assessment of novel tobacco heating product ThP1.0. Part 3: Comprehensive chemical characterisation of harmful and potentially harmful aerosol emissions

The document in question is a research article related to a study on the toxicants found in e-cigarette aerosols, with a focus on the levels of certain harmful chemicals present in these aerosols. The study was conducted by British american Tobacco (Investments) Ltd., with analytical data provided by Labstat International ULC.

The article notes that the study was conducted in response to new regulations in the EU and USa regarding e-cigarettes, which were implemented in 2016. These regulations required the analysis of 29 specific toxicants in e-cigarette products.

The study found that the levels of most toxicants measured in e-cigarette aerosols were significantly lower than those found in smoke from traditional cigarettes. Specifically, the article provides data on the levels of isoprene, acrylonitrile, benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and ethylene oxide present in e-cigarette aerosols.

It's worth noting that the study has some limitations, such as the fact that it only analyzed a limited number of e-cigarette products, and that the study did not account for variations in user behavior or e-cigarette device settings.

Overall, the document suggests that e-cigarette aerosols contain lower levels of harmful toxicants than traditional cigarette smoke, but that further research is needed to fully understand the potential health impacts of e-cigarette use.
