| Abstract |
Twelve of the most unusual industrial toxins are reviewed and their clinical manifestations and treatments explored: acetonitrile (laboratory reagent, solvent; primary toxicity due to its delayed metabolism to cyanide); acrylonitrile (commonly used; interesting toxicology); boron hydrides (rocket fuels; toxic); dimethylaminopropionitrile (DMAPN, used as a catalyst in the chemical industry); dimethylformamide (widely used solvent; hepatotoxic); hydrazines (rocket and jet fuels, corrosion inhibitors etc; serious toxic effects); methyl isocyanate (intermediate in insecticide manufacturing; extremely toxic); 2-nitropropane (solvent, many other uses; hepatotoxic); phosphine (pesticide; toxic); stalinon and other organotin compounds (mostly of historical interest); tellurium (metal used as an alloy component, other uses; toxic); vanadium (trace metal used in alloys, other uses; toxic). |
