Determination of Organic Solvent Residues in Printed Label by Head-space GC/MS

In order to reduce the cigarette pollution by ink solvent residues in printed label, the volatile components in 6 kinds of printed label were analyzed by head-space GC/MS.The results indicated that the residues of ethanol, isopropanol, butanol, ethyl acetate, propyl acetate, butyl acetate, cyclohexanone, 1-methoxy-2-propanol, and 2-ethoxy-1-ethanol were identifiable;and the residues in some samples were over 30 mg/m².
