This study focused on determining thallium content in tobacco samples collected from a commercial
cigarette brand commonly available in Poland (manufactured by Philip Morris). The samples were analyzed
with the use of differential pulse anodic stripping voltammetry (DPASV) coupled with a flow injection
analysis (FIA) system. The obtained results confirmed that thallium was present in the studied tobacco
samples (average content at 0.0089 ±0.0012μg/g). These findings suggest that cigarette smokers in Poland
may be exposed to the toxic effects of thallium-based compounds present in tobacco.
