	Pneumonia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Pneumonia may also result from chemical or physical irritation of the lungs or as the result of another medical illness, such as lung cancer or alcohol abuse.
		Chemical pneumonia (usually called chemical pneumonitis) is caused by chemical toxins such as pesticides, which may enter the body by inhalation or by skin contact.
		Aspiration pneumonia (or aspiration pneumonitis) is caused by aspirating oral or gastric contents, either while eating, or after reflux or vomiting.

	Chemical pneumonitis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Chemical pneumonitis is inflammation of the lung caused by irritation from aspirated vomitus, ingested gasoline or other petroleum distillates, ingested or skin adsorbed pesticides, gasses from electroplating, or other irritants.
		It is sometimes called a "chemical pneumonia", though it is not infectious.
		The most common "chemical" causing this kind of pneumonia is actually stomach acid, which is refluxed up.

	Dr. Koop - Chemical pneumonitis
		Many household and industrial chemicals are capable of producing both an acute and a chronic form of inflammation in the lung.
		Acute chemical pneumonitis causes swelling of the lung tissue, movement of fluid into the air spaces in the lung, and less ability to absorb oxygen and get rid of carbon dioxide.
		Chronic chemical pneumonitis can follow low levels of exposure to the lung irritant over extended periods of time.

	PCCU Volume 15
		Apart from the acute clinical presentation—which may range from transient conjunctival and nasal irritation at one extreme to life-threatening chemical pneumonitis at the other—there is the question of long-term sequelae of irritant inhalations.
		In the context of inhalation injury, the word may be used to signify (1) chemically induced respiratory tract damage; (2) neurogenically mediated reflex changes in regional blood flow, mucus secretion, and airway caliber; and (3) the subjective sensation of airway irritation.
		Irritant-related bronchiolitis obliterans is characterized clinically by an acute exposure incident of moderate to high severity (with development of tracheobronchitis or chemical pneumonitis), a period of partial resolution, and then clinical deterioration 2 to 4 weeks later.

	Pulmonary Aspiration MEDSTUDENTS-ANESTHESIOLOGY (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		Aspiration pneumonitis is potencially preventable and its incidence is aproximately 1-7 cases of significant importance in 10.000 anesthetics.The severity of pulmonary outcomes after an aspiration event is associated with the presence of comorbid diseases (ASA physical status III and higher) and procedures performed emergently.
		The first phase of the response is direct reaction of the lung to acid (chemical pneumonitis); the second phase is due to leucocyte or inflammatory response to the initial damage which occurs hours later, and may lead to respiratory failure.
		Treatment of aspiration pneumonitis is mainly supportive, consisting of oxygen and ventilatory support with positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP).Patients with particulate aspirate may need bronchoscopy to remove large obstructing pieces.
