Resumen 23 workers were briefly exposed to high levels of potassium arsenite when the gas washing tower at an ammonia plant collapsed. The urinary arsenic concentration was initially high but returned to normal in a few days. Most symptoms were non-specific and had disappeared at the 2nd follow-up. Electroencephalographic, electromyographic, and hearing function tests showed a number of pathological results. There was involvement of central vestibular pathways and neuropathy of the lower limbs.
