Die Dämpfe einer E-Zigarette belasten die Raumluft weniger als die einer Tabakzigarette (18.04.2020)

Die Forscher um Joseph Savdie haben am 18. April 2020 eine Studie veröffentlicht, die belegt, dass unter Real-Bedingungen die “Abgase” einer E-Zigarette wesentlich geringer sind als die einer Pyro. Die Studie wurde unter dem Titel:  Passive Exposure to Pollutants from a New Generation of Cigarettes in Real Life Scenarios    veröffentlicht.

4. Conclusions

Although traditional tobacco smoking has been in decline since the 1980s, newer generations of NDS have been steadily increasing in popularity ever since they were introduced into the market in 2013. This accelerated growth, together with their recent appearance, has led to an impendent need for studies to be developed measuring the effects of such.
The present study allowed the evaluation of the concentrations of smoke pollutants, more specifically, the particulate matter and gases originating from different types of NDS in real life scenarios where smoking is still common among electronic nicotine delivery systems users, which consider these a safer option than TCs.
The results showed that although the levels of pollutants emitted by e-cigarettes and HNBT are substantially lower compared to those from TCs, the new smoking devices are still a source of indoor air pollutants. All smoking options are avoidable sources of indoor pollutants, and to protect the health of smokers and non-smokers, they should not be used in homes and cars.
The presented results pertain to a single brand of HNBT and specific brands of e-cigarettes and may not represent the possible variability among different brands or manufacturers. Additionally, the configurations of the equipment as well as the e-liquid charges used for each e-cigarette may not represent other brands or configurations of these devices.
