AB  - The  lungs  and  airways  are  in  constant  contact  with  the  outside  world  and  are  especially  vulnerable  to  toxic  substances  present  in  the  environment.  Within  seconds  of  exposure  to  an  inhaled  toxin,  pathologic  events  occur  that  may  cause  immediate  distress,  produce  illness  lasting  days,  or  even  lead  to  the  development  of  chronic  lung  disease.  In  this  chapter  we  discuss  the  pathology  and  pathophysiology  that  can  result  from  various  inhaled  toxins  and  highlight  the  role  of  several  common  and  medically  significant  toxic  inhalants  that  are  known  to  cause  acute  and  chronic  pathophysiologic  responses  in  the  lung.  We  also  describe  several  systemic  syndromes  caused  by  acute  toxic  inhalations.  The  scope  of  this  chapter  does  not  include  chronic  exposure  to  low  levels  of  toxins.
