Tobacco monopoly bureau: The report is not objective and just that the heavy metal of cigarette exceeds standard
On October 8, the international tobacco controls the policy to assess the project (ITC) The scientific research report that the organization announces reveals, 13 domestic cigarette brands of China detect and contain the heavy metal, content with Canada its produce cigarette, compare, most superb to produce more than of triple. It's reported by " southeast bulletin " that, the cigarette brand is that these 13 pieces of heavy metal exceed standard: Bai Sha, large Qianmen, treasure, red double happiness, gold leaf, Happiness are (auspicious) , Red River, red gold dragon, red plum, red flag canal, the mountain, stone forest, a pen of Hongta. Report the heavy metal accompanies the exhaust gas to enter body quantity that the cadmium and lead are absorbed is most Report of this scientific research was jointly done by the researchers of U.S.A. and Canada. Since 2005, they cost three years to examine almost all the common cigarette brands on the Chinese market, analyze its physical characteristic, content of heavy metal,etc.. Canada is strict with detection of the cigarette, producing and importing the producers all needs measuring and putting the key figure on record to Ministry of Public Health, this comparison is exactly the standard of the same period of Canada. In 13 Chinese cigarette brands measured in 2005/2006 years, the average content of arsenic is 0.82�� g/g (0.3~3.3) ,Cadmium is 3.21�� g/g (2.0~5.4) ,The lead is 2.65�� g/g (1.2~6.5) ,Chromium is 0.55�� g/g (0.0~1.0) . Except chromium, three kinds of other heavy metal exceed standard seriously. The normal range that and the human body absorbs the heavy metal every day is respectively, arsenic 0.1-0.3mg, cadmium 0.6mg, chromium 0.05mg. In the exhaust gas of the cigarette, the heavy metal compound exists in a kind of form which is named the aerosol, then enter body accompanying by the exhaust gas. The heavy metal of lead, cadmium, arsenic, once enter people's body and want to discharging is a very slow course. If smoke the cigarette of No. 20 Branch in one day, probably the body comes down in an average one day will absorb 3.2 micrograms of cadmium, this quantity is not enough to be harmful to symptom at once. But will pile up the toxin in the human body slowly if every day if smoking. Scholars have carried on relevant research at home, have found it in the exhaust gas of a cigarette, the heavy metal easiest to absorb is cadmium, secondly it is the lead, a cigarette probably has 46.4% cadmium and 26.4% of the lead that will enter lung. And calculate, one gram includes 5.4 micrograms of cadmium according to the cigarette of a brand at most of cadmium content, one about 14 of pipe tobacco of cigarette, have, inhale enter 35 micrograms of cadmium by one cigarette. In almost three months, cadmium gathered in the body is harmful enough. The heavy metal can cause people's headache, dizzy, insomnia, forgetful, mentally deranged, joint paining, calculus, cancer. What deserves to be mentioned is, the heavy metal in the second hand smoke has very great danger too. Where does the heavy metal followed the trail of in cigarettes come from the tobacco and soil of producing region from It is not a fresh word that the heavy metal is polluted absolutely, will heavy metal in the vegetables which we ate all the same, all these come from the soil. Originally contained certain heavy metal in the soil, but quantity was very small. Really a many one is to follow the sewage, urban offal and enter heavy metal of soil, they in 40 soil layer of the above mainly, difficult transformation, it is difficult to be decomposed by the microorganism. In addition, there is research that shows, content and pH value of heavy metallic elements such as cadmium, nickel, lead in the tobacco leaf,etc. are to defeat by the relevant one, so the sourer the soil is, the more content of the heavy metal is. Our country burn and include the coal of sulphur in a large amount, there is more and more acid rain, the soil is influenced naturally too. (Quote from " the heavy metal source of smoking in the course is analyzed and prevented " according to " Business of Chongqing "; " the heavy metal of tobacco is studied and summed up ") Introducing the heavy metal pollutant cigarette may be known and introduced the heavy metal pollutant too while processed in processing, for example will use the essence, spices while processed, and there may be machinery to keep in touch. In addition, different preparation methods will influence the final content of heavy metal in the finished cigarette too, studies have suggested the content of heavy metal has certain differences in the cigarette of different place of production, different brand: Analyze from the intersection of cigarette and grade, heavy metal included than high middle-grade and high in the low-grade cigarette; Look from cigarette cigarette type, flue-cured tobacco type to the content of fragrant heavy metal is low outside. The reason for producing these differences, except quality and air-cured way of place of production of raw materials, environment, tobacco leaf for producing cigarette, may also relate to the prescription of the cigarette, production technology. (quote from according to " Business of Chongqing " " the heavy metal source of smoking in the course is analyzed and prevented ") Response Two companies claim that officers have claimed that does not have international standard to stop production Large Qianmen, red double happiness maker Shanghai (tobacco) The relevant personnel of office of group company say: " too high raw materials for production (tobacco leaf) that point in the report Heavy metal too high, this have something to do with the intersection of tobacco leaf and climatic condition of person who produce, but this the intersection of group and what can control. " To a red cloud Red River Company (produce Happiness) Staff consultation,last expression this: " Happiness is (auspicious) Has not produced for a long time, why list on board yet this time? " The person in charge of Co., Ltd. office of cigarette tells reporters in Shandong: "We have not produced a pen, this brand, for a long time, this too high incident of heavy metal has no effect on us. " As for some other family companies, the reporters send a telegram to its office to all reveal nobody answers. The king of Technology Office of State Tobacco Monopoly Bureau offers and gives birth to the Vice chief to say: "Though our country has not issued the heavy metal market access standard to the whole cigarette yet, but this standard is not only that China does not have, but also have in the world, Canadian researcher regards national smoke as the object of reference, still list in some cigarettes that has already stopped being produced, by the look of position and angle, can not say it is totally objective and just. " XianSheng Wang say mention most superb to produce more than triple in the report, that is to say it is all 13 the intersection of cigarette and content of heavy metal that higher than triple. This report can only regard as and study properties, there are certain reference meanings. Still heavy Zheng's justice
