The most common "chemical" causing this kind of pneumonia is actually stomach acid, which is refluxed up. YUCKO!!!
Pneumonia may also result from chemical or physical irritation of the lungs or as the result of another medical illness, such as lung cancer or alcohol abuse.
Chemicalpneumonia (usually called chemicalpneumonitis) is caused by chemical toxins such as pesticides, which may enter the body by inhalation or by skin contact.
Aspiration pneumonia (or aspiration pneumonitis) is caused by aspirating oral or gastric contents, either while eating, or after reflux or vomiting.
