Carbaryl (Pesticide)
Carbaryl (1-naphthyl methylcarbamate) is a chemical in the carbamate family used chiefly as an insecticide. It is a white crystalline solid commonly sold under the brand name Sevin, a trademark of the Bayer Company. Union Carbide discovered carbaryl and introduced it commercially in 1958. Bayer purchased Aventis CropScience in 2002, a company that included Union Carbide pesticide operations. It remains the third most-used insecticide in the United States for home gardens, commercial agriculture, and forestry and rangeland protection. Approximately 11 million kilograms were applied to U.S. farm crops in 1976. As a veterinary drug, it is known as carbaril.
Carbon (Virgin Coconut Carbon)
Activated Virgin Coconut Carbon is processed in a way that millions of microscopic air spaces are created; airspaces that help to capture the impurities and tars.

Carcinogen
A carcinogen is any substance, radionuclide, or radiation that is an agent directly involved in causing cancer. This may be due to the ability to damage the genome or to the disruption of cellular metabolic processes. Several radioactive substances are considered carcinogens, but their carcinogenic activity is attributed to the radiation, for example gamma rays and alpha particles, which they emit. Common examples of non-radioactive carcinogens are inhaled asbestos, certain dioxins, and tobacco smoke. Although the public generally associates carcinogenicity with synthetic chemicals, it is equally likely to arise in both natural and synthetic substances.
Concentrates
Is a form of a substance which has had the majority of its base component (in the case of a liquid; the solvent) removed.
Cotton (Organic Cotton)
Organic Cotton acts as a natural agent to filter out impurities and in doing so gives you a smoother inhalation. The use of Organic Cotton is very important as “conventional cotton is treated with synthetically produced chemicals”. In order to fully benefit from Scientific Inhalations’ breakthrough technology you should only use Organic Cotton to filter your tobacco products.
HEALTH ALERT!!!
Never use “Conventional Cotton Balls” with your device! Due to the amount of insecticides used on cotton, it has become known as the dirtiest crop. Despite the fact that cotton covers a mere 2.5% of the world’s farmland, it accounts for over 25% of the world’s insecticide usage.
Every year, the strength of those insecticides has to be increased since the bugs continually build up immunities. The top nine pesticides used are classified by the US-EPA as the most dangerous, and five of those nine are known cancer-causing chemicals.
The cottonseed hulls that aren’t used to make fabric go towards production of mattresses, cotton balls, tampons, fuel, and feed for livestock (which eventually makes its way into the milk products we consume).
The toxins sprayed onto the cotton not only affect the plant itself, but also seep into the soil compromising its nutritive value, eventually making their way into our water. In addition, when cotton is manufactured into fabric, even more harmful chemicals are added during the cleaning and dying process.
Cypermethrin (Pesticide)
A carcinogen is any substance, radionuclide, or radiation that is an agent directly involved in causing cancer. This may be due to the ability to damage the genome or to the disruption of cellular metabolic processes.
