| Resumen |
29 of 31 crew members became acutely ill after inhaling the fumigant phosphine aboard a grain freighter. The main symptoms were headache, fatigue, nausea, vomiting, jaundice, paraesthesia, ataxia, intention tremor, and diplopia. Phosphine gas had escaped from the holds through a cable housing located near the midships ventilation intake and around hatch covers on the forward deck. Details are given of medical history and physical examination, laboratory data, follow-up studies, and an environmental survey. |
