There are other ways that inhalant abuse can be fatal, including:. NIDA research shows that most substances used as inhalants are very toxic and chronic exposure to them can result in damage to the brain and nervous system. Prolonged inhalant abuse can damage regions of the brain that control cognition, movement, vision, and hearing.
Chronic users can experience cognitive abnormalities that range from mild impairment to severe dementia, according to the NIDA. The brain is not the only organ that can be damaged. Inhalants have been found highly toxic to the heart, lungs, liver, and kidneys. NIDA research indicates that inhalant abuse while pregnant can result in reduced birth weights, occasional skeletal abnormalities, and delayed neurobehavioral development among other effects. Case studies have shown that children of women who abused inhalants during pregnancy were developmentally impaired.
Research has not, however, linked any inhalants to specific birth defects or developmental problems. The dangers of abusing nitrites, known as "poppers," arise from exposure to the substance itself as well as from behaviors associated with the use of the drugs.
Known side-effects of nonmedical use of nitrite inhalants include skin and tracheobronchial irritation; acute toxicity mediated by conditions known as hypokinetic anoxia and methemoglobinemia; and associated disorders of blood and blood-forming organs. In most cases, nitrites are used by older adolescents and adults in an attempt to enhance sexual function and pleasure.
Additionally, animal studies have shown that the use of nitrites depletes cells in the user's immune system and impairs the body's mechanisms for fighting infectious diseases. Therefore, researchers have concluded that nitrite abuse may be linked to the development and progression of infectious diseases and tumors. One animal study found that even a small number of exposures to butyl nitrite results in dramatic increases in tumor development and growth.
Actually, a higher percentage of girls than boys abuse inhalants, also known as huffing, according to the latest government statistics.
