It's 22 pages. Very Technical.
Bottom line is that it is supportive of e-cig use to the extent:
[h=5]"By the standards of occupational hygiene, current data do not indicate that exposures to vapers from contaminants in electronic cigarettes warrant a concern."[/h]

I really like this statement that can be found on page 5.

"Comparison to cigarette smoke was not performed here because the fact that e-cigarette aerosol is at least orders of magnitude less contaminated by toxic compounds is uncontroversial [2-8]"

Very long but a good read, thanks for posting.
