Résumé
Cigarette butts (CBs) are small residues with mixed composition. Produced in large amounts, their accumulation in the environment has become alarming. It is possible to classify more than 7000 chemical components generated either in the burning process or when distilled from the tobacco. The aim of this work was to describe the rate of release of phenolic compounds from CBs, to determine the content of these compounds in freshly smoked CBs and to monitor the release of phenols from CBs into fresh natural waters. The kinetics of release of selected phenolic compounds (hydroquinone, resorcinol, pyrocatechol, phenol, guaiacol, o-cresol, m-cresol, p-cresol) into water was monitored for 48 h. More than 90% of the content was extracted within 10 h for all analytes. The phenolic content was determined in the CBs of five different brands. The total content of phenols determined for each sample of freshly smoked CB was 215-861 µg/CB. For all CBs analysed, phenol, pyrocatechol and hydroquinone were the most abundant analytes, accounting for up to 75% of the content of all phenols determined. Phenol was the most abundant analyte (64.6-267.8 µg/CB) in all analysed samples. The content of pyrocatechol, the second most abundant analyte, was 45.6-221.2 µg/CB and the third most abundant analyte was hydroquinone (41.71-157.5 µg/CB). Monitoring the release of phenols from CBs into fresh natural waters (river, stream, pond) under steady and slight moving conditions showed that the kinetics of release is not influenced by the type of water. On the contrary, the process of decomposition of the released compounds is influenced by the type of water. The maximum concentrations of individual phenols in CBs extracts were comparable to those determined via laboratory extraction, thus indicating that within 72 h, most of the phenolic compounds are released from CBs into natural water. This research provides missing information on the phenolic content in CBs and the rate of release into water. It thus complements previously published information on CBs as a source of environmental contamination.
