<h3>Significance</h3> Electronic cigarettes, also known as e-cigarettes, are devices designed to imitate regular cigarettes and deliver nicotine via inhalation without combusting tobacco. They purported other toxicants be a safer alternative cigarettes. However, little toxicity testing has been performed evaluate the chemical nature of vapour generated from e–cigarettes. The aim this study was screen e-cigarette vapours for content four groups potentially toxic carcinogenic compounds:...
Glycerin (VG) and propylene glycol (PG) are the most common nicotine solvents used in e-cigarettes (ECs). It has been shown that at high temperatures both VG PG undergo decomposition to low molecular carbonyl compounds, including carcinogens formaldehyde acetaldehyde. The aim of this study was evaluate how various product characteristics, solvent battery output voltage, affect levels carbonyls EC vapor.Twelve compounds were measured vapors from 10 commercially available solutions 3 control...
Electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) are designed to generate inhalable nicotine aerosol (vapor). When an e-cigarette user takes a puff, the solution is heated and vapor taken into lungs. Although no sidestream generated between puffs, some of mainstream exhaled by user. The aim this study was evaluate secondhand exposure other tobacco-related toxicants from e-cigarettes.We measured selected airborne markers exposure: nicotine, particles (PM(2.5)), carbon monoxide, volatile organic compounds...
Abstract 4-(Methylnitrosamino)-1-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanol (NNAL) is tobacco specific and has a longer half-life than other biomarkers studied thus far. An accurate measurement of the NNAL important for optimal use to assess exposure smoke. We determined in urine eight daily smokers on clinical research ward five occasional real-life environment. Total was monitored 14 days after stopping smoking up 60 smokers. The average terminal phase smoker group using two-compartmental body model 10.3 (beta...
Cotinine is the most widely used biomarker to distinguish active versus passive smoking. However, there an overlap in cotinine levels when comparing light or occasional smokers heavily exposed smokers. 4-(methylnitrosamino)-1-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanol (NNAL) a tobacco-specific nitrosamine measurable urine with much longer half-life than cotinine. The aim of study was determine optimal cutoff points discriminate and compare sensitivity specificity for use cotinine, NNAL, ratio NNAL/cotinine...
An objective assessment of exposure to tobacco smoke may be accomplished by means examining particular biomarkers in body fluids. The most common biomarker is urinary, or serum, cotinine. In order distinguish non-smokers from passive smokers and active smokers, it necessary estimate cotinine cut-off points. this article was apply statistical distribution urinary concentration points distinguishing the three above-mentioned groups. examined group consisted 327 volunteers (187 women 140 men)...
The influence of fatty acid methyl esters (FAME) and hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO) diesel blends on the exhaust emissions from a passenger car was examined. impact FAME for cold urban phase (UDC) increased CO HC emissions, probably due to blend physical properties promoting incomplete combustion. HVO caused lowest UDC. NOx did not change significantly with fuel used, however UDC characterized by lower emission blends. Particle were highest standard diesel. Emissions carbonyl compounds as...
Abstract Introduction Electronic cigarettes (ECs) seem to be a less harmful alternative for conventional cigarettes. This study aimed assess whether the generated aerosols from ECs contain lower amount of cadmium (Cd) and lead (Pb) than cigarette smoke detect any changes in exposure Cd Pb among smokers who switched completely or partially EC. Methods EC were generated, determination trapped samples e-liquids was performed by electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry method. A...
This study was aimed at evaluation of changes in activities selected antioxidant enzymes (superoxide dismutase, catalase, glutathione peroxidase, and reductase) contents key nonenzymatic antioxidants (glutathione, protein thiol groups, α- γ-tocopherols) the left heart ventricle young male Wistar rats subjected to endurance training (treadmill running, 1 h daily, 5 days a week, for 6 weeks) or/and testosterone propionate treatment (8 or 80 mg/kg body weight, intramuscularly, once during...
Tobacco smoking, especially conventional cigarettes, is widespread throughout the world. Simultaneously, there a growing interest in new alternative products that allow delivering nicotine to users' organisms, including electronic cigarettes and heat-not-burn tobacco products. However, are few scientific reports regarding effect of waste generated from above-mentioned on microorganisms. The aim manuscript was investigate influence substances leached cigarette butts, butts products,...
