Centro de Documentacion de Fundación MAPFRE - Inhalation of hydrogen sulphide : a case of subacute manifestations and long term sequelae

Notas: Sumario: Accidents to agricultural workers using storage facilities for liquid manure, mainly in swine confinement buildings, have been described. Fermentation of organic matter releases toxic gases such as hydrogen sulphide, ammonia, methane, and carbon monoxide. Usually the concentrations of these gases exceed their threshold limit values in the confinement buildings. A liquid manure pit may be another source of serious theat when the pit is entered without preventive mesures. We report a related accident in non-rural circumstances and describe a peculiar clinical manifestationRegistros relacionados: En: British journal of industrial medicine. - London and Margate. - nº 4, April 1991 ; p. 286-287Materia / lugar / evento: Medicina laboral Enfermedades profesionales Vías respiratorias Gases tóxicos Sulfuro de hidrógeno Otros autores: Parra, Olga
