Metal Concentrations in E-Cigarette Liquid and Aerosol Samples: The Contribution of Metallic Coils

Abstract

Background:

Electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) generate an aerosol by heating a solution (e-liquid) with a metallic coil. Whether metals are transferred from the coil to the aerosol is unknown.

Objective:

Our goal was to investigate the transfer of metals from the heating coil...
