Explosions can have direct and indirect effects on human health:
Inhalation of Toxic Gases: Toxic gases released can be inhaled, leading to respiratory issues, chemical pneumonitis, or systemic toxicity. Thermal Injuries: The heat from explosions can cause burns, which may complicate with infections due to exposure to toxic agents. Blast Injuries: The pressure wave from an explosion can cause trauma, affecting organs like the ears, lungs, and gastrointestinal tract.
