Formation of chlorinated lipids post-chlorine gas exposure.
Exposure to chlorine (Cl2) gas can occur during accidents and intentional release scenarios. However, biomarkers that specifically indicate Cl2 exposure and Cl2-derived products that mediate postexposure toxicity remain unclear. We hypothesized that chlorinated lipids (Cl-lipids) formed by direct reactions between Cl2 gas and plasmalogens serve as both biomarkers and mediators of post-Cl2 gas e...
متن کاملReactive airway disease after chlorine gas exposure.
We read with great interest in the September 1991 issue of Chest the case report by Moore and Sherman.’ Chlorine gas exposure has multiple toxic effects on the respiratory system, including immediate airflow obstruction, ARDS, and death. The long-term effects can include abnormalities in gas transfer, restriction, and airflow obstruction. These generally resolve with time to a variable degree. ...
متن کاملChlorine Gas Exposure Manifesting Acute Lung Injury
Chlorine is a yellowish-green gas with a pungent, irritating odor. It is intermediate water-soluble and can cause acute damage to both upper and lower respiratory tracts. Its toxicity is thought to be mediated by the generation of hydrogen chloride upon contact with moist mucous membrane and by the formation of free radicals at the cellular level. Toxic exposures to chlorine were first reported...
متن کاملAcute health effects of accidental chlorine gas exposure
OBJECTIVES This study was conducted to report the course of an accidental release of chlorine gas that occurred in a factory in Gumi-si, South Korea, on March 5, 2013. We describe the analysis results of 2 patients hospitalized because of chlorine-induced acute health problems, as well as the clinical features of 209 non-hospitalized patients. METHODS We analyzed the medical records of the 2 ...
متن کاملChlorine gas exposure increases susceptibility to invasive lung fungal infection.
Chlorine (Cl₂) is a highly irritating and reactive gas with potential occupational and environmental hazards. Acute exposure to Cl₂ induces severe epithelial damage, airway hyperreactivity, impaired alveolar fluid clearance, and pulmonary edema in the presence of heightened inflammation and significant neutrophil accumulation in the lungs. Herein, we investigated whether Cl₂ exposure affected t...
