Azimi P, Keshavarz Z, Luna ML, et al. An Unrecognized Hazard in E-Cigarette Vapor: Preliminary Quantification of Methylglyoxal Formation from Propylene Glycol in E-Cigarettes. Int J Environ Res Public Health. 2021 Jan 6;18(2): E385.“We analyzed chemical emissions from 13 JUUL pod flavors. Diacetyl and methylglyoxal were detected in 100% of samples…. The recent evidence that methylglyoxal is more cytotoxic to airway epithelial cells than diacetyl makes this an urgent public health concern.”
