Poisonous by inhalation

Acrylonitrile (Vinyl cyanide) CH,CHCN Closely resembles HCN in toxic action Poisonous by inhalation, ingestion or skin absorption Emits cyanides when heated or contacted by acids or acid fumes Symptoms flushed face, irritation of eyes and nose, nausea etc. Colourless flammable liquid with mild, faintly pungent odour Elash point 0°C. Dilute water solutions also have low flash points... 

Sodium cyanide NaCN Poisonous by inhalation, ingestion or skin absorption Do not handle with bare hands Releases HCN slowly with water, more rapidly with acids Nonflammable white granules, fused pieces or eggs Odourless when dry slight almond odour in damp air Completely water soluble... 

Toxicity. PBXs, per se, are not highly toxic, but careless handling of the expls or their constituents (see Table 2) can cause systemic poisoning by inhalation of dust or vapor, by ingestion, or by contact with the skin... 

All cases of ingestion should be referred to a doctor and/or hospital without delay. Poisoning by inhalation Refer to Table 11.17. 

Elemental Be and its compounds are very poisonous by inhalation or intravenous route. Chronic inhalation of beryUium dusts or fumes can cause a serious lung disease, beryUiosis, after a latent period ranging from several months to many years. Inhalation of airborne dusts can also cause an acute disease manifested as dyspnea, pneumonitis and tracheobronchitis with a short latency period of a few days. Skin contact with soluble salts of the metal can cause dermatitis. Beryllium also is a carcinogen. There is sufficient evidence of its inducing cancer in animals and humans. 

The toxicology of RuO has been summarised it may give off toxic RuO vapour when heated, and is poisonous by inhalation and mildly so by ingestion [238]. Thermodynamic data have been given for anhydrous and hydrated RuO [230]. 

With exposure to poisons by inhalation, the basic principle is to remove the patient to a well ventilated area. With dermal exposure, and skin contamination. 

During the latter half of World War I and the early postwar years, there was serious concern that men poisoned by inhalation of chlorine, phosgene, and mustard (the three most common and deadly agents) would develop tuberculosis and cancer. Limited studies were begun, but it proved difficult to produce evidence to support the idea. Achard, Wilson and Mackintosh,Sergent and Haas,6 ...

CAUTION Hydrogen sulfide is a poison by inhalation, is extremely flammable and can ignite on contact with a range of metal oxides. Handle in a fume hood. 

CAUTTON Chloromethyl methyl ether (Mom-Cl) is a poison by inhalation and is a suspected human carcinogen. Appropriate safety precautions and procedures should be adopted when handling this substance.

Cyanides are also used in laboratories. At one time it was used to destroy wasps nests and to fumigate buildings, but when this led to accidental poisonings other chemicals were used instead. Volatile cyanides can be released when certain materials burn, notably pol5mrethane foam, which means that people trapped in fires may suffer from cyanide poisoning by inhaling the fumes. 

Symptoms of abrin inhalation are similar to ricin exposure. Initial symptoms of abrin poisoning by inhalation may occur within 8 h of exposure. Symptoms include respiratory distress, fever, cough, nausea, and tightness in the chest. Heavy sweating may follow as well as pulmonary edema. Finally, low blood pressure and respiratory failure may occur, leading to death (Ellenhom and Barceloux, 1997 Kortepeter and Parker, 1999 Eitzen et al., 2001). 

Flammable Liquid, Corrosive SAFETY PROFILE Poison by inhalation. Moderately toxic by ingestion. A human systemic irritant by inhalation. Violent hydrolysis reaction with water or steam produces heat, acetic acid, HCl, and other corrosive chlorides. May decompose during preparation. Dangerous fire hazard when exposed to heat or flame. Explosion hazard by spontaneous chemical reaction with dimethyl sulfoxide or ethanol. Also incompatible with PCI3. When heated to decomposition it emits highly toxic fumes of phosgene and Cl . To fight fire, use CO2 or dry chemical. See also CHLORIDES. 

SAFETY PROFILE Poison by inhalation, ingestion, and intraperitoneal routes. An eye and skin irritant and a narcotic. 

DOT CLASSIFICATION 6.1 Label KEEP AWAY FROM FOOD SAFETY PROFILE Poison by inhalation, ingestion, subcutaneous, and intraperitoneal routes. The nitrile group will behave as a cyanide when ingested or absorbed in the body. It produces disturbances of the respiration and circulation, irritation of the stomach and intestines, and loss of weight. Its low vapor pressure at room temperature makes exposure to harmful concentrations of its vapors unlikely if handled with reasonable care in weU-ventilated areas. 

SAFETY PROFILE Poison by inhalation, ingestion, intraperitoneal, and skin contact routes. Human systemic effects by inhalation lacrymation and lung effects. A systemic irritant. Mutation data reported. A severe eye and skin irritant. Extraordinary precautions against fumes are advised. 

SAFETY PROFILE Poison by inhalation and ingestion. Corrosive. Dangerous when exposed to heat, open flame (or sparks), or powerful oxidizers. Can react with oxidizing materials. To fight fire, use alcohol foam, spray or mist, dry chemical. When heated to decomposition it emits toxic fumes of CL. See also ALLYL COMPOUNDS and ESTERS. 

ACGIH TLV TWA 2 mg(Al)/m3 DOT CLASSIFICATION 4.3 Label Dangerous When Wet, Poison SAFETY PROFILE A human poison by inhalation and ingestion. Dangerous in contact with water, steam, or alkali it slowly yields PH3, which is spontaneously flammable in air. Explosive reaction on contact with mineral acids produces phosphine. When heated to decomposition it yields toxic POx. See also ALUMINUM COMPOUNDS, PHOSPHIDES, and PHOSPHINE.
