Can you get adult onset asthma from inhaling airbag fumes?
There is no evidence to suggest that adult-onset asthma can be caused by inhaling airbag fumes or any chemicals emitted by airbags after deploying during a car accident. Airbags usually deploy non-toxic gases like nitrogen to inflate rapidly. While exposure to the chemicals in vehicle exhaust fumes or toxic fumes in a car due to improper ventilation might exacerbate existing respiratory conditions, they aren't the primary causal factor for asthma. Asthma typically results from genetic factors, allergies, smoking, occupational/environmental exposures, or certain infections
