    Indoor exposure to air pollutants may occur in both private and public indoor environments, including homes, offices, schools, hospitals and transport systems. IAQ is affected by toxic gases (such as carbon monoxide [CO] and nitrogen oxides [NOx]), volatile organic compounds (VOCs, such as formaldehyde, benzene, toluene, styrene), pesticides, lead, flame retardants, respirable particles and dust, smoking (secondhand and third-hand), various biological pollutants (such as mold and bacteria), and physical contaminants (radiation, electromagnetic radiation, and asbestos).

Out of the 42 identified chemicals, there are certain ones that are especially harmful such as acetaldehyde, acetone, cadmium, lead, and nicotine (Harmful Chemicals in Electronic Cigarettes).

    If you receive your news and information from traditional sources of media, such as television or newspapers, then you have more than likely seen a story similar to “Electronic Cigarette Disaster: Child Wounded” or “Electronic Cigarettes Are Targeting Our Children.” News channels, such as Fox News, capitalize on the rare instances of device malfunctions, which result in minor explosions, and cherry-pick the scientific studies that agree with their opinion on electronic cigarettes. However, there is still a relatively small amount of information on the effects of inhaling propylene glycol, nicotine, polyethylene glycol, and vegetable glycerine, which are the main components of the inhalant of electronic cigarettes. While there is reason to be cautious of this relatively new product, it does have its benefits over traditional cigarettes.…
