Lung problems

No chronic lung problems were found in 326 workers exposed to concentrations ranging from nondetectable to greater than 0.13 ppm. ... 

Toxicology. Quinoline is a poison when it enters the body by any of the normal routes, i.e., ingestion, or subcutaneous or intraperitonea] injection. Even contact with the skin produces a moderate toxic reaction, and can result in severe irritation. There is evidence that quinoline is mutagenic, and long exposure can produce lung problems. 

It contains prunasin, which, when broken down in the body, quells spasms in the smooth muscles that line the bronchioles. Wild cherry syrup is effective in treating coughs, bronchitis, whooping cough, and other lung problems. 

Constant exposure to kiln firings may cause chronic lung problems, such as emphysema. Carbon monoxide poisoning can occur (symptoms are lethargy and a continuing headache). Proper ventilation can prevent most kiln-induced health problems. 

Exposure to aluminum is usually not harmful. Aluminum occurs naturally in many foods. Factory workers who breathe large amounts of aluminum dusts can have lung problems, such as coughing or changes that show up in chest X-rays. The use of breathing masks and controls on the levels of dust in factories have eliminated this problem. Some workers who breathe aluminum dusts or aluminum fumes have decreased performance in some tests that measure functions of the nervous system. Some people who have kidney disease store a lot of aluminum in their bodies. The kidney disease causes less aluminum to be removed from the body in the urine. Sometimes these people developed bone or brain diseases that doctors think were caused by the excess aluminum. Some studies show that people exposed to high levels of aluminum may develop Alzheimer s disease, but other studies have not found this to be true. We do not...

The possibility of lung problems due to inhalation of fine particles or flakes or fibers of fiberglass has often been raised. The extensive medical research so far reported has shown no consistent evidence of chronic health effects in workers who are exposed to man-made vitreous fibers. In some studies where massive doses of fine-diameter fibers were implanted into mice, cancer development in the pleura was noted. Also some animal studies involving injection of fibers into the trachae resulted in a minimal fibrosis. 

Cigarette smoke is unhealthy even for people who don t have the nicotine habit themselves. Secondhand smoke can cause asthmatics and sufferers of sinusitis serious problems. Doctors regularly advise heart patients to avoid confined smoky areas because coronary attacks might be triggered by the lack of clean air. Moreover, having the smell of smoke in one s hair and clothes is a real nuisance. (5)Even if a person is without any health problems, exhaled smoke doubles the amount of carbon monoxide in the air, a condition that may cause lung problems in the future. 

Medication that you place in your eyes, ears, or in your nose is administered using the instillation route in the form of drops, ointment, and sprays. Patients with lung problems sometimes receive medication using the inhalation route. Medication is delivered using an inhaler that changes liquid medication into a spray. 

In one study, conducted continuously since 1982 at the University of California, Los Angeles, (UCLA) Medical School, researchers have compared marijuana-only smokers, tobacco-only smokers, smokers of both, and nonsmokers. They found that some marijuana-only smokers developed lung problems, but such problems were much less frequent and less pronounced than those found in tobacco smokers. In addition, the impairments found in marijuana-only smokers occurred primarily in the lung s large airways, not the smaller, more delicate airways. Since repeated inflammation of the small airways leads to chronic bronchitis and emphysema, marijuana smokers, the study concluded, are not likely to develop these diseases. 

Available studies of workers exposed tor long periods of time to low levels of phosgene gas have not showm increased chances of developing lung problems. 

Precautions The prolonged breathing of dusts may cause disabling lung problem known as silicosis.
