Article Synopsis
- The study investigates trace metal concentrations in dokha (medwakh) and shisha tobacco products available in local markets, revealing they contain more nicotine and tar than other tobacco types.
- There is a lack of data on trace elements in these products in the Middle East and North Africa, and their potential health risks due to toxicity have not been adequately addressed.
- Using EDXRF spectroscopy, the study found significant levels of metals like aluminum and iron, raising concerns about their health impacts, particularly for non-smokers exposed to secondhand smoke.
