A member asked:

What health concern should i have after accidentally inhaling a chemical?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Depends: There is a national standard for the safety of chemicals called msds. You should ask your employer to provide you the msds data for the chemical you inhaled. This will tell you if the chemical has any negative side effects.
