  • Title: Charcoal lung. Bronchiolitis obliterans after aspiration of activated charcoal.
    Author: Elliott CG, Colby TV, Kelly TM, Hicks HG.
    Journal: Chest; 1989 Sep; 96(3):672-4. PubMed ID: 2766830.
    Abstract:
    Activated charcoal usually provides effective and safe treatment for drug overdose. We describe a patient who developed bronchiolitis obliterans and respiratory failure following aspiration of activated charcoal. This patient had a markedly reduced vital capacity with roentgenographic evidence of airtrapping. Chest roentgenograms did not demonstrate the large amount of charcoal identified at postmortem examination.
