Fatal Chemical Peritonitis due to Sulphuric Acid Ingestion
نویسنده
چکیده
Sulphuric acid is a strong corrosive and is widely used in laboratories, industries, and even in households. In addition to incidents of accidental poisoning, its easy availability has seen it being employed not uncommonly as a suicidal and homicidal agent. A case is presented wherein sulphuric acid was consumed to commit suicide, which ended in fatality, even though immediate and adequate medical treatment was provided.

متن کاملCluster activation theory as an explanation of the linear dependence between formation rate of 3 nm particles and sulphuric acid concentration
According to atmospheric observations new particle formation seems to be a function of sulphuric acid concentration to the power from one to two. The nucleation theorem then predicts that the critical cluster contains one to two sulphuric acid molecules. However, existing nucleation theories predicts that the power is more (or equal) than 2. Here we present an activation theory, which can expla...
