He is currently receiving treatment at a top pediatric medical center in Singapore, and while his condition is stable, doctors have advised close monitoring over the next few days." What Happens to Your Body During a Fire? Internal Effects of Smoke and Heat Exposure Fire incidences in schools, colleges and public institutions are not unusual, but there is something that common people do not understand - the hidden toll of smoke that is equivalent to burn injuries.
Not just from flames, but from the smoke and toxins released during combustion are dangerous when someone inhales them. In such incidents, children are particularly vulnerable due to their smaller airways and developing respiratory systems. Even brief exposure to toxic fumes can lead to lasting respiratory issues.
According to experts, smoke from fires typically contains a combination of carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, hydrogen cyanide, and other chemicals that can severely affect the lungs. When a child inhales these toxic and dangerous gases, they suffer from immediate health effects. "Children's lungs are still developing, and their immune systems are not as strong as adults.
This makes them more susceptible to complications from smoke inhalation," says Dr. Radhika Menon, a pediatric pulmonologist based in Chennai. "The danger isn't over once they are out of the fire zone.
Respiratory symptoms can worsen over hours or even days, and long-term effects may include asthma, bronchitis, or other chronic lung diseases." var firstScrolled3 = false; window.addEventListener("scroll",(event) => { if(!firstScrolled3) {window.
