Experimental Investigation of the Relative Contributions of Charcoal and Tobacco to Carbon Monoxide and Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon Yields in the Mainstream Smoke of the Narghile Waterpipe
This work has focused on the relative contributions of charcoal and tobacco to c arbon monoxide and PAH yields, two major causative agents in tobacco smoke relat ed diseases, delivered in the mainstream smoke of the narghile waterpipe. The o verall process was to compare the CO and PAH yields for a waterpipe smoked using a standard smoking protocol for three cases: 1) the baseline case with tobacco and charcoal; 2) a case with charcoal alone; 3) a case with tobacco and an elect ric heater. Spatial and temporal distributions of temperature in the narghile he ad for the 3 mentioned conditions were measured and the yields of CO and PAH wer e compared. An electric heater called "electric-coal" was designed to mimic the burning char coal disk; it delivered similar convection and conduction heat transfer rates to the narghile head in which it produced similar spatial and temporal temperature distributions. The "electric-coal" was also validated by measuring the ratio of the total parti culate matter (TPM) to the amount of burnt tobacco in the head. The amount of sm oke produced by electric heating and the amount of burnt tobacco in the head wer e similar to the charcoal heating case. It has been found that charcoal is clearly responsible of carbon monoxide genera tion and it is also the major source of PAH while tobacco is the main source of particulate matter.
