High particulate matter burden by cigarillos: A laser spectrometric analysis of second-hand smoke of common brands with and without filter.

Although the global tobacco market of cigarillos is substantial, little is known about their particulate matter (PM) emissions. For exposure risk assessment of cigarillos, the PM fractions PM10, PM2.5, and PM1 of eight cigarillo brands (four with filters) and a reference cigarette were measured. For...
