Study finds teenage vapers exposed to toxic metals like lead, uranium, and cadmium, with sweet-flavored vapes having higher uranium levels.
A study suggests that teenage vapers may be exposed to toxic metals such as lead, uranium, and cadmium, which could harm their brain and organ development. The research analyzed the urine samples of participants who vaped frequently, intermittently, or occasionally, and found that those who used sweet-flavored vapes had higher uranium levels compared to those who preferred menthol or mint. The study's authors call for further research, regulation, and targeted public health interventions to mitigate the potential harms of e-cigarette use, particularly among adolescents.
