Journal ArticleDOI
Thirdhand Tobacco Smoke: Emerging Evidence and Arguments for a Multidisciplinary Research Agenda
Georg E. Matt,Penelope J.E. Quintana,Hugo Destaillats,Lara A. Gundel,Mohamad Sleiman,Brett C. Singer,Peyton Jacob,Neal L. Benowitz,Jonathan P. Winickoff,Virender K. Rehan,Prue Talbot,Suzaynn F. Schick,Jonathan M. Samet,Yinsheng Wang,Bo Hang,Manuela Martins-Green,James F. Pankow,Melbourne F. Hovell +17 more
TL;DR: The existing evidence on thirdhand smoke (THS) provides strong support for pursuing a programmatic research agenda to close gaps in current understanding of the chemistry, exposure, toxicology, and health effects of THS, as well as its behavioral, economic, and sociocultural considerations and consequences.
Journal ArticleDOI
Formation of carcinogens indoors by surface-mediated reactions of nicotine with nitrous acid, leading to potential thirdhand smoke hazards
Mohamad Sleiman,Lara A. Gundel,James F. Pankow,Peyton Jacob,Brett C. Singer,Hugo Destaillats +5 more
TL;DR: It is shown that residual nicotine from tobacco smoke sorbed to indoor surfaces reacts with ambient nitrous acid (HONO) to form carcinogenic tobacco-specific nitrosamines (TSNAs), which represents an unappreciated health hazard through dermal exposure, dust inhalation, and ingestion.
Journal ArticleDOI
Emissions from Electronic Cigarettes: Key Parameters Affecting the Release of Harmful Chemicals
Mohamad Sleiman,Mohamad Sleiman,Mohamad Sleiman,Jennifer M. Logue,V. Nahuel Montesinos,Marion L. Russell,Marta I. Litter,Marta I. Litter,Lara A. Gundel,Hugo Destaillats +9 more
TL;DR: Findings suggest that thermal degradation byproducts are formed during vapor generation when e-cigarette vapor is present, and Glycidol and acrolein were primarily produced by glycerin degradation.
Journal ArticleDOI
The relationship between optical attenuation and black carbon concentration for ambient and source particles
TL;DR: In this article, the attenuation attenuation (ATN) of visible light as it passes through filter samples was measured for a large number of solvent-extracted source and ambient particle samples using temperature-programmed evolved gas analysis with continuous light attenuation measurement.
Journal ArticleDOI
Direct Determination of the Phase Distributions of Semi-Volatile Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons Using Annular Denuders
TL;DR: The integrated organic vapor/particle sampler (IOVPS) as discussed by the authors uses a cyclone inlet for removal of particles greater than 2.5 μm (D50) from the airstream, followed by two or three sandblasted glass annular denuders coated with ground particles of an adsorbent resin.
