Prolonged exposure to NO can cause lung tissue inflammation, bronchiolitis fibrosa obliterans, and silo filler's disease. In recent years, nanostructured semiconducting metal oxides have been widely used to fabricate gas sensors because of their unique structure and surface-to-volume ratio compared to layered materials. In particular, the different morphologies of ZnO-based nanostructures significantly affect the detection property of NO gas sensors.

Background: Nitrogen dioxide (NO) is a pulmonary irritant produced as a byproduct of bacterial anaerobic metabolism of organic materials, and is also produced as a byproduct of explosive detonations. Significant NO exposure results in free-radical-induced pulmonary injury that may be delayed up to 3-30 h after exposure and can progress to acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and death. Here we present a case series of 3 patients with dose-dependent pulmonary injury consistent with NO inhalation following exposure to fumes from detonation of an ammonium nitrate/nitromethane (ANNM) explosive device.

Silo-filler's disease, a life-threatening condition from exposure to silage gas in recently filled silos, has been known for over 5 decades now. However, farm workers remain exposed to this preventable condition. We describe the index presentations and subsequent changes among 19 patients managed within our health system over a 61-year period and highlight the need for ongoing education on minimizing exposure to silo gas.
