The propylene glycol in e-smoking liquids might help keep us healthy.
It would accomplish that by its germicidal action. It kills many of
the major bacteria that threaten lung entry into our bodies.
Back in the late '30s, researchers at the University of Chicago
stumbled onto its effectiveness as a germ-killer, as related in this
Time magazine story from Nov. 16, 1942:
"A powerful preventive against pneumonia, influenza and other
respiratory diseases may be promised by a brilliant series of
experiments conducted during the last three years at the University of
Chicago's Billings Hospital. Dr. Oswald Hope Robertson last week was
making final tests with a new germicidal vapor ? propylene glycol ? to
sterilize air. If the results so far obtained are confirmed, one of
the ageold searches of man will finally achieve its goal...
"...the researchers found that the propylene glycol itself was a
potent germicide. One part of glycol in 2,000,000 parts of air would ?
within a few seconds ? kill concentrations of air-suspended
pneumococci, streptococci and other bacteria numbering millions to the
cubic foot.
"How did it work? Respiratory disease bacteria float about in tiny
droplets of water breathed, sneezed and coughed from human beings. The
germicidal glycol also floats in infinitesimally small particles.
Calculations showed that if droplet had to hit droplet, it would take
two to 200 hours for sterilization of sprayed air to take place. Since
sterilization took place in seconds, Dr. Robertson concluded that the
glycol droplets must give off gas molecules which dissolve in the
water droplets and kill the germs within them.
"Dr. Robertson placed groups of mice in a chamber and sprayed its air
first with propylene glycol, then with influenza virus. All the mice
lived. Then he sprayed the chamber with virus alone. All the mice
died."
