Does Diacetyl Cause Popcorn Lung from Vaping?
"Popcorn lung, or bronchiolitis obliterans, is a severe lung condition where the smallest airways scar and decrease efficiency. It has no cure except for lung transplant and can be caused by infections or exposure to chemical particles. Diketones like diacetyl are commonly linked to the condition, but other chemicals such as chlorine and ammonia can also lead to it. Interestingly, lung transplants, the main treatment, can also cause popcorn lung, contributing to bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome, a major form of lung transplant rejection."
