TSRC, Tob. Sci. Res. Conf., 2023, 76, Intro (Symposium ENDS)
Symposium Panel: Assessment of ENDS ingredients
Juul Labs, Inc., Washington, DC, USA
The workshop combined six presentations illustrating different approaches and aspects o the assessment of ENDS ingredients with a 30-minute panel discussion where presenters will answer questions/discuss topics from the workshop participants. The six presentations not only described traditional toxicological approaches to ENDS ingredient evaluation (e.g., toxicological literature review, ingredient thermal degradation analysis, in vitro, in vivo testing) including advanced read across techniques, but several also encompassed toxicology relevant new assessment methods. These new assessment methods include in vitro assays for assessment of respiratory sensitization, use of more realistic 3D tissue constructs and aerosol delivery systems.
