Conclusion: Due to the
associations between diacetyl, bronchiolitis obliterans and other severe respiratory
diseases observed in workers, urgent action is recommended to further evaluate this potentially widespread exposure via flavored e-cigarettes.
Associations are speculative at this point. CDC rulings not Science studies, for limits or Dangers.
diseases observed in workers - Not Quantified as a Cause, simply an assumption as to cause.
I.E. Was it the POWDERED Diacetyl in use, a composite of Chemicals included with Diacetyl or a Lifestyle/Genetic combination of events?
No Smokers have been reported with Popcorn lung caused by Diacetyl in cigarettes
No Vapers have been reported with Popcorn lung
* Children having never done either have been Diagnosed with bronchiolitis obliterans(Popcorn Lung) Long before
vaping existed or Microwave popcorn was available.
Diketones MAY be a Problem, however at this point it is a Discussion/Debate and some Fear Mongering when actual Scientific studies should have long since been started to come to some TRUE conclusion.
I have no dog in this hunt, but people should be honest about where all information comes from and how it is collected.
