April 3, 2013 | Prof. Dr. Michael Siegel
Clear:
Maybe one or the other of 01 items Was found April 2013 read, in which involved a study of the "traces of metals in EZigarettendampf" are. The article has some comparisons were drawn to metal traces found in Nikotininhalatoren and partially the unfair and one-sided presentation of the study results:
[h=2]Scaremongering: metals found EZigarettendampf[/h]
Bill Godshall, chairman of the Independent Non smoking organization "Smoke Free Pennsylvania" has, Prof. Dr. Michael Siegel, the " USP standards send ". "USP" stands for "United States Pharmacopeial Convention" - this will include the maximum values ​​for certain substances in medicinal products. Medicines should therefore include these values ​​in the U.S. and there is no risk for the consumer. If one now compares the maximum allowable limits for inhalation drugs from the trial data clearly that the study has attempted only one thing: to create fear!
Williams et al. published that these quantities in a total of 10 "trains" were found in a cigarette:
Lead: 0.017 micro gram
copper: 0.203 micro gram
chromium: 0.007 micro gram
nickel: 0.005 micro gram
Since "10 trains" on a e-cigarette is approximately that of a tobacco cigarette, we can do some nice calculations. Let's assume that an average EZigarettenkonsument (steamer) would evaporate about 2 ml of liquid per day. The equivalent of the number of trains approximately one pack of cigarettes with 20 tobacco cigarettes.
then multiply all we have, the number of trains with the number of cigarettes and already we have the total number of pollutants that would be included on the day of a steamer.
So we should only oA take the data with 20 times and then comes up with:
Lead: 0.34 micro gram
copper: 4.06 micro gram
chromium: 0.14 micro gram
nickel: 0.1 micro-gram
And now let's look again at the USP standards ... The standards, which sets the maximum permissible dose for the materials / metals in inhalation drugs in the United States.According to the " United States Pharmacopeial Convention, Revision Bulletin, Elemental Impurities-Limits, February 1, 2013 "would be allowed in most inhalation drugs:
Lead: 5.0 micro gram
copper: 100 micro gram
chrome: 25 micro gram
nickel: 1.5 micro-gram
This now means that even a steamer, which consumes a lot of liquid (10 trains correspond to approximately 0.1 ml of liquid), could scarce 6ml Liquid consume a day and still do not have the number of metals inhales, the gem. the USP standards as "safe for inhalation drugs" apply.
If, therefore, according to the study by Williams et al. goes, one has to worry about than steamer nothing more than to be expected from inhalation drugs: they are as "safe"!
