Poisoning with alkylmercury compounds.

Poisoning by methyl mercury compounds.

In 1940 Hunter and others, reporting on cases of poisoning by methyl mercury compounds, showed that those working with certain organic mercury derivatives are exposed to great danger. In 1945 Herner collated the cases of poisoning by alkyl mercury compounds recorded in' the literature. The seven cases hitherto published show a characteristic clinical picture beginning with a sensation of numbne...

Antioxidants in organophosphorus compounds poisoning.

Oxidative stress has recently been implicated as a factor in the mortality and morbidity induced by organophosphorus (OP) compound poisoning. An overwhelming number of research papers are based on studying at the cellular and organ level. Such studies have concluded that antioxidants can be used as an adjunct compound in the treatment of both chronic as well as acute OP poisoning. Still, the ro...

determination of alkylmercury compounds and phenylmercury in water and sediments by g.c.employing mocified westoo method

method previously employed by westoo for the determination of alkylmercury compounds was producing very wide picks during g.c. analyses. changing the column temperature, carrier gas flow and pressure did not supersede the problem. therefore change in packing materials was experienced. 5% dc-200 on gas-chrom did not work. a packing material used for chlorinated hydrocarbons w, 80-100 mesh. as th...
