Transfer of Metals to the Aerosol Generated by an Electronic Cigarette: Influence of Number of Puffs and Power
TL;DR: In this article , the authors quantify the potentially harmful heavy metals chromium, nickel, copper, and lead systematically during the simulated use of a mod-type e-cigarette in order to better understand the mechanism of metal transfer from the E-cigarette parts into the aerosol plume and into the liquid in the storage tank.

Metals, oxidative stress and neurodegenerative disorders
TL;DR: The role of redox metals Fe and Cu and non-redox metal zinc (Zn) in oxidative stress-related etiology of AD and PD is discussed and several individual antioxidants or their combinations can be neuroprotective and decrease the risk of AD or slow its progression.
