eaposures per day of
300 seconda eace to 2A]. cigarette amoks (10T, v/v) can be given.to BC3P1/CLn
mica for at least one year with less tban lOx death oheerved coBOpared to
