BS 5202-18:1997 Methods for chemical analysis of tobacco and tobacco products - Determination of vapour-phase nicotine in air (gas-chromatographic method)
This International Standard specifies a method for the determination of vapour-phase nicotine in ambient air. If the method is used to determine nicotine derived from tobacco smoke, it has to be accepted that whilst airborne nicotine is a qualitative marker to confirm that smoking has taken place, on the basis of research, its amount cannot be quantitatively extrapolated to other smoke com-ponents.
