A volume in the Emerging Issues in Analytical Chemistry series,
Analytical Assessment of E-Cigarettes: From Contents to Chemical
and Particle Exposure Profiles addresses the many issues
surrounding electronic cigarettes in an unprecedented level of
scientific detail. The plethora of product devices, formulations,
and flavors, combined with the lack of industry standards and
labeling requirements, quality control, and limited product
oversight, has given rise to public concern about initiation of use
and potential for adverse exposure and negative long-term health
outcomes. This volume discusses how analytical methods can address
these issues and support the manufacturing, labeling, distribution,
testing, regulation, and monitoring for consistency of products
with known chemical content and demonstrated performance
characteristics. The book begins with the background on aerosol
drug delivery services and e-cigarettes, constituents of
nicotine-containing liquid dosing formulations, typical use
scenarios and associated aerosol emissions, and chemical exposures
and pharmacological and toxicological effect profiles, and then
continues with descriptions of the analytical methods used to
characterize the chemicals in formulations and emissions from
e-cigarettes, including their stability, physical particle-size
distribution and thermal degradation under commonly employed
conditions of use. Analytical methods enabling detection of
biomarkers of exposure and harm in complex biological matrices are
discussed, with an emphasis on constituents or emissions of current
medicinal interest or with potential to produce harm. Opportunities
and challenges for analytical chemistry in supporting the continued
development and use of safe and consistent dosage formulations as
alternatives to tobacco products are also explored, with a
concluding section describing an analytical approach to a
risk-benefit assessment of e-cigarette use on human health. The
Emerging Issues in Analytical Chemistry series is published in
partnership with RTI International and edited by Brian F. Thomas.
