Will all mucous membranes in the body damaged by inhaling of pool plaster dust heal with time?

Lungs are at risk: I would be very concerned about your lung function. Mucus membranes in the nose, mouth or throat may heal but you should have your lungs ; eyes and maybe an ear nose ; throat physician check you over.
