%X Acute Lung Inflammation & Injury (ALI) is a patho-physiological response to interaction of various factors at biomolecular and cellular level and the physiological condition leading to enhancement of the same in contamined environmental conditions. This review aims to discuss the current status of research done in the area of ALI and unique in that it projects a combination of new simulations, experiments and schemes which were not proposed earlier in targeting the ALI at many areas. Utilization of biomarkers in medicine enhances the capacity to detect and support diagnosis of disease for early prediction and for planning therapeutic alternatives. Novel investigation and innovative understanding at molecular level revealed an abundance of exciting arena of new biomarkers which suggests their use for clinical observations. For the last four decades, the search has continued for useful diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers that can enable and guide critical care physicians to precisely distinguish ALI/ARDS from other disorders and to portend disease progression. Quite a few new molecules as biological markers in acute lung inflammation and injury have had clinical applications. The scope of this exhaustive review is to summarize the current status of some biochemical, cellular, physiological markers and role of environmental factors in acute lung inflammation and injury.
