Highly reactive free radicals in electronic cigarette aerosols.
Electronic cigarette (EC) usage has increased exponentially, but limited data are available on its potential harmful effects. We tested for the presence of reactive, short-lived free radicals in EC aerosols by electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy (EPR) using the spin-trap phenyl-N-tert-butylnitrone (PBN). Radicals were detected in aerosols from all ECs and eliquids tested (2.5 × 10(13) ...
متن کاملAldehyde Detection in Electronic Cigarette Aerosols
Acetaldehyde, acrolein, and formaldehyde are the principal toxic aldehydes present in cigarette smoke and contribute to the risk of cardiovascular disease and noncancerous pulmonary disease. The rapid growth of the use of electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) has raised concerns over emissions of these harmful aldehydes. This work determines emissions of these aldehydes in both free and bound (a...
متن کاملInvestigation of Free Radicals in Cigarette Mainstream Smoke
Electron Paramagnetic Resonance spectroscopy (EPR) coupled with spin trapping methodology has been used to study the formation of free radicals in mainstream cigarette smoke. Kentucky reference cigarettes (2R4F) were smoked using a 20-port smok ing machine (Borgwaldt-kc) under ISO smoking conditions. Free radicals in both particulate phase and gas phase smoke were analysed. Short-lived Cand O-...
متن کاملCigarette smoke radicals and the role of free radicals in chemical carcinogenicity.
This article consists of two parts: a brief overview of the ways in which free radicals can be involved in chemical carcinogenesis, and a review of cigarette smoke chemistry. Carcinogenesis is generally agreed to involve at least three stages: initiation, promotion, and progression. It is suggested that radicals sometimes are involved in the initiation step, either in the oxidative activation o...
متن کاملFree Radicals and other reactive species in Disease
Free radicals can be generated in a wide variety of chemical and biological systems, including the formation of plastics, the ageing of paints, the combustion of fuels and in the human body. In living organisms, the levels of free radicals and other ‘reactive species’ are controlled by a complex web of antioxidant defences, which minimize (but do not completely prevent) oxidative damage to biom...
