What Are the Health Impacts of Inhalation Exposure?
Inhalation exposure can lead to a variety of health effects depending on the nature of the inhaled substance. Respiratory infections, such as pneumonia and bronchitis, can result from inhaling infectious agents. Chronic inhalation of pollutants or toxins can lead to long-term conditions like asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and even lung cancer.
