(8 months ago)A study by the University of California, Riverside, shows that two toxic, methylglyoxal, and acetaldehyde chemicals can be formed during the heating of electronic cigarette fluids and damage respiratory cells. lab experiments showed methylglyoxal, even in small quantities, intervenes in the machine and weakens the cell frame, causing stress and damage [...]
lab experiments showed that methylglyoxal, even in small quantities, intervenes in the machine and weakens the cell skeleton, causing stress and damage that can contribute to long-term health problems, writes MedicalXpress.
The study also warns that equipment with lower power -- often considered safer -- can produce more methylglyoxal.
Researchers underline the need for deeper assessments of the safety of electronic cigarette products and public awareness of possible risks. /Periscope/
