• • 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: 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)

  • We would like to point out that the finding is in a stark contrast to previous results.
  • The high levels only happen under dry puff conditions, something avoided by vapers as it is very unpleasant.
