Wednesday, June 20, 2018 – Dr. Ana Rule discussed her article entitled “Metal Concentrations in e-Cigarette Liquid and Aerosol Samples: The Contribution of Metallic Coils”, published in February 2018 in Environmental Health Perspectives. Dr. Rule’s article presents her and her colleagues’ findings regarding e-cigarettes as a source of exposure to toxic metals when the heating coil comes into contact with the e-liquid in the e-cigarette tank. The researchers found higher concentrations of toxic metals in samples of aerosol and e-liquid in the tank than in a sample from the refilling dispenser, indicating that contact with the metal coil induced e-liquid contamination. Dr. Rule also discussed the implications of this research for future FDA regulation of e-cigarettes.

À propos de la recherche en action :
L'équipe d'évaluation et de recherche de CADCA vous invite à vous joindre à notre série de webinaires bimensuels Conversations : Mettre la recherche en action - le pont entre la recherche universitaire et les efforts quotidiens de la coalition. Tout au long de l'année, nous animons des conversations en direct avec des experts en prévention de l'abus de substances et des membres de la coalition participante. C'est l'occasion pour vous d'en savoir plus sur les dernières recherches et leurs implications pour le travail de la coalition et de poser des questions pertinentes à des experts dans leurs domaines. Accédez à la liste de lecture complète de Research Into Action.
