|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 유해물질에 오염된 음식물을 먹음으로써 일어나는 일군의 급성질환이며, 주로 발열-구역질-구토-설사-복통 등의 증세가 나타난다. 입을 통한 전염병이나 기생충병 등은 여기에 포함되지 않는다. 식중독을 원인물질에 따라 분류하면 세균성 식중독, 화학성 식중독, 자연독 식중독, 미생물 독성대사물질에 의한 식중독으로 구분할 수 있다. 각 부류에 속하는 독성물질은 그 종류가 매우 많으며, 독성물질은 당장 건강을 해칠만한 양이 아니라 하더라도 많은 식품 중에 널리 분포되어 있어서 만성중독-발암성-돌연변이 유발성-기형유발성-알레르기성 반응을 일으키는 원인이 될 수도 있다. 식중독의 대부분은 세균에 의하여 생기는 세균성 식중독으로서, 여기에는 살모넬라-장비브리오-웰치균-병원대장균에 의한 감염형 식중독과 포도알균, 보톨리누스균이 생성한 독소에 의한 독소형 식중독이 있다. 감염형 식중독은 살아 있는 유해세균을 다량으로 먹음으로써 일어나는 것이므로 식품을 가열해서 먹으면 세균은 사멸해 버리기 때문에 중독되는 일이 없다. 그러나 독소형 식중독은 세균은 죽어도 독소는 그대로 남아 있으므로 음식물을 가열해도 남은 독소가 중독을 일으키는 경우이다. 화학성 식중독은 화학물질에 의한 것으로서 근래에 들어와 화학공업의 발달로 화학적 합성품의 대량생산이 가능해지고 이들이 식품공업이나 농업분야에 다량으로 사용되면서 심각한 문제로 등장하였다. 특히 식품가공과정 중에 사용한 불법식품첨가물, 잔류농약-산업폐수에 의한 식품의 중금속오염, 또는 식품과 관련이 있는 각종 용기-기구-포장 등에서 용출되는 독성물질이 문제가 된다. |

| proxy, health care | A health care proxy is one form of advance medical directive. Advance medical directives preserve the person's right to accept or reject a course of medical treatment even after that person becomes mentally or physically incapacitated to the point of being unable to communicate those wishes. There are two basic forms of advance directives: 1. A living will, in which the person outlines specific treatment guidelines that are to be followed by health care providers. 2. A health care proxy (also called a power of attorney for health-care decision-making) in which the person designates a trusted individual to make medical decisions in the event that he or she becomes too incapacitated to make such decisions. Advance directive requirements vary greatly from one jurisdiction to another and should therefore be drawn up in consultation with an attorney who is familiar with the laws of the particular jurisdiction.
