Adding to an already bleak string of news about vaping, new research finds a variety of dangerous heavy metals in the aerosols of popular tank-style e-cigarettes.
It’s been a rough year for the vaping industry. What began as a purportedly less harmful replacement for combustible cigarettes has become the focus of investigations into everything from lung disorders to fatalities. And now a newhas found concentrations of dangerous heavy metals like lead and copper in vapors produced by some types of tank-style e-cigarettes.
Researchers examined six popular tank-style electronic cigarettes and screened their aerosols for 19 metals. They found the aerosols from all of the e-cigs contained some of the metals, which appeared to originate in the atomizing units. Some of the metals found in this study have notorious rap sheets. Chromium, lead, and nickel are known carcinogens. Prolonged exposure to lead can also trigger cardiovascular problems, and it’s a potential catalyst of brain disorders affecting memory, processing speed and learning ability.
