What Is Subcutaneous Emphysema?
8. Chemicals
Some chemicals are very corrosive and need to be treated with extreme caution. A spillage on any part of the body can result in tissue being dissolved. Some chemicals are so caustic that even their fumes can do serious damage to the body if they are inhaled. If the wrong chemicals are inhaled, the damage caused can rupture the windpipe.
This can cause air to seep into the surrounding tissues, and this can cause subcutaneous emphysema. This can also happen in some people that inhale an excessive amount of cocaine. If you are around dangerous chemicals, you should always be sure to use necessary precautions.
