===2018: [http://www.ecigarette-research.org/research/index.php/research/2018/262-flavors Paper: E-cigarette flavors and aldehyde emissions: another failure to verify findings from a previous study]=== | |||
**Our results were revealing in identifying a very small contribution of flavorings on aldehyde emissions. In fact, '''aldehyde levels were so low that consumption of 5 grams e-liquid per day would expose vapers to less formaldehyde and acetaldehyde than just staying at home and breathing air'''. For acrolein, exposure was orders of magnitude lower compared to NIOSH-defined recommended safety limits. To give you an idea of the differences in results, the authors of the original study found up to 7000 ug/g formaldehyde, while we found a maximum of 62 ug/g. | |||
*2017: Study: [https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0278691518301339?via%3Dihub Do flavouring compounds contribute to aldehyde emissions in e-cigarettes?] | |||
**In conclusion, we confirmed that flavouring compounds can contribute to aldehyde emissions from ECs, but such contribution, detected in only 3 liquids and two flavours herein, was minimal. (flavor, flavors, flavoring, flavorings) | |||
