Ok, sorry for the triple post, I'm going to delve into this. Heres the full statement I cut off from above:
(PLEASE READ ABOVE POST FIRST)
Statement 1:
"The aerosol contained particles >1 µm comprised of tin, silver, iron, nickel, aluminum, and silicate and nanoparticles (<100 nm) of tin, chromium and nickel."
a) This was the contents of the AEROSOL, not the e cigarette vapor.... This doesn't cite how much aerosol is in the vapor that I could find meaning even with these insanely small measurements, it could be way smaller depending on how much aerosol is really in the vapor.
b) Again, like above post, µm means 10^-6, prefix for micro, so it means greater than .000001 (units of measurements used)... but since they didnt say >2 µm that means less than .000002 (units of measurement used)'s... That amount doesn't scare me.
c) The tin, chromium and nickel was less than .1 OF A MICROMETER, or the measurement listed above (.000001).... These measurements don't even seem valid because they are so small. And again, we have no clue how diluted these measurements get because they didn't state the aerosol to vapor ratio, or amount, whatever. You get the point.
Statement 2:
"The concentrations of nine of eleven elements in EC aerosol were higher than or equal to the corresponding concentrations in conventional cigarette smoke."
a) These are not the things we are worried about inhaling when we smoke cigarrettes.
b) With respect to what I said above, its funny because although there are more serious things to worry about in cigarrettes, the statement 2 blatantly admits that 19 percent or 3 of those elements are STILL higher in normal cigarrettes EVEN THOUGH they aren't the focus of cigarette worries... What a joke...
I could be completely wrong about this, I'm only 19. But based on what I know, I have enough confidence in myself to say none of that BS scares me with what I've said in mind.
