Concentration levels of selected analytes in the gas phase of an e-cigarette aerosol
PublicationThe aerosols generated from e-cigarettes are composed of liquid and gas phases resulting from vapourized e-liquid. The apportioning of substances from e-liquid into the liquid and gas phases during e-cigarette use has not been extensively studied. Partitioning of e-liquid components between the gas and the liquid phase of the aerosol influences the substances inhaled and exhaled by the users, leading to second-hand exposure. It...

Badania eksperymentalne stabilności cienkich warstw cieczy powstających na płaskiej powierzchni z uderzającej strugi aerozolu
PublicationPrzedstawiono wyniki badań stabilności warstwy cieczy powstającej na powierzchni ciała stałego z uderzającej strugi aerozolu. Dla pewnych parametrów przepływu następuje pękanie warstwy cieczy i płynie ona w postaci strug. Zjawisko pękania powoduje gwałtowne zmniejszenie intensywności wymiany ciepła między cieczą a płytą, po której ciecz przepływa.

Elektroniczne papierosy – (nie)bezpieczne palenie? Cz. 1 Charakterystyka i aspekty zdrowotne
PublicationWedług danych Światowej Organizacji Zdrowia (WHO) z 2015 roku, papierosy pali aż 1,1 miliarda osób, a palenie tytoniu powoduje rocznie śmierć aż 6 milionów ludzi. Uświadamia to skalę problemu i dowodzi, że pomimo licznych akcji społecznych przeciwko paleniu tytoniu, pozostaje on nadal nierozwiązany. W ostatnich latach ogromną popularność zyskały elektroniczne papierosy jako zdrowsza, tańsza i modniejsza alternatywa w stosunku do...

Measurement report: Spatial variations in ionic chemistry and water-stable isotopes in the snowpack on glaciers across Svalbard during the 2015–2016 snow accumulation season
PublicationThe Svalbard archipelago, located at the Arctic sea-ice edge between 74 and 81∘ N, is ∼60 % covered by glaciers. The region experiences rapid variations in atmospheric flow during the snow season (from late September to May) and can be affected by air advected from both lower and higher latitudes, which likely impact the chemical composition of snowfall. While long-term changes in Svalbard snow chemistry have been documented in...
