Issues of assessing the content of carbonyl compounds in the aerosol of innovative nicotine-containing products: nicotine delivery systems of various designs (LUXLITE, VON ERL My, iKuu i200) and electric tobacco heating system iQOS, by high-performance liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry. At the international level (CORESTA, ISO/TC 126), a lot of work is being done to create methods for quality control of nicotine-containing products. Requirements for nicotine-containing products are not regulated within the EAEU. The monitoring of world studies to determine the content of toxic and conditionally toxic components of aerosol NSP, carried out using the method of machine Smoking. Vniitti IS developing a methodology for comprehensive evaluation of innovative nicotine-containing products on the basis of modern methods of product quality control. Of particular interest is the determination of the content of carbonyl compounds in the aerosol generated by SDN and ESNT, which started in the laboratory of tobacco production technology within the Eurasian Economic Union. The results of machine Smoking according to the canadian intensive method, ISO method, VNIITTI method, standard and experimental CORESTA methods are analyzed. Developed testing methodology and collection of aerosol-nicotine produce using a laboratory five-CERULEAN Smoking machines SM 405. The technique of quantitative determination of carbonyl compounds using high-performance liquid chromatomass spectrometry LCMS/MS by detection at an electrospray source in the negative polarity mode on analytical equipment was validated: chromatograph Thermo Scientific Dionex UltiMate 3000 and mass spectrometer TSQ Quantiva. Validation of methods for collecting and determining the content of carbonyl compounds (formaldehyde, acetaldehyde and acrolein) in the aerosol of nicotine-containing products of various types allowed to obtain reliable data to establish the potential of innovative products to reduce the risk compared with traditional cigarettes. Experimental data on the quantitative determination of carbonyl compounds in the NSP aerosol were obtained. Further research will focus on the development of evidence-based safety requirements for innovative types of nicotine-containing products.
