Should you be concerned breathing in vapors from Clorox bleach?
You should indeed be concerned with breathing in vapors of any Clorox Bleach. Clorox is a highly alkaline substance (with a pH >7.0). and as such may be corrisive to damp tissue -- mucous membranes like the nose and throat, and the lungs, as well as the eyes.
You should always use any bleach in a well-ventilated environment so you don't breathe the fumes, or wear a HEPA filter.
Take a look at the Clorox bottle for lots of details about this.

The most common problem when you have breathing problems, unable to clear your lungs or catch your breath, is asthma, chronic bronchitis, or other chronic lung condition. All of these come under the umbrella term COPD - Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease. The lungs are not enlarged. Instead, the airways are irritated, inflamed, and narrowed. Your inhaler should open the airways. It is probably a "rescue inhaler". You need to ask your doctor if you need a maintenance inhaler used once a day, along with using your rescue inhaler.
The key is, if your rescue inhaler is not doing what you need, you must talk to your doctor. There are wonderful medication combinations that can help you breathe better.
Cancer is a disease caused when cells divide uncontrollably and spread into surrounding tissues.
Cancer is caused by changes to DNA. Most cancer-causing DNA changes occur in sections of DNA called genes.
Cancer is the name given to a collection of related diseases. In all types of cancer, some of the body’s cells begin to
divide without stopping and spread into surrounding tissues.Cancer can start almost anywhere in the human body, which is
made up of trillions of cells. Normally, human cells grow and divide to form new cells as the body needs them. When cells
grow old or become damaged, they die, and new cells take their place.When cancer develops, however, this orderly process breaks
down. As cells become more and more abnormal, old or damaged cells survive when they should die, and new cells form when they are
not needed. These extra cells can divide without stopping and may form growths called tumors.Many cancers form solid tumors, which
are masses of tissue. Cancers of the blood, such as leukemias, generally do not form solid tumors.Cancerous tumors are malignant,
which means they can spread into, or invade, nearby tissues. In addition, as these tumors grow, some cancer cells can break off and
travel to distant places in the body through the blood or the lymph system and form new tumors far from the original tumor.
Unlike malignant tumors, benign tumors do not spread into, or invade, nearby tissues. Benign tumors can sometimes be quite large,
however. When removed, they usually don’t grow back, whereas malignant tumors sometimes do. Unlike most benign tumors elsewhere in
the body, benign brain tumors can be life threatening.
his is a serious disease that caused,many people to die and suffer miserably but why worry for nothing because
nowadays with the new advancements in modern technology we can see if we have or dont have cancer ,even if there
is a slight chance of getting cancers there are ways you to know.

Collecting oxygen poor blood from the body and pumping it to the lungs is a function of the?
The pulmonary artery carries deoxygenated blood from the heart to the lungs so that the blood can be oxygenated.
What is the oxygen association reaction that occurs in the lungs?
As the blood passes though the pulmonary circulation, oxygen within the lungs binds with the hemoglobin and is carried from the lungs back to the heart and then from there on to the active tissues of the body.
What comes first in the respiratory tree the respiratory bronchioles or the terminal bronchioles?
the terminal first
How many surface area do your lungs take up?
If you unfolded all the folds and branches in your lungs, the area it would cover would equal about one half of a tennis court.
Are the tiny sacs where gas exchange takes place called the lymphocytes?
No. They are called alveoli. Lymphocytes are a type of white blood cell.
Is lungs made of spongy tissue?
Yes, the lungs are made up of two spongy sac -like organs located in the upper chest that help in oxygenating the bloodstream.
How much pressure is on your lungs in outer space?
well lets just say that if went down to the bottom of the ocean you would be crushed but in outer space it would take half the time
What is the amount of air remaining in the lungs even after the greatest possible expiratory effort?
residual volume
How much does a Diseased lung weigh?
There is no answer to your question since there is a lack of context with regard to the disease. A diseased lung is altered by it's pathology. Different pathologies (courses of disease) may result in different outcomes of the same lung size (that is make some lungs heavier whole other diseases may reduce the weight of the lung).
What is the function of balloon like structure of lungs?
The function of the lungs is gas exchange. They take in external air, absorb the oxygen the body needs, and expels the carbon dioxide that the body produces as waste.
