Hydrogen Fluoride (HF) inhalation is one of the industrial accidents. It causes serious damage, although it is quickly recognized. Since hydrofluoric acid leaks are under surveillance by the alarm system, and low concentrations of gas also have a distinctive smell, most accidents occur from exposure in a short period to a large amount of HF. Thus, prolonged exposure to HF is exceedingly rare in a developed country. We report seven cases of chemical pneumonitis due to HF inhalation to share clinical course and prognosis.
吸入氟化氢（HF）是工业事故之一。尽管它能很快被识别出来，但会造成严重损害。由于氢氟酸泄漏受警报系统监控，且低浓度气体也有独特气味，大多数事故是因短时间内接触大量HF所致。因此，在发达国家，长时间接触HF极为罕见。我们报告7例因吸入HF导致化学性肺炎的病例，以分享临床过程和预后情况。
