Aromakonzentrationen in der E-Zigarette sind ungiftig bis auf eine Ausnahme (19.07.2019)

Am 19.07.2019 veröffentlichte Konstantinos Farsalinos die Studie: Toxicity classification of e-cigarette flavouring compounds based on European Union regulation: analysis of findings from a recent study  . In ihr stellte er fest, dass die Aromakonzentrationen im Ganzen weit entfernt von der Definition: giftig sind. Wir erinnern uns an den Satz des Paracelsus:„Die Menge macht das Gift!“ Lediglich der Aromastoff Cycloten fiel dabei negativ auf. Wenn also Aromastoffe reguliert werden, sollten, dann bitte an dieser Stelle. Denn schließlich wollen wir alle keine Aromen oder Liquids die unsere Gesundheit schädigen. Wir dampfen ja, weil es weniger schädlich als das Rauchen ist.

Result

There was at least one toxicity classification for all the flavouring chemicals, with the most prevalent classifications related to skin, oral, eye and respiratory toxicities. One chemical (methyl cyclopentenolone Anmerkung der Autorin: in Deutschland bekannt unter: Cycloten) was found at a maximum concentration 150.7% higher than that needed to be classified as toxic. For the rest, the maximum reported concentrations were 71.6 to > 99.9% lower than toxicity concentrations. A liquid containing all flavouring compounds at the maximum concentrations would be classified as toxic for one category only due to the presence of methyl cyclopentenolone; a liquid without methyl cyclopentenolone would have 66.7 to > 99.9% lower concentrations of flavourings than those needed to be classified as toxic.

Conclusions

The vast majority of flavouring compounds in e-cigarette liquids as reported in a recent study were present at levels far lower than needed to classify them as toxic. Since exceptions exist, regulatory monitoring of liquid composition is warranted.
