18、ording to Test Methods D 5955.4.6 The concentration of RSP attributable to ETS, referredto as Sol-PM, is calculated from the airborne concentration ofsolanesol and the experimentally determined weight ratio ofsolanesol to RSP in ETS (2,3,4).5. Significance and Use5.1 Environmental tobacco smoke cons

19、ists of both vaporand particulate phase components. Due to the nature of vaporand particulate phases, they rarely correlate well, and anaccurate assessment of ETS levels in indoor air requiresdetermining good tracers of both phases. Among the attributesof an ideal ETS tracer, one critical characteri

20、stic is that thetracer should “remain in a fairly consistent ratio to theindividual contaminant of interest or category of contaminantsof interest (for example, suspended particulates) under a rangeof environmental conditions.” (5). Solanesol meets this re-quirement, staying in a constant ratio to t

21、he RSP contributed bytobacco smoke over a variety of ventilation conditions andsampling durations (6). UVPM and FPM, which are the tracersor markers employed by Test Methods D 5955, also fulfill thisrequirement. Airborne solanesol, however, is unique in that it isspecific to tobacco smoke and is fou

22、nd only in the particulatephase of ETS. Its high molecular weight and low volatilitymake it extremely unlikely that any solanesol will be lost fromthe membrane filter used for sample collection. Solanesolconstitutes approximately 3 % by weight of the RSP of ETS(2,7,8), making it suitable for measure

23、ment at realistic smokingrates. Of the available ETS particulate phase markers (UVPM,FPM, and solanesol), all are currently used and relied upon, butsolanesol is considered to be a better marker for the particulatephase of ETS and, as a result, provides the best way ofquantifying the contribution of

24、 ETS particulate matter to RSP(3,4,9,10,11,12,13).5.2 To be able to quantify the contribution of ETS to RSPwith a tobacco-specific marker is important because RSP is notspecific to tobacco smoke. RSP is a necessary indicator ofoverall air quality; the Occupational Safety and Health Admin-istration (

25、OSHA) has previously set a PEL (permissible expo-sure level) for respirable dust in the workplace of 5000 g/m3.However, RSP emanates from numerous sources (14) and hasbeen shown to be an inappropriate tracer of ETS (7,15,16,17).UVPM and FPM are used as more selective markers toestimate the contribut

26、ion of tobacco smoke to RSP; however,these markers can overestimate the contribution of tobaccosmoke to RSP due to potential interference from nontobaccocombustion sources. (Refer to Test Methods D 5955 for theprotocol on determining UVPM and FPM.) Although UVPMand FPM are useful in investigations o

27、f indoor air quality,solanesol is a better indicator of the tobacco smoke contribu-tion to RSP. This test method has been used to apportion RSPinto ETS and non-ETS components by determining the weightratio of solanesol to total RSP (2,3,4,7,18,19).6. Interferences6.1 The genus Nicotiana, which inclu

28、des tobacco as one ofits species, is a member of the Solanaceae family of plants.Like tobacco, many plants in this family, particularly thosewhich also contain trace amounts of nicotine, contain solane-sol. Examples are tomato, potato, eggplant, and pepper. Withcooking as the only likely source of i

29、nterference, the potentialfor interference is negligible. However, if there were aninterference of this type, the weight of solanesol would bebiased high and the contribution of ETS to RSP would beoverestimated. It is anticipated that the only measurablecontribution of solanesol to an indoor environ

30、ment wouldcome from tobacco combustion.7. Apparatus7.1 Sample Collection:7.1.1 PTFE Filter, membrane filter with 1.0-m pore sizeand 37mm diameter.
