protect the environment, a project was launched in 2012 to estimate the environmental impact of electronic cigarettes, compared to traditional cigarettes. A little later we realized how significant it could be and we moved on to the next question: <strong>which is the toxicological impact on humans<\/strong>? The answer would have suggested if the electronic cigarette could have been a new vice, a fad, or a healthier way out of the deadly tobacco smoke.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-3\"><p>It was 2013 when we looked for the<strong> best skills<\/strong> in <strong>inhalation toxicology<\/strong> available at European research centers. Thus we found several specialized teams, with which we began a series of preliminary interactions. It was clear that the technologies of exposure of the cells and measurement of the effects of pollutants on cells were already available, but the part of <strong>production of the steam in a controlled regime<\/strong> <strong>was<\/strong> completely <strong>missing<\/strong>. So <strong>we started building a first version of our vaping machine<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to a conspicuous financing of an Italian company (today world leader in aromas for electronic cigarettes) we activated several research projects in a regime of authentic public-private collaboration. It was born <strong>one of the most ambitious and innovative private programs<\/strong> in the sector: <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.clearstreamonward.com\/en\/\">ClearStream Onward<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-4\"><p>Today we expose <strong>cells<\/strong> of different types <strong>to the vapors of electronic cigarettes<\/strong> subjected to <strong>different regimes and topologies<\/strong>, with immersion systems or air-liquid interface. <strong>Molecular assays<\/strong> of <strong>cytotoxicity<\/strong>, <strong>genotoxicity<\/strong> and <strong>mutagenicity<\/strong> are performed and <strong>several biomarkers<\/strong> have been tested. The whole program has been developed under the <strong>Tox21 paradigm<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Our methods<\/strong> are the subject of scientific publications, currently in the validation phase, and they <strong>have aroused the interest of regulatory authorities<\/strong> of different nations.<\/p>\n<p>Today we aspire to <strong>share our skills<\/strong> <strong>with<\/strong> the most important <strong>regulatory authorities<\/strong> and <strong>on<\/strong> the tables of the i<strong>nternational technical commissions<\/strong>, with the aim of contributing to the construction of <strong>new standards for toxicological assessment of vaping emissions<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"parent":9740,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"100-width.php","meta":{"_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-4368","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/staging-vaping.trusticert.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/4368","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/staging-vaping.trusticert.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/staging-vaping.trusticert.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/staging-vaping.trusticert.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/staging-vaping.trusticert.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4368"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/staging-vaping.trusticert.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/4368\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8237,"href":"https:\/\/staging-vaping.trusticert.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/4368\/revisions\/8237"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/staging-vaping.trusticert.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/9740"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/staging-vaping.trusticert.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4368"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
