Certain ENDS are reusable, tanks are refilled and atomisers changed when required. Although there are many published studies describing emissions of ENDS, the majority do not make assessments following multiple refills and it is not known if user...

The processes of the thermal oxidative destruction of e-liquid components play a key role in the appearance of undesirable products in aerosols generated by electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS). The objective of the present studies is to...

Electronic cigarette (e-cigarette) formulations typically contain tobacco derived nicotine and therefore, may contain other tobacco related components such as trace levels of tobacco specific nitrosamines (TSNAs), nitrite, and minor alkaloids....

The formation of carbonyl compounds in electronic cigarette (e-cigarette) aerosols from thermal decomposition processes has been well established in the literature. These thermal decomposition products are thought to originate from the primary...

Cellulose acetate (CA) as it is used for cigarette filters is known to be biodegradable, although more slowly than fast degrading materials like cellulose. Nevertheless, there is still controversial communication about the biodegradability...

A capsule is a widely used flavour carrier in cigarettes. It is a very effective tool to deliver menthol and other flavours to mainstream tobacco smoke. Even though menthol will be banned in EU from 2020, capsule cigarettes are still very popular in...

A CFD model for the smoke flow in grooved filter was developed to study the flow field distribution in grooved filter and the ratio of cigarette smoke outflowing from the grooves (the proportion of amount of smoke outflowing from grooves in relation...

A liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) method was developed to simultaneously determine eight carbonyl compounds (formaldehyde, acetaldehyde, acetone, acrolein, propionaldehyde, crotonaldehyde, 2-butanone, butyraldehyde) in...

Samples analysed by ICP-MS are typically subjected to a mineralisation/oxidation process to completely dissolve all elements. Therefore, samples are digested using an acid matrix in a block digestor or microwave. During this process, the organic...
