I really need to know to know this.@ two days old. my baby was subjected to a high level of diesel fumes coming in from the hospital vents. Due to testing of generators and backed up through vent. she was in the room roughly 30 minutes what kinda damage should I be concerned about. should I be concerned? how long would it stay in lungs and the blood? please if you know.thanks
It depends on the size of the room and how quickly diesel fumes are being added. The gas would not say long in the blood and lungs although the damage would still be evident to a doctor doing a thorough exam. The two greatest concerns for you would be brain damage due to a lack of oxygen. Essentially when you're breathing in any kinds of fumes you are depriving your brain of oxygen while also subjecting your body to whatever poisons are in the fumes themselves. The second area of concern would be lung damage. The tissues would suffer as some of the fumes you are talking about could have an acidic component and could burn the lungs to some degree. Have your baby examined by a doctor and tell him your concerns.
After exposure to diesel gas fumes, if not, taken for treatment of oxygen inhalation in an incubator,0r oxygen tent -----the effect will be fatal ---byway of mucus collection and respiratory interference of gaseous exchange leading to fatality because of brain damage,for a continued exposure for more than 30minutes ---please read ---diesel-byproduct-result-in-brain damege
