In a pair of electronic cigarettes have found a substance that can cause cancer

A recent study certainly make veyperov begin to worry: paired electronic cigarettes have found substances that trigger the development of cancer. Can I continue to believe fairy tales about the safety guy?

Scientists Lawrence National Laboratory in Berkeley, conducted a study in which We used two different models of electronic cigarettes and change the battery settings to study the composition couple.

It has been found that in a pair contains malware connection 31, two of which provoke cancer.

The fact that these substances are in a pair of electronic cigarettes, did not know before. Perhaps because e-cigarettes - a relatively new phenomenon, and more poorly understood compared to conventional tobacco.

It is known that the amount of harmful substances in the pair depends on the temperature at which evaporation takes place. The stronger the heated coil in the electronic cigarette, the more harmful substances is paired. If the device is equipped with two spirals, the concentration of chemical compounds falls. Perhaps this is due to a better distribution of the heat between the two spirals. They do not overheat and evaporate liquid incense in the lower temperatures.

Previously, scientists have warned about the harmful substances contained in electronic cigarettes. So, in 2009, some of which it has been detected diethylene glycol, which is used in the manufacture of antifreeze. In 2015-m in some liquids smoking found formaldehyde - another carcinogen. This substance is also fixed in a couple of e-cigarettes.

Another experiment showed that the electronic cigarette one coil at a voltage of 3.8 V releases 0.46 mg acrolein - toxic to humans substances, irritating the eyes and Airways. This value is stable to the first five puffs, while the spiral is heated. But when it is red-hot, the amount of acrolein in the pair sharply to 8.7 micrograms per puff. Of course, this is still significantly less than in a conventional cigarette (where the number reaches 400-650 mg acrolein, and from the electronic cigarette you can get a maximum of 100 mg for the same 20 puffs).

Destaylats Hugo (Hugo Destaillats), researcher and co-author of the resonant opening, said:

electronic cigarette advocates say that the amount of harmful chemicals in them are much lower than in a conventional cigarette, so it's best to switch to e-cigarettes. Maybe this is true for heavy smokers who can not quit, but it does not mean that e-cigarettes - it's great. Regular cigarettes are very dangerous. Electronic cigarettes are simply dangerous.

The amount of chemical compounds in the pair depends on the voltage in the battery cigarette: the higher it is, the higher the temperature of the heating spiral and the more carcinogens flagged pairs.

Also, the concentration depends on the lifetime of the electronic cigarette. The longer it is used, the higher the level of formaldehyde, acetaldehyde and acrolein (all three - carcinogens). This is because the chemicals accumulate in the spiral or near it. This residue will sooner or later also will heat up, and then the pair would be even more harmful substances.

Thus, the results of this study once again proves that electronic cigarettes need to be studied. Not only to be aware of the dangers of the smoking, but also to manufacturers of e-cigarettes and smoking liquids can create less harmful products.
