A method for determining the content of chromium, nickel, arsenic, selenium, cadmium, and lead in cigarette ash, characterized in that the cigarette ash is collected by using an ash board, the ash sample is digested by microwave digestion, and the chromium in the ash is detected by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry , nickel, arsenic, selenium, cadmium, lead element content. The present invention adopts the ash plate to collect the soot, realizes the separate collection of the soot of each cigarette on the conventional smoking machine, and effectively avoids the loss of the soot during the smoking process and the cross-contamination of the soot of different cigarettes. Microwave digestion is used to process samples, which avoids the danger of using perchloric acid in the traditional electric heating plate digestion method, reduces the amount of acid used, improves the digestion capacity, has good digestion effect, less element loss, and is simple and easy to operate. The mixed acid system used is suitable for the treatment of cigarette ash samples, and the digestion is complete. The parameters of inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry adopted in the method can effectively correct interference, and the method has high sensitivity, good repeatability, high recovery rate and accurate results.
