Industrial gases, fumigants, etc.: what are they?

Lots of industrial gases, fumigants and volatile solvents are used in the industry and some of them can be encountered in everyday life. They have different physical, chemical characteristics, so they also vary in Of toxicity. Few experienced physicians are able to report on the dangers and the treatment in case of human exposure to any of these substances.

If a subject is suspected of being exposed to gases or vapors, she should be removed from the contaminated atmosphere. When inhalation of vapors can be traced to volatile liquids spilled on clothing, the patient should be undressed and the skin washed. Only for a few cases of poisoning are there specific therapeutic measures to be taken. Inpatient therapy should be primarily supportive with special attention to the respiratory and cardiovascular systems.
