Effects of alcoholic solvents on particle size distribution of e-cigarette aerosol
The aim of this study is to compare particle size distribution (PSD) of electronic cigarettes (E-cigarette) aerosol with different alcoholic solvents, including alcohol, n-propanol, n-butanol, ethylene glycol, 1,2-propylene glycol, 1,2-butanediol, glycerol, 1,2,4-butanetriol, polyethylene glycol 200...
