Yes, any chronic lung irritant can cause emphysema. Chronic irritants can include long exposure to household cleaners, home construction chemicals, toxic fumes, diesel fuel, air pollutants, etc. Even strong perfumes and colognes can trigger inflammation in the lungs. Emphysema is NOT just a smoking disease.
