inhalation

In one case, a newborn baby died from smoke inhalation after being exposed to tear gas.

A post-mortem examination found the child died from the "inhalation of the products of combustion", the court heard.

Most of the survivors suffered burns and fracture injuries while trying to escape, while others had respiratory distress from smoke inhalation.

All 14 went to the emergency room, where they spent about three hours in a hyperbaric oxygen chamber to combat the effects of smoke inhalation.

Yet the EPA’s own website notes that short-term exposure to EtO by inhalation can cause adverse health effects including headaches, dizziness, nausea, fatigue, respiratory irritation, gastrointestinal distress and vomiting.
