The Epidemiology of Tri-nitro-toluene Poisoning.

Epidemiology of Tramadol Poisoning in Qaemshahr, Iran

  Background and purpose: Tramadol poisoning is a serious medical emergency and one of the most common causes of drug poisoning. The present study aims to determine the epidemiological features of patients who were served by Qaemshahr pre-hospital emergency care due to tramadol toxicity in 2016. Materials and methods: In this descriptive cross-sectional study, medical records of patients with...

Poisoning by ethyl mercury toluene sulphonanilide.

Poisoning by a fungicide used for seed-borne diseases of cereals, ethyl mercury p-toluene sulphonanilide (Granoson M, Dupont), is described. It affected a large number of farmers and their families who used the dressed seed in the preparation of home-made bread. Many systems were involved, including the kidneys, the gastro-intestinal tract, the skin, the heart, and the muscles, but involvement ...

Myoglobinuria and renal failure in toluene poisoning.

Toluene (methylbenzene) is a colourless liquid used as a solvent in the manufacture of synthetic rubber paint and lacquer as well as trinitrotoluene (Fairhall, 1957). Chronic or acute exposure to high concentrations is known to be toxic and to cause renal and hepatocellular damage (O'Brien, Yeoman, and Hobby, 1971). This report deals with severe myoglobinuria and acute renal failure necessitati...

Using Experimental Design to Optimize the Photo-degradation of P-Nitro Toluene by Nano-TiO2 in Synthetic Wastewater

In this project, the degradation of synthetic wastewater comprising p-nitro toluene (PNT) is investigated using UV/TiO2 process. PNT as a pollutant has a very harmful effect on the environment and human hormones. TiO2 is one of the best metal oxides it has photo catalyst role. The full factorial design (FFD) of experiment is employed to investigate the effect of working va...
