Management of 2, 4- Dichlorophenoxyacetic Acid Intoxication by Hemodialysis: A Case Report

management of 2, 4- dichlorophenoxyacetic acid intoxication by hemodialysis: a case report

background: the herbicide 2, 4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2, 4-d) can cause moderate to lethal poisoning. although urine alkalization has been recommended as the main treatment, hemodialysis (hd) may be more effective in severe cases. case: on 24th june 2014, a 53- year-old man ingested a high amount of 40% 2, 4-d. he suffered from mouth and epigastric burning sensation, vomiting and nausea. h...

2, 4-D Dichlorophenoxyacetic Acid Poisoning; Case Report and Literature Review

Background: 2, 4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid, (2, 4-D) is a selective herbicide available as the acids, esters and several salts which vary in their chemical properties, environmental behaviour, and to a lesser extent toxicity. The salt and ester forms are derivatives of the parent acid. It is widely used as a weed killer. The 2, 4-D dimethylamine is one of the salts of this group. Case Presenta...

photo -chemical degradation of 2, 4- dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2, 4-d) in the effluent

background: 2, 4-dichlorophenoxy acetic acid (2, 4-d) is well known as inexpensive herbicides but it can give rise to undesirable pollution. the objective of this investigation was to describe a photo-chemical system for degradation of 2, 4-d. methods: a designed photolytic cell system was used in this study with a 150w or 400w uv lamp. a set of experiments was carried out at ph 1.5, 2.5, 3.5 a...
