Abstract
An e-cigarette user developed giant cell interstitial pneumonia, a rare disease largely limited to work exposure to hard metals, including cobalt. Analysis of the e-liquid identified significant levels of cobalt, supporting the e-cigarette's causative role. http://bit.ly/2VRcT1UThis publication has 23 references indexed in Scilit:
