초록

경북대학교병원 호흡기내과에서 1992년 10월 화학약품제조공장에서 누출된 이산화질소의 흡입으로 인하여 급성폐손상을 받은 남자 2예를 치험하였기에 문헌고찰과 함께 보고하였다.

Human lung injury caused by the inhalation of nitrogen dioxide($NO_2$) has been reported in occupational situations other than agriculture, including arc welding, production of nitric acid or explosives, and blasting operations. Nitrogen dioxide reacts with the water in the respiratory tract to form nitric acid. The nitrates and nitrites formed from dissociation of nitric acid cause extensive local and systemic tissue damage. We present two cases of acute lung injury due to accidental inhalation of $NO_2$ gas in occupational situtions with a review of the literature.
