Monitoring the characteristic components in tipping paper is important to ensure the quality of cigarette products. This study establishes a method based on gas chromatography (GC) for determining cooling agents in tipping paper. The tipping paper was cut into pieces and extracted by ethanol under specific temperatures in a shaker. Then, the characteristic cooling agents of (-)-menthone, L-menthol, and (-)-menthyl lactate in extract were determined using GC coupled with a flame ionization detector (GC-FID). The limits of detection (LODs) and limits of quantification (LOQs) for the three cooling agents ranged from 0.15~0.32 μg/mL and 0.49~1.06 μg/mL, respectively. Results demonstrated a good linear relationship with high correlation coefficients for the three tested cooling agents. The extraction conditions of the cooling agents were optimized through a single-factor experiment as well as an orthogonal experiment. The standard addition recovery experiment showed that the average recoveries range from 81.23 to 100.62%, and the relative standard deviations (RSDs) of the measured values (n = 5) ranged from 0.34 to 1.64%.

Problem/Condition: Splash pads are recreational interactive water venues that spray or jet water on users. Splash pads are intended for children aged <5 years and designed so that water typically does not collect in areas accessible to users, thereby minimizing the risk for drowning. Splash pads were first found to be associated with waterborne disease outbreaks in 1997. Period Covered: 1997-2022. Description of System: Since 1971, waterborne disease outbreaks have been voluntarily reported to CDC by state, local, and territorial health departments using a standard paper form via the Waterborne Disease and Outbreak Surveillance System (WBDOSS). Beginning in 2009, WBDOSS reporting was made available exclusively through the National Outbreak Reporting System, a web-based platform. This report characterizes waterborne disease outbreaks associated with splash pads reported to CDC that occurred during 1997-2022. Results: During 1997-2022, public health officials from 23 states and Puerto Rico reported 60 waterborne disease outbreaks associated with splash pads. These reported outbreaks resulted in 10,611 cases, 152 hospitalizations, 99 emergency department visits, and no reported deaths. The 40 (67%) outbreaks confirmed to be caused, in part, by Cryptosporidium resulted in 9,622 (91%) cases and 123 (81%) hospitalizations. Two outbreaks suspected to be caused by norovirus resulted in 72 (73%) emergency department visits. Interpretation: Waterborne pathogens that cause acute gastrointestinal illness can be transmitted by ingesting water contaminated with feces from infected persons. Chlorine is the primary barrier to pathogen transmission in splash pad water. However, Cryptosporidium is tolerant to chlorine and is the most common cause of reported waterborne disease outbreaks associated with splash pads. Public Health Action: Public health officials and the aquatics sector can use the findings in this report to promote the prevention of splash pad--associated outbreaks (e.g., recommended user behaviors) and guide the construction, operation, and management of splash pads. Public health practitioners and the aquatics sector also can collaborate to voluntarily adopt CDC's Model Aquatic Health Code recommendations to prevent waterborne illness associated with splash pads.
