[THE LEVEL OF FORMIС ACID IN TOBACCO SMOKE].

Evaluation of the level of contamination of environment by specific components of tobacco smoke (ambient and indoor level of Formic Acid) consider the volume and physico-chemical space parameters of the "passive smokers" location. By method of gasliquid capillary chromatography the content of Formic acid in the air samples of Tobacco Smoke was revealed. Investigations are carried on chromatograph PPE-Millipo-Waters (USA) provided with fireionized detector. Estimation of the corrected volume of holding is conducted with the help of integration Data Module Model 730. Temperature of the environment 18,0°C. The tobacco smoke volume was taked and analyzed from begining of the experiment (after the second enfale in 3 min, 5 min and 10 minuts in the distance of 2, 4 and 6 m. from lighting cigarette. Our data shows that the level Formic Acid in the Tobacco smoke samples taken an 3,0 min after beginning of the experiment (distance 4) was practically the same as a distance 6 m. After 10 min of exposition (same distance) the level of Formic Acid did not exceed tracing values. Due to airdynamic and physiochemical peculiarities Formic Acid has different rate of migration and cover different distance. The obtained data is very important from the point of ecological assessment of the environment and individual sensitivity in the components of ambient and indoor tobacco smoke.
