The Inhalation of Gases

Inhalation of gases involves breathing in airborne substances that can affect the body's functions. These gases can enter the lungs quickly through inhalation, where they may be absorbed into the bloodstream. Some gases, like oxygen, are vital for life, while others, such as carbon monoxide or industrial fumes, can be harmful or toxic, interfering with normal oxygen transport or damaging tissues. The impact of inhaled gases depends on their type, concentration, and duration of exposure. Proper ventilation and protective equipment are important to prevent harmful inhalation, ensuring respiratory health and safety.
