Abstract
Neutron activation analysis was used for the determination of Na, Al, CI, K, Ca, Sc, Mn, Cu, Br, and La in the tobacco, mainstream smoke condensate, paper, and dropped ash of the Kentucky Reference Cigarette (IRI). The procedure requires no sample transfers prior to activation and no radiochemical separations before counting.Keywords
