Methylene chloride poisoning in a cabinet worker.
More than a million workers are at risk for methylene chloride exposure. Aerosol sprays and paint stripping may also cause significant nonoccupational exposures. After methylene chloride inhalation, significant amounts of carbon monoxide are formed in vivo as a metabolic by-product. Poisoning predominantly affects the central nervous system and results from both carboxyhemoglobin formation and ...
متن کاملCarbon monoxide poisoning secondary to inhaling methylene chloride.
This patient had clear evidence of ectopic adrenocorticotrophic hormone syndrome secondary to oat-cell carcinoma of lung. In association with this and as an initial feature she had a spontaneous cure of lifelong psoriasis. We think that these two events were related and can find no other reports of this unusual phenomenon. Just as the onset of certain skin lesions may herald an underlying neopl...
متن کاملMethylene chloride burns.
A young man was asked to clean out the residues of an acetate methylene chloride mixture from the sides and bottom of an open vessel some 3ft (1 m) in diameter and 3ft 6ins (1-2 m) deep. He was instructed to use a detergent, hot water, scrubbing brush, and a scraper for the job, but as he had seen the maintenance engineer cleaning the pipework of acetate residue with methylene chloride, he deci...
متن کاملMeasurement of methylene chloride.
I read with great interest the paper ‘Characteristics of peaks of inhalation exposure to organic solvents’ (Preller et al., 2004). I noticed that the authors used the MiniRAE Plus Professional Photoionization Detector (PID) (RAE Systems USA) to measure the total organic solvents exposure. My company, Shawcity Ltd, has represented RAE Systems in the UK for 10 years, and we are therefore very fam...
متن کاملTreatment of methylene chloride induced carbon monoxide poisoning with hyperbaric oxygenation.
Methylene chloride is an organic solvent with many industrial uses. Inhalation of methylene chloride fumes can result in toxicity, caused by hepatic biotransformation of methylene chloride to carbon monoxide. A case of acute methylene chloride poisoning is presented, including successful treatment of this patient with the use of hyperbaric oxygenation. The rationale for the use of hyperbaric ox...
