PY - 2018 T2 - Poisoning & Drug Overdose, 7e AB - Smoke inhalation commonly occurs in fire victims and is associated with high morbidity and mortality. In addition to thermal injury, burning organic and inorganic materials can produce a very large number of different toxins, leading to chemical injury to the respiratory tract as well as systemic effects from absorption of poisons through the lungs. "Smoke bombs" do not release true smoke but can be hazardous because of irritant components, particularly zinc chloride.
