Reactive airways dysfunction syndrome (RADS) is characterized by persistent bronchial hyperreactivity and asthmatic symptoms in a previously healthy individual after a single intense exposure to an irritant fume, vapor, or gas. On October 23, 1995, a cloud of dinitrogen tetroxide (N2O4) escaped from a railroad tanker car in Bogalusa, Louisiana, exposing an estimated 4,000 citizens to the gas.
