Emerging Chemicals of Health Concern in Electronic Nicotine Delivery Systems [PDF]

Chemical Research in Toxicology, 2020
Electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS), by virtue of their highly engineered construction (plastics, glass, e-liquids), may contain a number of emerging chemicals of concern (ECCs), including phthalates, phenolic compounds, and flame retardants. Current knowledge regarding the safety of ENDS may underestimate the health risks from ECCs.
