This paper discusses the results of 210Po determinations in the
fourteen most frequently smoked brands of cigarettes, which constitute
over 80% of total cigarette consumption in Poland. The 210Po activity
in the cigarette samples analysed (tobacco, ash, filter before and
after smoking) were measured using alpha spectrometry
(Canberra-Packard). The data indicates that there is considerable
variation in the polonium content of these brands. The highest 210Po
content per sample was found in the cheap "Popularne" brand (24.12
mBq), the lowest in "Caro" (4.23 mBq). There was also a large
difference between the polonium remaining in the ash in comparison
with its total content in the tobacco in all the brands (from 4.3% for
"Golden American" to 71.0% for "Sobieski King-Size"). The analysis has
demonstrated that filters absorbed only a small amount of the polonium
contained in the tobacco. "Caro" cigarettes have the most efficient
filter, retaining 25.1% of the polonium contained in the tobacco, but
most filters absorbed only 0.1-7.2% of polonium. The daily inhalation
of 210Po by Polish smokers who get through one pack per day ranges
from 20 to 215 mBq, but people smoking two or more packs of
"Popularne" brand will inhale over 430 mBq of polonium per day.
