Evaluation of Electronic Cigarette Liquids and Aerosol for the Presence of Selected Inhalation Toxins
Resource Notes:
Abstract Conclusions: DA and AP were found in a large proportion of sweet-flavored EC liquids, with many of them exposing users to higher than safety levels. Their presence in EC liquids represents an avoidable risk. Proper measures should be taken by EC liquid manufacturers and flavoring suppliers to eliminate these hazards from the products without necessarily limiting the availability of sweet flavors.
Controversies:
None to date.
