The Elemental Secrets of Cigarettes 🚭 Cigarettes are composed of various materials, from tobacco blends and filters to treated paper and additives, each designed to enhance functionality and user experience. Using the Atlas M microXRF, IXRF Systems conducted a detailed elemental analysis, revealing the structure and sources of these components. Key findings include the detection of elements like aluminum, calcium, and arsenic, shedding light on agricultural inputs and manufacturing processes. The study also highlights the environmental implications of cigarette waste, including non-biodegradable filters and trace metal contamination. Beyond tobacco, the Atlas M microXRF offers transformative applications in agriculture, environmental science, and material analysis.
