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.

Sobre pesquisa em ação:
A equipe de avaliação e pesquisa da CADCA convida você a participar de nossa série de webinars bimensais Conversations: Putting Research into Action — a ponte entre a pesquisa acadêmica e os esforços diários de coalizão. Ao longo do ano, moderamos conversas ao vivo com especialistas em prevenção do uso indevido de substâncias e membros da coalizão participantes. Esta é sua oportunidade de aprender sobre as pesquisas mais recentes e suas implicações para o trabalho de coalizão e fazer perguntas pertinentes a especialistas em suas áreas. Acesse a lista de reprodução completa do Research Into Action.
Por favor entre em contato avaliação@cadca.org com qualquer dúvida sobre esta série de webinars.
