This study identifies and classifies 1740 substances found in the ingredients and emissions of ECs and HTPs, including, 134 hazardous chemicals, among which are carcinogens, mutagens and reproduction toxicants. This indicates regulatory gaps and the need for stricter enforcement of existing bans. The findings provide a valuable tool for policymakers and public health professionals for monitoring and mitigating risks.
