3.3. Steam stone smoke aerosol droplets
The objective of the experiment was to perform metal analysis on a
large number of metals, focusing on identification and quantification of
any toxic metals present in steam stone mainstream smoke. This was
accomplished by performing 30 minute simulated smoking sessions
with both brands of steam stones vaporized by two charcoal brands
and e-charcoal. In these final sections, we highlight interesting results
which examine differences in traditional charcoal brands. Additionally,
we compare these traditional charcoal products to an electronic charcoal
source to assess whether such a product might be used to limit exposure
to toxic metals.
