Utilization of activated carbon cloth (ACC) as
cigarette filter for the removal efficiencies of cigarette smoke constituents
was studied. Cigarette smoke contains thousands of chemicals which are
hazardous to human health. When the cigarette burns, thousands of chemical
substances are generated, and these are emitted to gas phase. Some of these
chemicals have already proven to be carcinogenic. In
this work, the removal of the chemicals in cigarette smoke was studied in
dynamic phase using a new product of activated carbon cloth (GDSEL 651) by
proposing a new strategy. The reduction of chemicals in cigarette smoke using
cigarette filters that are built manually having non-filter, mono-layer and
double-layer of ACC filter was monitored by GC-MS. The flow
rate of cigarette smoke was 2.48 LPM. It was found that in all filters that were used the concentration of
chemicals in the smoke decreased, some of them decreased to zero. As a
result, activated carbon cloth has proven to filter harmful substances
effectively in cigarette smoke before entering the body during smoking. Such
filter media has the ability to remove many chemicals in the air and has
potential for many other air purification applications.
