Discussion on Gas-Poisoning

Facts about Gas Poisoning

on this subject, perhaps you will allow me to point out that, although every new coal-gas fatality brings yet louder protests from an anxious public, yet it is obvious that the facts are still not generally understood. Carbon monoxide, the poisonous constituent, has always formed a part of coal-gas since it was first introduced to the public service. The impression that the Companies have recen...

Poisoning by "Mustard" Gas

Vanadium poisoning from gas turbines.

Vanadium pentoxide poisoning has been described in men working in plants processing vanadium ore by Symanski (1939) and Sjoberg (1950), and twice (Wyers, 1946; Williams, 1952) in men exposed to the soot of fuel oil burned in boilers. It does not, however, appear to have been described before in men who work on gas turbines. Since these may become much more common in the future as sources of pow...

Electroencephalographic studies on liquefied petroleum gas poisoning in rabbits.

KOMURA, S., UEDA, M. and FUJIMURA, K. Electroencephalographic Studies on Liquefied Petroleum Gas Poisoning in Rabbits. Tohoku J. exp. Med., 1973, 111 (1), 33-40 -Rabbits were put into a special box which had a gas-exit and an upperpositioned gas-inlet, from which the Japanese Industrial Standard No. 3 Liquefied Petroleum Gas (L.P.G.) was distributed on equal proportion. The changes in the behav...

Cosmic - Ray Anomalies Inspired Some Discussion on Modified Chaplygin Gas

The postulation of dark energy and dark matter on the basis of observational results does not end the mystery of their existence. Theoretically new insights into dark matter have been achieved analysing recent experimental data from the cosmic -ray physics. It has been shown that, if the dark matter is a hidden scalar field, then it is not only possible to explain the ATIC / PPB-BETS excess but...
