- 36. Toxic Pneumonitis
- Water soluble irritant inhalants include ammonia, bromine, chlorine,
diborane,
hydrogen fluoride and sulfur dioxide. Less soluble in water are nitrogen dioxide, phosgene and ozone.
These three agents cause less injury to the upper airways, and are more
likely to damage deep lung tissue and produce delayed pulmonary edema.
