AB  - Utilization of activated carbon cloth (ACC) ascigarette filter for the removal efficiencies of cigarette smoke constituentswas studied. Cigarette smoke contains thousands of chemicals which arehazardous to human health. When the cigarette burns, thousands of chemicalsubstances are generated, and these are emitted to gas phase. Some of thesechemicals have already proven to be carcinogenic. Inthis work, the removal of the chemicals in cigarette smoke was studied indynamic phase using a new product of activated carbon cloth (GDSEL 651) byproposing a new strategy. The reduction of chemicals in cigarette smoke usingcigarette filters that are built manually having non-filter, mono-layer anddouble-layer of ACC filter was monitored by GC-MS. The flowrate of cigarette smoke was 2.48 LPM. It was found that in all filters that were used the concentration ofchemicals in the smoke decreased, some of them decreased to zero. As aresult, activated carbon cloth has proven to filter harmful substanceseffectively in cigarette smoke before entering the body during smoking. Suchfilter media has the ability to remove many chemicals in the air and haspotential for many other air purification applications.
