In the realm of toxicology, there are several potential causes of chronic inflammation. These include:
Air pollutants such as particulate matter and ozone, which can induce inflammatory responses in the respiratory system.
Exposure to industrial chemicals like benzene, which can cause systemic inflammation and affect multiple organs.
Prolonged use of certain pharmaceuticals, including some non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), which can paradoxically lead to chronic inflammatory conditions.
Heavy metals such as lead and mercury, known for their ability to cause chronic inflammatory responses in various tissues.
