[Determination of potassium, calcium, manganese, chromium and cadmium in 10 kinds of (tobacco) cigarettes by flame atomic absorption spectrophotometer].

We used the flame atomic absorption spectrophometer to determine the contents of potassium,calcium,manganese, chromium and cadmium in 10 kinds of (tobacco) cigarettes. The results showed that there were different contents of five kinds of metals in different cigarettes, providing useful data for plant and dryness of tobacco as well as the reduction of harm of smoking to human body.
