Consequently, these young people often come into residential care with complex needs and entrenched emotional and behavioural difficulties. Coplacement …
Model Predictions of Occupational Exposures to Diacetyl and 2,3-Pentanedione Emitted From Roasted Whole Bean and Ground Coffee: Influence of Roast Level and Physical Form on Specific Emission Rates
Open AccessRyan F LeBouf, Anand Ranpara et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2022

Effect of Puffing Behavior on Particle Size Distributions and Respiratory Depositions From Pod-Style Electronic Cigarette, or Vaping, Products
Open AccessAnand Ranpara, Aleksandr B Stefaniak et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2021
The current fourth generation (“pod-style”) electronic cigarette, or vaping, products (EVPs) heat a liquid (“e-liquid”) contained in a reservoir (“pod”) using a battery-powered coil to deliver aerosol into the lungs. A portion of inhaled EVP aerosol is estimated as exhaled, which can present a potential secondhand exposure risk to bystanders. The effects of modifiable factors using either a prefilled disposable or refillable pod-style EVPs on aer…
