| 영문 | carbon monoxide poisoning | 한글 | 일산화탄소중독 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 일산화탄소의 흡입에 의하여 산화헤모글로빈이 카르복시헤모글로빈으로 변화함으로써 일어나는 중독. 중추신경계장애를 일으키고 죽음에 이르기고 한다. 일산화탄소는 탄소를 함유한 유기물이 불완전연소할 때 발생한다. 따라서 제철, 도시가스 제조, 가정에서 발생하며 자동차 배기가스에도 포함되어 있고 가정에서 연료의 연소에 의해서도 생긴다. 일산화탄소를 흡입하면 폐에서 혈액속의 혈색소와 결합하여 일산화탄소헤모글로빈을 형성하고, 이 때문에 혈액의 산소운반능력이 상실되어 내부적인 질식상태에 빠지게 된다. 일산화탄소와 헤모글로빈과의 친화성은 극히 강하여 산소보다 250배의 세기로 결합한다. 사람에 따라 일산화탄소에 대한 감수성이 다르지만, 공기 속에 0.001%만 들어있어도 중독을 일으킨다. 또 0.06%에서는 1시간만 흡입하면 두통을 일으키고 2시간이면 실신한다. 또 0.1%을 경우는 1시간 이내에 실신하고 4시간이면 사망한다. 중독 증세는 조직의 무산소증에 의한 것으로서, 급성중독은 급격히 사망하는 수도 있지만, 대개는 처음에 두통-현기증-귀울림-구역-구토 등이 있고, 사지의 운동이 불가능하게 되며, 다소의 의식이 남아 있어도 그대로 죽음에 이르게 된다. 타각적으로는 얼굴에 홍조를 띠고 전신에 무늬 모양의 발적이 나타나며, 호흡이 가늘고 불규칙하게 된다. 코를 골고 체온이 내려가고 전신의 근육 이온 등이 보이며, 호흡곤란의 증세가 보이지 않는 중에 호흡이 정지하게 된다. |

| 설명 | 크림이 들어 있는 과자, 커스타드(custards), 치즈와 같은 식품이나, 육류에 황색 포도알균이 생성하는 창자관독이 함유된 것을 섭취하여 일어나는 식중독으로서 갑작스러운 발병, 두통, 침분비, 구역, 구토, 설사, 복부산통 및 땀남을 특징으로 하며, 발작 후 5~6시간 지속한다. |

| pitch poisoning | A highly fatal disease of swine, usually caused by the ingestion of fragments of the clay pigeons used as targets by shooting clubs; some cases have been caused by consumption of other bituminous substances, such as road tar and tar paper. Synonym: clay pigeon poisoning. (05 Mar 2000) |

| wheat pasture poisoning | A highly fatal disease of cows and sheep occurring generally during the first two weeks in the spring after the animals have been out on lush pastures; it is characterised by convulsions, hypomagnesaemia, and usually hypocalcaemia. Synonym: wheat pasture poisoning. (05 Mar 2000) |
| plant poisoning | Poisoning by the ingestion of plants or its leaves, berries, roots or stalks. The manifestations in both humans and animals vary in severity from mild to life threatening. In animals, especially domestic animals, it is usually the result of ingesting moldy or fermented forage. (12 Dec 1998) |
| poisoning | <radiobiology> Buildup of ash and impurities in a fusion plasma tends to reduce the quality of the plasma and reduce the fusion output, this sort of process is sometimes called poisioning the reactor or the plasma. See: ash, impurities. (09 Oct 1997) |
| mushroom poisoning | Poisoning from ingestion of mushrooms, primarily from, but not restricted to, toxic varieties. (12 Dec 1998) |
| crotalaria poisoning | Poisoning of humans and animals with alkaloids of the plants Senecio (ragwort), Crotalaria (rattlebox), and Heliotropum; produces a veno-occlusive disease of the liver similar to Chiari's disease. Synonym: crotalism. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cyanide poisoning | A fairly common disease of herbivorous animals, but uncommon in man. Cyanogenic compounds are very toxic to humans either by inhalation or ingestion. (27 Sep 1997) |
| salmonella food poisoning | Poisoning caused by ingestion of food harboring species of salmonella. Conditions of raising, shipping, slaughtering, and marketing of domestic animals contribute to the spread of this bacterium in the food supply. (12 Dec 1998) |
| salmon poisoning | A disease of dogs and other canids in the northwest coastal region of the U.S., resulting from eating infected salmon and trout from streams flowing into the Pacific Ocean; these fish carry the encysted form or metacercaria of Nanophyetus salmincola, which infects the intestine and carries with it Neorickettsia helmintheca, the actual agent of the disease. Synonym: salmon disease. (05 Mar 2000) |
| salt poisoning | An often fatal disease of animals, especially pigs fed on garbage, resulting from the ingestion of excessive quantities of ordinary table salt, sodium chloride; this usually does not occur if the animals have access to sufficient quantities of fresh drinking water. (05 Mar 2000) |
| scombroid poisoning | Poisoning from ingestion of heat-stable toxins produced by bacterial action on inadequately preserved dark-meat fish of the order Scombroidea (tuna, bonito, mackerel, albacore, skipjack); characterised by epigastric pain, nausea and vomiting, headache, thirst, difficulty in swallowing, and urticaria. (05 Mar 2000) |
| selenium poisoning | Chronic poisoning of horses, cattle, and swine, caused by ingestion of grains and forage raised on soils high in selenium; it occurs only in arid regions, from eating certain plants which are selenium accumulators. (05 Mar 2000) |
| self-poisoning | A disorder resulting from absorption of the waste products of metabolism, decomposed matter from the intestine, or the products of dead and infected tissue as in gangrene. Synonym: autotoxicosis, endogenic toxicosis, enterotoxication, enterotoxism, intestinal intoxication, self-poisoning. (05 Mar 2000) |
