Secondhand vape plumes could form lung-damaging radicals

[
Electronic cigarettes—or vapes—can release puffs of vapor in aromatic clouds. The health risks of breathing in this secondhand or passive vapor aren’t fully understood.

They found that aged vapor contained fine particles with several metals and highly reactive compounds, which together produce radicals that might damage lung tissue if inhaled.
