Abstract Synopsis

  • The study found that electronic cigarette vapor contains several harmful chemicals, including potential carcinogens like glycidol and propylene oxide, with emission levels influenced by device type, voltage, and repeated use.
  • Increasing the voltage or reusing the device significantly boosts the release of toxic aldehydes like formaldehyde and acrolein due to thermal degradation of ingredients such as glycerin and propylene glycol (PG).
  • Overall, harmful emissions are common in e-cigarette vapor because they mainly result from reactions of typical eliquid ingredients, posing health risks for users and those around them.]
