Vomiting chlorine exposure

Gastrointestinal Effects. Case reports indicate that acute inhalation exposure to trichloroethylene results in nausea and vomiting (Buxton and Hayward 1967 Clearfield 1970 David et al. 1989 DeFalque 1961 Gutch et al. 1965 Milby 1968). Anorexia, nausea, vomiting, and intolerance to fatty foods have also been reported after chronic occupational exposure to trichloroethylene (El Ghawabi et al. 1973 Schattner and Malnick 1990 Smith 1966). Trichloroethylene-induced efiects on the autonomic nervous system may contribute to these effects (Grandjean et al. 1955). Some of the people exposed to trichloroethylene and other chlorinated... 

Also observed were peak emissions of total oxidant of >20 mg m-3. This led to odour complaints. It is known that short-term exposure can lead to irritation of the eyes, nose, throat and skin with headache and vomiting symptoms. Chronic exposure to chlorine dioxide can lead to chronic bronchitis and emphysema. 

Chlorine is a pungent suffocating gas, exposure to which can cause irritation of the eyes, nose and throat burning of mouth coughing choking nausea, vomiting dizziness and respiratory distress. Exposure to 15—20 ppm of chlorine in air can cause irritation and coughing. A 30 minute exposure to... 

Immediate effects of exposure to chlorine include choking, coughing, dyspnea, nausea, vomiting, anxiety, loss of consciousness, and eye and nasal irritation (Abhyankar et al. 1989 Beach et al. 1969 Chasis et al. 1947 Moulick et...

CN is a white solid with low vapor pressure that can be dispensed as a fine powder or as a jet or stream of solution from small or large spray tanks, as well as aerosols or smokes by pyrotechnic generation. Its solubility in water is limited, but it is soluble in organic and chlorinated organics. Exposure of eyes, nose, mouth, skin, and respiratory tract produces irritation and pain. If swallowed, CN may produce vomiting. 

Chlorine is a severely irritating gas, causing irritation of the eyes, nose, and throat. Exposure also causes burning of the mouth, coughing, choking, nausea, vomiting, headache, dizziness, pneumonia, muscle weakness, respiratory distress, and pulmonary edema. A 30-minute exposure to 500-800 ppm can be fatal to humans. Chronic exposure to concentrations around 5 ppm have produced corrosion of the teeth, inflammation of the mucous membranes, respiratory ailments, and increased susceptibility to tuberculosis among workers (Patty 1963). 

Chlorine pentafluoride is a highly toxic gas. It is a severe irritant to the eyes, skin, and mucous membranes. Exposure can cause lacrimation, corneal damage, skin bum, and lung damage. Other symptoms are nausea, vomiting, and dyspnea. The liquid is highly corrosive to skin, causing painful bums.
