Smoke inhalation is the breathing in of harmful fumes (produced as by-products of combusting substances) through the respiratory tract. [1] This can cause smoke inhalation injury (subtype of acute inhalation injury) which is damage to the respiratory tract caused by chemical and/or heat exposure, as well as possible systemic toxicity after smoke inhalation.
Idling automobiles with the exhaust pipe blocked by snow has led to the poisoning of car occupants. [83] Any perforation between the exhaust manifold and shroud can result in exhaust gases reaching the cabin. Generators and propulsion engines on boats, notably houseboats, have resulted in fatal carbon monoxide exposures. [84] [85]
Intentional traffic collisions may be a chosen method of suicide where speed limits are high enough to produce fatal deceleration. [2] Modern cars have high rates of acceleration and can easily reach very high speeds in short distances, while most cannot protect occupants in frontal impact collisions exceeding 70 km/h (43 mph).

Fumes arise during a building fire or any similar scenario involving the burning of polyurethane, [21] vinyl [22] or other polymer products that required nitriles in their production. As potential contributing factors, cyanide is present in: Tobacco smoke. Many seeds or kernels such as those of almonds, apricots, apples, oranges, and flaxseed. [23]
Diesel exhaust is the exhaust gas produced by a diesel engine, plus any contained particulates. Its composition may vary with the fuel type, rate of consumption or speed of engine operation (e.g., idling or at speed or under load), and whether the engine is in an on-road vehicle, farm vehicle, locomotive, marine vessel, or stationary generator ...
