Arsine gas poisoning: the importance of exchange transfusions in severe cases.
Arsine (arsineuretted hydrogen, AsH3) was first identified in 1775. It is a colourless, non-irritant gas that smells like garlic. After the initial demonstration of its toxicity in 1815, 454 cases ofpoisoning had been documented by 1974.' To date, a further 16 cases have been described,2 ` including one with permanent renal damage.6 Many cases probably go unrecognised as the attending medical s...
متن کاملHazardous effects of arsine: a short review.
This review details the known health effects of arsine as well as the existing theories on the mechanism by which arsine exerts its toxic effect and conditions of occupational exposure to this gas. Exposure to arsine in occupational settings occurs mostly in the chemical and metallurgical industries when nascent hydrogen reacts with metallic arsenic or arsenic compounds. The available data indi...
متن کاملArsine (arsenic hydride) poisoning in the workplace.
The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) recommends that appropriate workpractices be implemented to reduce the risk of worker exposure to arsine (AsH3) gas. There is a high potential for the generation of arsine gas when inorganic arsenic is exposed to nascent (freshly formed) hydrogen. This recommendation is based on several reports of worker exposure to arsine result...
متن کاملAcute intravascular haemolysis and renal failure due to arsine poisoning.
Two men developed acute intravascular haemolysis after exposure to arsine gas in a metal smelting works. Both survived; one developed acute renal failure and required peritoneal dialysis. His renal function returned to near normal within 3 months. The probable mode of exposure has been investigated and is discussed. The toxic effects of arsine are briefly reviewed. The preventive action taken i...
متن کاملReactive Adsorption of Arsine on Sulfur –containing Carbons: Role of Surface Chemistry in the Oxidation Process at Ambient Conditions
Introduction Arsine is widely involved in the field of semiconductor synthesis as a doping material [1]. Because of its high toxicity, any excess of this gas in the preparation process should be removed. Moreover, arsine appears as a trace contaminant of the syngas used in methanol synthesis and its presence is associated with catalyst poisoning [2]. Considering these two aspects, efficient tec...
