a

One study (Wang et al., 2017) did not use an e-cigarette to generate aerosol, and another study (Uchiyama et al., 2010) did not report puff duration and interpuff interval. Thus, puffing regime is not identified in these studies. One study (Farsalinos K. E. et al., 2017a) tested two e-cigarette atomizers at different puffing regimes. One study (Kosmider et al., 2017) tested puffing regimes based on topography recordings in experienced vapers; the puffing regimes are not displayed in the table.

b

Some studies reported more than one unit for carbonyl emissions. One study (Kosmider et al., 2017) reported aerosol emissions as amount per hour of e-cigarette use.
