Abstract
Despite the growing popularity of electronic cigarettes, relatively little work has been done to characterize their aerosols. In this study, we developed a quick, simple device for sampling electronic cigarette aerosol onto thermal desorption tubes. This novel sampling approach--paired with an Rtx®- VMS column and GC-MS analysis--provides detectable levels OF volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and semivolatile organic compounds (SVOCs) from a single 40 mL puff.
