AB  - Inhalation  injury  is  a  broad  term  that  includes  pulmonary  exposure  to  a  wide  range  of  chemicals  in  various  forms,  including  smoke,  gases,  vapors,  fumes,  aerosols,  or  dust.1,2  Toxic  chemical  exposure  can  be  a  consequence  of  an  industrial  disaster,  occupational  exposure,  recreational  mishap,  natural  catastrophe,  chemical  warfare,  or  acts  of  terrorism.3  The  consequences  of  such  exposure  include  direct  injury  to  the  upper  respiratory  tract  and  lung  parenchyma,  as  well  as  systemic  toxicity.  The  manifestation  and  severity  of  such  injuries  depend  upon  chemical  characteristics  (e.g.,  solubility,  particle  size,  composition,  etc.),  the  amount  of  toxic  compound  or  compounds  inhaled,  and  patient  characteristics  (e.g.,  age,  premorbid  conditions,  etc.).
