"The study notes that the lowest level of exposure at which popcorn lung was detected in workers working for 8 hours per day was 0.2ppm. According to the converter at http://www.unitconversion.org/... I believe that works out to 200 mcg/Liter. that's 200,000 micrograms per cubic meter. At about one meter average working air intake per hour, it was found that workers inhaling 1,600,000 micrograms of diacetyl every day for years began developing popcorn lung.

...

It is more like 1.6 mg per 8 hour shift.That is 1600 ug/ shift . These are approximate quantities.

Somebody screwed up fluid densities and arrived at those outrageous figures.Did the good dcotor F had a hand in this ?.

The risk is reached when one vapes 10ml eliquid with 160 ug/ml diacetyl content.
