More specifically, the present invention relates to a cigarette combustion gas filter containing a radical scavenger, such as a cigarette direct smoking filter and a rational air purification filter for secondhand smoking.

゛■ is ``supposed to do''. Despite the widespread use of filters that remove tar and nicotine from cigarettes, the current situation is that they are not able to remove the harmful effects of cigarettes. In other words, although particulate matter such as tar and nicotine is a type of harmful substance, existing filters cannot remove other harmful substances present in cigarette smoke. This is because it is not possible.

oyment health Perspective
es, 1984.1 ~ 36) *Tobacco radicals, which are the residual substances, are present both in the cigarette smoke directly inhaled by smokers, that is, mainstream smoke, and in the rising smoke of cigarettes, that is, secondary smoke. It is also present in smoke. However, at present, there is no known filter that removes such radicals from cigarette smoke.

Radical is a general term for anything that has an unpaired electron. Therefore, different radicals are usually derived from different compounds, and the properties and reactivity of those radicals also naturally vary.For example, a methyl radical derived from a compound having a methyl group and a triphenylmethyl group react with each other. Their gender is extremely different.

For some radicals, scavengers are known as necessary. For example, it is a polymerization inhibitor for preventing radical polymerization reactions. However, this is only because the effect of inhibiting polymerization under specific conditions is known for specific radicals. The radicals present in cigarette smoke remain stable despite their high reactivity. This fact is surprising considering the conventional wisdom about radicals.

本発明の課題は、煙草の煙に存在するラジカルを喫煙す

An object of the present invention is to provide a filter that removes radicals present in cigarette smoke under smoking conditions.

. The inventors of the present invention have conducted intensive studies on filters that can remove radicals generated in cigarettes. As a result, it was discovered that a filter using the radical scavenger described later has a great removal effect even under smoking conditions, and the present invention was completed.

On the other hand, since the radical scavengers used in rational air purification filters are not of a nature that can be taken directly into the human body, their own safety is not as strict as that of the radical scavengers used in cigarette filters. However, since it is necessary to capture low concentration radicals diluted with air, it is necessary to use a highly reactive radical scavenger. Therefore, polyoxy compounds and quinones are preferred as radical scavengers used in rational air purification filters.

If the radical scavenger is a solid, for example vitamin C, vitamin C is pre-supported on the activated carbon by dissolving the vitamin C in water, adding activated carbon, etc., which is known as a filler for filters, and drying under reduced pressure. do. Examples include a method of filling activated carbon or the like between filters, or a method of dissolving vitamin C in water or the like and impregnating filter fibers such as cellulose acetate fibers. Alternatively, a method may be mentioned in which filter fibers impregnated with vitamin C are freeze-dried, supported on the filter fibers, and used as is. Further, in the case where the radical scavenger is a liquid, for example, vitamin E, a method of directly impregnating the filter fiber with the radical scavenger may be mentioned. but,
There are no restrictions on the method of impregnating the filter as long as the effect of the present invention can be obtained by impregnating the radical scavenger with a method other than these methods.

また、本発明のフィルターに含有するラジカル捕捉剤は
、通常は細かく分散させたもの程ラジカルの除去効果が
良好であり好ましい。
Further, the finer the radical scavenger contained in the filter of the present invention is, the more finely dispersed it is, the better the radical removal effect is, and therefore it is preferable.

したがって、ラジカル捕捉剤をフィルターに含有させる
方法としては、ラジカル捕捉剤を活性炭に担持して分散

Therefore, the most preferable method for incorporating the radical scavenger into the filter is a method in which the radical scavenger is supported on activated carbon and dispersed, and the activated carbon is filled between the filters.

Furthermore, the greater the amount of radical scavenger contained in the filter of the present invention, the greater the effect of scavenging cigarette radicals.
If it is too large, the pressure loss of the filter will increase. Therefore, when used in the filter of a filter-equipped cigarette, an amount of 50 mg or less is sufficient for one cigarette.

Example 1 A commercially available cigarette (Mild Seven) was attached to a 5 cm long glass tube filled with 500++ g of benzoquinone together with glass wool and burned in air. The cigarette smoke was sucked through a glass tube with an aspirator and introduced directly into the absorption liquid prepared with the spin trap agent until the cigarette was burned out.

This spin adduct was observed by ESR and compared with the case where benzoquinone was not used. As a result, the radical removal rate when benzoquinone was used was 11%. A radical removal test was conducted by changing the radical scavenger and its usage amount as shown in the table. The results are shown in Table 1 together with Example 1.
