Pneumonia usually is caused by a bacteria or virus. In chemical pneumonia, inflammation of lung tissue is from poisons or toxins. Only a small percentage of pneumonias are caused by chemicals. Many substances can cause chemical pneumonia, including liquids, gases, and small particles, such as dust or fumes, also called particulate matter. Some chemicals only harm the lungs; however, some toxic materials affect other organs in addition to the lungs and can result in serious organ damage or death. Aspiration pneumonia is another form of chemical pneumonia. Aspiration means that you breathe oral secretions or stomach contents into your lungs. The inflammation comes from the toxic effects of stomach acid and enzymes on lung tissue. Bacteria from the stomach or mouth can also cause a bacterial pneumonia. Chemical pneumonia is only one type of lung inflammation. You can read about

Newswatch Last Updated: Tuesday, 1 April, 2003, 16:37 GMT 17:37 UK Email this to a friend Printable version Fears mount over deadly bug A Toronto nurse takes precautions The deadly pneumonia, which is spreading across the world, could be more contagious than previously thought, an expert has warned. Hong Kong, which has been hit hard, has established quarantine camps in an effort to try to contain the spread of the disease. And at Singapore airport, nurses monitored passengers for signs of the illness. Seven were sent to hospital because they showed symptoms of the pneumonia. The illness, dubbed Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS), has so far killed 62 people worldwide, and infected 1,800. Initially it was thought that the illness could only be spread by close contact. But Dr Hitoshi Oshitani, a World Health Organization (WHO) expert, told the BBC that this was not necessarily the case. He said: "In most cases infection occurs by close person-to-person contact, but there are several cases now that we cannot explain by this model of transmission." He stressed that SARS was more contagious than the deadly Ebola virus.
