Acrolein Levels in e-Cigarettes-Letter.

چکیده
The recent paper by McRobbie et al. (1) is the first prospective study addressing toxicological exposure directly in e-cigarettes (ECs) users. This study adds key information about harm potential of e-vapour products and gets away from the controversial toxicological findings that have been generated in recent laboratories studies because of experimental protocols that do not mimic realistic condition of use (2). Given that the debate over the potential benefits and harms of ECs remains unproductive (3), it is imperative to shift toxicological evaluation directly into the human body.

Method for the Determination of Carbonyl Compounds in E-Cigarette Aerosols
Low levels of thermal degradation products such as carbonyls (formaldehyde, acetaldehyde, acrolein, crotonaldehyde) have been reported in e-cigarette aerosols. The collection and analysis of e-cigarette aerosol carbonyls are often adapted from methods developed for tobacco cigarette smoke. These methodologies are often not sensitive enough to detect low carbonyl levels in e-cigarette aerosols. ...
متن کاملAldehyde Detection in Electronic Cigarette Aerosols
Acetaldehyde, acrolein, and formaldehyde are the principal toxic aldehydes present in cigarette smoke and contribute to the risk of cardiovascular disease and noncancerous pulmonary disease. The rapid growth of the use of electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) has raised concerns over emissions of these harmful aldehydes. This work determines emissions of these aldehydes in both free and bound (a...
متن کاملAdolescent Exposure to Toxic Volatile Organic Chemicals From E-Cigarettes.
BACKGROUND There is an urgent need to understand the safety of e-cigarettes with adolescents. We sought to identify the presence of chemical toxicants associated with e-cigarette use among adolescents. METHODS Adolescent e-cigarette users (≥1 use within the past 30 days, ≥10 lifetime e-cigarette use episodes) were divided into e-cigarette-only users (no cigarettes in the past 30 days, urine 4...
متن کاملCarbonyl Compounds Generated from Electronic Cigarettes
Electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) are advertised as being safer than tobacco cigarettes products as the chemical compounds inhaled from e-cigarettes are believed to be fewer and less toxic than those from tobacco cigarettes. Therefore, continuous careful monitoring and risk management of e-cigarettes should be implemented, with the aim of protecting and promoting public health worldwide. Mor...
متن کاملA Comparative Health Risk Assessment of Electronic Cigarettes and Conventional Cigarettes
Background: Although some studies have identified hazardous substances in electronic cigarette (EC) liquids and emissions, there is limited information about the health risks of using ECs. Methods: In this study, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) health risk assessment model and findings of a literature review were used to determine and profile hazards. Focus was put on the toxican...
