    Journal: Pediatrics; 2002 May; 109(5):959-61. PubMed ID: 11986462.
    Abstract:
    The ingestion of toxic substances is a common pediatric emergency. Activated charcoal is part of the standard treatment for most toxic ingestions and is considered a benign therapy. We report a case of inadvertent administration of activated charcoal into the trachea that resulted in the development of chronic lung disease.
