the phase of breathing when air is taken into the lungs; inspiration.
Taking air into the lungs.
a medication to be taken by inhaling it
The process by which air is drawn into the lungs.
"Next to ingesting a drug, the simplest was of receiving its effects is to inhale it in some form of gaseous or vaporous state. [...] The psychoactive effect of an inhaled drug is even faster than a drug delivered through intravenous injection" ( Levinthal, 50-51).
Type of exposure through the lungs.
Entry of toxic materials into the body by breathing through the nose or mouth.
Breathing. Exposure can occur from inhaling contaminants because they can be deposited in the lungs and absorbed into the blood.
Breathing in. The most common way for a toxic substance to enter the body.
Breathing. It is a way a chemical can enter your body (See Route of Exposure).
1) the act of breathing in; 2) in the case of radionuclides or chemicals, breathing in radionuclides or chemicals.
Breathing. Exposure may occur from inhaling contaminants because they can be deposited in the lungs, taken into the blood, or both.
The act of breathing. Exposure to a hazardous substance may occur from inhaling contaminants in the air. These contaminants can enter the bloodstream or get into the lungs or both.
Breathing into the lungs of a (contaminated) substance in the form of a gas, vapour, fume, mist, or dust.
initial symptoms may resemble a common cold. After several days, the symptoms may progress to severe breathing problems and shock. Inhalation anthrax is usually fatal.
the act of breathing in; the intake of air or other substances into the lungs
The act of administering a drug or combination of drugs by nasal or oral respiration. Also, the act of drawing air or other substances into the lungs. Nicotine in tobacco smoke enters the body by inhalation.
Breathing material in through the nose and mouth.
Breathing. This is one way a person can be exposed to chemicals.
Breathing. Once inhaled, contaminants can be deposited in the lungs, taken into the blood, or both.
The act of breathing. A hazardous substance can enter the body this way [see route of exposure].
Part of the breathing process. Exposure can occur by inhaling contaminants which can then be deposited in the lungs, taken into the blood, or both.
The respiration of chemical gas, fumes or dust particles.
Breathing in air or other substance.
Treatment by breathing in vaporized, volatile substances such as essential oils.
Exposure to contaminants in the ambient air occurs principally via inhalation. If they are in gaseous form (as opposed to being adsorbed onto particles), inhaled contaminants can enter the general circulation directly, without being processed in the liver first, as are contaminants that are absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract.
The breathing in of an airborne substance that may be in the form of gases, mists, vapors, dusts or aerosols.
taken into the body by breathing
In medicine, refers to the act of taking a substance into the body by breathing.
means taking a material into the body by breathing it in.
Breathing. People can take in chemicals by breathing contaminated air.
Breathing. One route of exposure to chemicals. During inhalation, chemicals can be deposited in the lungs, taken into the blood, or both.
Breathing a substance (may be gas, vapor, fume, mist or dust).
Taking a substance, typically in the form of gases, fumes, vapours, mists, aerosols or dusts, into the body by breathing it in
Breathing a chemical into the lung.
The act of taking into the body by breathing in (inhaling).
The taking in of toxic materials by breathing through the nose and mouth.
Inhalation (also known as inspiration) is the movement of air from the external environment, through the airways, into the alveoli during breathing.
