Abstract
Use of a mixed ion-exchange resin as a filter for cigarettes markedly reduces both the total amount of polonium-210 in mainstream smoke and the picocuries per milligram of smoke. This procedure effectively minimizes exposure of the lungs of smokers to alpha irradiation.This publication has 9 references indexed in Scilit:
