Outstanding!!

Just this.... shows how safe it is considered and how well it is regarded as an anti-bacteria/anti-virus substance. And so 'recent' - 2007.

"Here is a link to a study showing the safety of
propylene glycol as the carrier for inhaled
Cyclosporine, for lung transplant patients.
Propylene Glycol is used as a drug delivery system,
even for patients who have pulmonary complications
and whose lungs are compromised specifically
because of the germicidal and virucidal properties of
the substance."

I recently wrote on another thread on the topic of PG, and I think it's worth repeating here, at least for the links to relevant studies, if not for the color commentary

Even though PG has been demonstrated to have germicidal activity for air and hard surfaces, there is currently no evidence it may function the same way when administered internally.

However, PG has a long history of use as a carrier agent for inhaled medicine for example in lung transplant patients, and thus has an FDA-approved safety profile compatible with direct and long-term inhalation.

But glANTZ and his minions will be running around calling it a "chemical" in e-cigarettes it spite of its proven safety.
