can internet terps meant for distillate harm lungs?(floralplex/massterps)

Are there any health cases/studies related to terpenes doing damage to lungs, such as popcorn lung? there has to be some side effect, I’ve read comments of people talking about being allergic to specific terpenes. excited for what kind of feedback I can get if any!

Well they are hydrocarbons- stay away from large amounts of diluent blends- keep them under 10%. Popcorn Lung actually only happens to people working in poorly ventilated popcorn manufacturing facilities- the guys working over the hoppers for like 30 years. Cigarettes have over 100X more diacetyl than any vape so if cigs don’t cause it, vapes shouldn’t.

Not many papers on the subject
Yet some on singel terps
With inhalation of them as a minor in these there is some info on terps from pine tree s where the workers where affected in the sawing mills
Eucalyptol has some papers on inhalation the base of Vicks steambaths when I’ll
If I can find the time I ll search what I have found so far
But comon sense is keep the % low
For lungs aren t realy made for them
