The Chemical Components of Tobacco and Tobacco Smoke

Alan Rodgman Provides the first such single source reference since 1968 Catalogues and indexes over 8,200 tobacco and tobacco smoke components (compared to 1,200 in 1968) of which more than 5,200 are tobacco smoke components Presents nearly 6000 cited references that deal with many topics pertinent to the components in question are also listed with Lists the corresponding Chemical Abstracts Registration Number for the majority of the catalogued components Includes considerable discussion on the adverse smoking health-related problems assigned to specific components, as well as discussions of the smoke components shown to negate such deleterious effects

TheChemical Components of Tobacco and Tobacco Smokeprovides the only up-to-date single-source listing of the components reported in tobacco and its smoke. The first such reference since 1968, this work includes 8200 components and cites nearly 6000 references. Each chapter begins with an introduction describing the component type and various aspects of its properties. Those component classes deemed significant in the smoking-health problem offer more extensive introductions. This invaluable resource serves as a reference to the proper Chemical Abstracts Registry names for these components. Each component is listed with its proper scientific name and is classified by chemical structure.
