Soon after production began, TEL was held responsible for a high incidence of illness and deaths among production workers at both the DuPont and Jersey Standard plants. The substance penetrated the skin to cause lead poisoning. Starting in late 1924, there were forty-five cases of lead poisoning and four fatalities at Jersey Standard s Bayway production plant. Additional deaths occurred at the DuPont Plant and at the Dayton Laboratory. This forced the suspension of the sale of TEL ill 1925 and the first half of 1926. [Pg.550]

Natural resources are also affected by environmental lead contamination, and some wildlife species numbers may be reduced as a result. For example, waterfowl deaths resulting from the ingestion of spent lead shot pellets from shotgun shells were discovered more than 100 years ago in Italy and in the United States since then, lead poisoning of waterfowl has occurred in 20 countries (Pain et al. 1995). In North America alone, approximately 3000 tons of lead shot are expended annually into lakes, marshes, and estuaries by several million waterfowl hunters (USFWS 1986,... [Pg.236]

Phosgene is very poisonous so insidious that it was used as a war gas in World War 1. One deep breath can cause immediate collapse and death, and as it is not irritating there is no gag reflex to prevent one from taking that deep breath. Doses which are not high enough to be immediately lethal may not be noticed at till at the time of exposure, yet lead to death within 24 hours. Sub-lethal doses cause pulmonary edema and serious respiratory disability again, the symptoms can appear well after an exposure which was hardly noticed. [Pg.125]

Unfortunately, many older homes (built prior to 1950) have several coats of lead-based paints that flake off, which then may be ingested by children, causing various degrees of lead poisoning, including mental retardation or even death. [Pg.206]

Plutonium is by far one of the most toxic radioactive poisons known. The metal, its alloys, and its compounds must be handled in a shielded and enclosed glove box that contains an inert argon atmosphere. It is a carcinogen that can cause radiation poisoning leading to death. [Pg.321]

Nephropathy has been associated with chronic lead poisoning. " A study of two large cohorts of heavily exposed lead workers followed through 1980 demonstrated a nearly threefold excess of deaths attributed to chronic nephritis or other hypertensive disease, primarily kidney disease. Most of the excess deaths occurred before 1970, among men who began work before 1946, suggesting that current lower levels of exposure may reduce the risk. Experimental animal studies suggest there may be a threshold for lead nephrotoxicity, and in workers, nephropathy occurred only in those with blood levels over 62p,g/dl for up to 12 years."... [Pg.421]

Mushroom poisoning requires serious medical intervention because muscarine absorbs well in the gastrointestinal tract, and therefore it can lead to death. Muscarine is considerably more powerful than acetylcholine, possibly because of its high stability. Because it is... [Pg.183]
