inhalation

In a worst-case scenario, inhalation of nitrous oxide can lead to hypoxia, where the brain does not get enough oxygen.

Acute exposure from inhalation can cause lung inflammation, and chronic inhalation can cause chest pain, cough, shortness of breath, or noncancerous lesions in the lungs that can lead to scarring.

Israel's ambulance service said at least 12 people had been treated for smoke inhalation, but no fatalities have been reported.

At the hospital, Arenas was placed in an induced coma “as a result of smoke inhalation,” according to Johnson.

Thirteen people were treated for smoke inhalation, including five who were taken to hospital, according to the city's emergency information office.
