Age-Adjusted Death Rate due to Pneumonitis
This indicator is archived and is no longer being updated. Click to learn more
This indicator shows the age-adjusted death rate per 100,000 population due to pneumonitis. This includes pneumonitis due to solids and liquids, including food and vomit, oils and essences, and other solids and liquids.
Why is this important?
Pneumonitis is a general term that refers to inflammation of lung tissue, and is generally not caused by infection but rather by solids and liquids. Common causes include airborne irritants, mold and bacteria, drugs, and some treatments, notably radiation. Since some occupations or hobbies, such as farming, and medical treatments can cause this health issue, and since it can cause chronic inflammation and irreversible lung damage, it is important to have awareness and take action to prevent it.
