Abstract
In addition, a combination of these interacting factors may explain the worse level of between-laboratory reproducibility data for particulate matter measurement obtained during intense machine smoking. Among-laboratory data variability for vapour phase components, other than carbon monoxide, and for particulate phase components, other than nicotine, still needs to be evaluated in collaborative studies. Before proposing smoking regimes as tools to evaluate smoke emissions, it is essential to understand these various interacting factors and subsequent uncontrolled effects that such regimes can generate and the limitations of their use. These observations imply that higher tolerances may need to be set and taken into account when smoking under the intense regime before deciding that, for a given product, there are real differences between the yields determined in different laboratories.
