Chlorine Induced Lung Injury

Chlorine Gas Injury can lead to  epithelial injury, airway remodelling and potentially ARDS. Inhalation models of chlorine toxicity provide unique opportunities for testing potential pharmacologic rescue agents.

Labcorp’s chlorine exposure model has demonstrated significant increases in tidal volume, penh and lower respiratory rates, lung odema, increases in BAL IL-1β, MIP-1α, MCP-1 and clinical signs.
