Inflammation is a normal part of healing after injury or infection, but can also be caused by environmental chemicals, pathogens and radiation. Normally, inflammation subsides in a few hours. However, if it fails to resolve and becomes chronic, inflammation can contribute to further tissue injury and disease. Chronic inflammation contributes to more than half of deaths worldwide. .
