In this eye-opening episode, we explore the hidden dangers lurking in vaping products through the lens of ketene formation. When certain cannabinoid acetates are heated during vaping, they can decompose to form ketene, an invisible but highly toxic gas. We'll break down the chemical mechanisms behind this transformation, examine the specific conditions that promote ketene formation, and discuss why this poses a significant risk to users. Through cutting-edge research and expert insights, we'll reveal how modern analytical techniques have helped scientists identify and measure ketene production in real-time during vaping. Additionally, we'll explore how different vaping temperatures and product formulations can affect the likelihood of ketene exposure.

Our investigation continues with a detailed look at the broader implications for public he ...
