Side stream smoke is extremely harmful to people smoking cigarettes and people who are in the environment. Side stream smoke is comprised of a particulate phase and vapor or gaseous phase. The functional requirements on methods of collection of side stream smoke are specified in various Coresta (50, 54, 55) and ISO standards. Additionally, Patent activity on the collection of side stream smoke has focused on minimizing the impact on the real cigarette smoking event while being efficient in collection. One goal of the project is a prototype system that collects both the particulate phase and the vapor phase of side stream smoke. Another goal of the project is a technical benchmarking summary report that defines and quantifies the physics and engineering involved in the collection and processing of side stream smoke. The side stream smoke collection system may capitalize on mechanisms currenlty used in the existing smoking machine, or it may stand alone. However, the prototype side stream collection system must interface with the existing smoking machine system. The successful prototype system will interact and interface with the existing mechanical, electrical, LabVIEW controls and overall system package. |

Young Jun Jun (Dave) - team lead |
The responsibility of Dave so far has been to research sidestream collection method and come up with a physical design for MSD II. This began by researching sidestream collection method itself such as CORESTA, ISO and FTC. Next step was to benchmark all of the finding to other research institutions such as health canada, BAT, Arista, etc. Finally, research and sort all components and parts for the upcoming MSD II including CAD drawings. | |
| Shamal Peiris | Responsible for understanding mainly CORESTA standards along with the ISO & Health Canada standards (research), ordering parts and delivery time, cataloging parts (selection) and management of risk assessment & design block diagrams | |
| Tim Christo | Managing customer needs to generate engineering specifications, and some required research and benchmarking. Later on, will also focus on feasibility analysis, and helping to purchase parts |
