Electronic Vapor Cigarette Battery Explosion Causing Shotgun-like Superficial Wounds and Contusion
INTRODUCTION Electronic vapor cigarettes (E-cigarettes) were created in 2003 as an alternative to traditional tobacco cigarettes. E-cigarettes have been available in the United States since 2006.1 The typical E-cigarette consists of a cartridge that contains liquid, an atomizer that heats the liquid (i.e. acts as a vaporizer), as well as a battery. The liquid contained within the cartridge cont...
متن کاملLithium Ion Battery Fire and Explosion
With the extensive applications of lithium ion batteries, many batteries fire and explosion accidents were reported. Base on the combustion triangle theory, the combustion triangle contributions of lithium ion battery were analysed. By using C80 micro calorimeter, the thermal behavior studies on the materials show that the flammable electrolyte, oxygen generated by charged cathode and anode dec...
متن کاملOccluded Cigarette Smoke Exposure Causing Localized Chloracne-Like Comedones.
Many environmental acne disorders, including chloracne and oil acne, were previously thought to occur predominantly in occupational settings following polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon exposure. Cigarette smoke has also been shown to contain a large number of these toxic polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon components and strictly correlates with noninflammatory acneiform lesion development in postado...
متن کاملCarbonyl compounds in electronic cigarette vapors: effects of nicotine solvent and battery output voltage.
INTRODUCTION Glycerin (VG) and propylene glycol (PG) are the most common nicotine solvents used in e-cigarettes (ECs). It has been shown that at high temperatures both VG and PG undergo decomposition to low molecular carbonyl compounds, including the carcinogens formaldehyde and acetaldehyde. The aim of this study was to evaluate how various product characteristics, including nicotine solvent a...
متن کاملCytotoxicity evaluation of electronic cigarette vapor extract on cultured mammalian fibroblasts (ClearStream-LIFE): comparison with tobacco cigarette smoke extract.
CONTEXT Electronic cigarettes (ECs) are used as alternatives to smoking; however, data on their cytotoxic potential are scarce. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the cytotoxic potential of 21 EC liquids compared to the effects of cigarette smoke (CS). METHODS Cytotoxicity was evaluated according to UNI EN ISO 10993-5 standard. By activating an EC device, 200 mg of liquid was evaporated and was extracte...
