|---|---|---|---|
| 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. |

| carbon monoxide poisoning | Toxic asphyxiation due to the displacement of oxygen from oxyhemoglobin by carbon monoxide. (12 Dec 1998) |
| radiation poisoning | A systemic condition caused by substantial whole-body irradiation, seen after nuclear explosions or accidents, rarely after radiotherapy. Manifestations depend on dose, ranging from anorexia, nausea, vomiting, and mild leukopenia, to thrombocytopenia with haemorrhage, severe leukopenia with infection, anaemia, central nervous system damage, and death. Synonym: radiation poisoning. (05 Mar 2000) |
| paralytic shellfish poisoning toxin carbamoylase | <enzyme> Hydrolytic enzyme from shellfish converts saxitoxin, neosaxitoxin, gonyautoxins 1 - 4 to the corresponding decarbamoyl toxins Registry number: EC 3.1.1.- Synonym: pcp toxin carbamoylase, saxitoxin carbamoylase (26 Jun 1999) |
| mercury poisoning | A disease usually caused by the ingestion of mercury or mercury compounds, which are toxic in relation to their ability to produce mercuric ions; usually acute mercury poisoning is associated with ulcerations of the stomach and intestine and toxic changes in the renal tubules; anuria and anaemia may occur; usually chronic mercury poisoning is a result of industrial poisoning and causes gastrointestinal or central nervous system manifestations including stomatitis, diarrhoea, ataxia, tremor, hyperreflexia, sensorineural impairment, and emotional instability (Mad Hatter syndrome). Synonym: hydrargyria, hydrargyrism, mercurialism. (05 Mar 2000) |
| chocolate poisoning | Poisoning, most commonly of dogs, by ingestion of excessive quantities of chocolate (especially unsweetened baker's chocolate); the causative toxin is theobromine which produces thirst, vomiting, diarrhoea, urinary incontinence, chronic muscle spasms, seizures, and coma.
