Heavy metals and rare earth elements in two types of cigarettes were studied. The contents of trace elements were determined by using delayed neutron activation analysis. In the present study 11 elements have been detected in popular and fine brand cigarettes marketed in Egypt. Evaluation of these elements with their potential hazards for smokers is briefly discussed. The material balance (source and sink) for each element was determined. Also the ratio of element recovery to the total amount was assessed.
对两种香烟中的重金属和稀土元素进行了研究。采用缓发中子活化分析法测定微量元素含量。在本研究中，已在埃及市场上销售的大众品牌香烟和高档品牌香烟中检测到11种元素。简要讨论了对这些元素及其对吸烟者潜在危害的评估。确定了每种元素的物料平衡（来源和去向）。还评估了元素回收率与总量的比率。
