Manaʻo ka nui o ka poʻe e ʻoi aku ka palekana o ka vaping ke hoʻohālikelike ʻia me nā huahana paka ʻē aʻe. ʻO kēia ke kumu nui i kaulana loa ai nā huahana vaping i waena o nā ʻōpio i kēia mau lā. Ua kaulana nā huahana vaping i nā manawa i hala ma waena o nā mea puhi puhi e like me nā mea hana hoʻopau. Ua loaʻa iā lākou ka traction ma waena o nā mea hoʻohana i ka lāʻau lapaʻau i hoʻohana ʻia ma ke ʻano he mea lapaʻau.
Eia nō naʻe, nui nā haʻawina hou e hōʻike ana ʻaʻole palekana nā huahana vaping i ʻike ʻia he electronic nicotine delivery system (ENDS) e like me ka nui o ka poʻe e manaʻoʻiʻo. Loaʻa i kekahi mau pae kiʻekiʻe o ka nicotine aʻo ka hapa nui e lawe mau nei i nā hopena maikaʻi ʻole o nā huahana paka kahiko e like me ka paka.
No ke kōkua ʻana i ka mālama ʻana i nā huahana vaping me ka palekana, ʻo Profesor Nathan Jackson o ke keʻena ʻenekinia mechanical ma ke Kulanui o New Mexico e hui pū ana me nā hoa hana e hana i kahi noiʻi hoʻokele vape. ʻO ka noiʻi hou i kapa ʻia ʻo "Droplet and Metal Particle Analysis of ENDS" e ʻike i ka palekana o ka vaping.
Wahi a ka polopeka ʻo Jackson ua hoʻolālā ʻia nā huahana vaping e wela i ka nicotine wai i nā mahana kiʻekiʻe e hoʻoheheʻe ai. Loaʻa kēia i nā hopena kemika e hoʻohua ai i nā mea ʻona e like me ka acrolein a me ka formaldehyde i ʻike ʻia e hoʻoulu ai i nā maʻi cardiovascular ma waena o nā maʻi maʻi ʻē aʻe.
ʻO ka hoʻomaʻamaʻa ʻana i ka nicotine wai a ʻoi aku ma mua o 200 degere Celsius e hoʻopuka i nā mea ʻawaʻawa he nui i hoʻomoʻa ʻia e like me nā kulu aerosol. Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Proffer Jackson, ke hana nei lākou i kahi ʻano hana e hana ai i nā kulu aerosol me ka ʻole o ka wela i nā mea e-cigarette. Hoʻopau kēia i nā mea ʻino a pau i hana ʻia e ka hoʻomehana ʻana i ka wai-e.
No ka hoʻoponopono ʻana i nā pilikia e pili ana i nā huahana vaping hou, ua hana ʻo Professor Jackson i kahi ʻenehana atomization e pili ana i ka microfabrication. Kapa ʻia ʻo silicon-vibrating mesh atomizer (Si-VMA), hoʻohana kēia ʻenehana hou i ka wela haʻahaʻa e hana i nā kulu aerosol. ʻAʻole kēia e hoʻopau wale i nā ʻāpana ultrafine akā hoʻopau pū kekahi i nā ʻāpana metala i loko o nā huahana aerosol like ʻole i hana ʻia e like me ka hoʻopau ʻana i ka hoʻohana ʻana i ka membrane metala.
Ua hilinaʻi ʻo Polofesa Jackson nāna e alakaʻi i kēia noiʻi hou e lilo kā lākou ʻenehana i mea hoʻololi pāʻani i ka ʻoihana e-cigarette. Ua ʻōlelo ʻo ia, ʻoiai ua hoʻohana kēia ʻenehana hou i kahi substrate silika, ka wai-e ʻaʻole e pili me kekahi metala i ka wā e hoʻomehana ai. E hele nui ana kēia i ka ʻoki ʻana i ka nui o nā mea ʻino e komo i loko o ka māmā ke hoʻohana nā kānaka i kā lākou huahana vaping. Eia kekahi, e hoʻohana ʻia ke kaʻina vaporization i ka wela liʻiliʻi. E pale aku kēia i nā kūlana i loaʻa ai ka wai-e e hana ana nā mea i loko e hana i nā mea ʻino e pili ana i nā pilikia olakino. ʻO ka ʻokoʻa nui loa i loaʻa i kēia ʻenehana hou me ka ʻenehana vaping o kēia manawa, ʻo ia ka ʻoiaʻiʻo ma kahi o ka hana ʻana i nā droplets nano-scale i hana ʻia e nā huahana vaping o kēia manawa e hana ia i nā droplets micro-scale. ʻO kēia ka mea e hōʻemi ai i ka manawa o ka vape droplets e komo i ke kahe koko, a hui pū. Mālama kēia i ka hoʻohana ʻana i nā huahana vaping ma mua o kēia manawa.
Ma waho aʻe o Professor Jackson, ʻo ka hui e hana nei i kēia noiʻi hou e komo pū me Katie Zychowski o UNM's College of Nursing and Pavan Muttil o UNM's School of Pharmacy. Manaʻo ka hui ʻoi aku ka palekana o ka ʻenehana a lākou e hana nei no nā lāʻau lapaʻau a me nā hoʻohana leʻaleʻa. Manaʻo lākou e hele lōʻihi ia i ka hōʻemi ʻana i nā kumukūʻai olakino e pili ana i ka vaping i ko mākou neʻe ʻana i ka wā e hiki mai ana.
