Respiratory toxicity

Respiratory toxicity refers to damage or irritation to the lungs and airways caused by certain substances, such as chemicals, pollutants, or drugs. This damage can impair breathing, reduce oxygen intake, and lead to conditions like coughing, shortness of breath, or lung inflammation. In severe cases, it can cause long-term lung problems or respiratory failure. The extent of harm depends on the substance, exposure level, and individual sensitivity. It's important to avoid inhaling harmful chemicals and seek medical attention if experiencing ongoing respiratory symptoms.
