Poisonous Substances of Asphyxiating Effect

Asphyxiating agents (OS) are dangerous chemicals whose action is characterized by the development of toxic pulmonary edema. These substances, when ingested, can cause serious problems with the respiratory system, leading to impaired gas exchange and, in some cases, death.

O.v. may include a variety of chemicals such as chlorine, phosgene, solvents, fumes and vapors from some industrial chemicals. These substances may be used in industry, military purposes, or result from a fire or accident.

When inhaling toxic substances with a suffocating effect, they enter the lungs and begin to harm the respiratory system. One of the most serious consequences of exposure to these substances is the development of toxic pulmonary edema. Toxic pulmonary edema is characterized by the accumulation of fluid in the lung tissue, which interferes with the normal exchange of gases and reduces the oxygen saturation of the blood.

Symptoms of asphyxiant poisoning may include difficulty breathing, coughing, red and irritated eyes, general weakness and dizziness. In case of serious poisoning, loss of consciousness, convulsions and respiratory arrest may occur.

Treatment of poisoning with asphyxiating toxic substances is based on immediately stopping contact with the substance and providing fresh air to the victim. It is also important to seek medical help as soon as possible. Doctors may use breathing techniques, such as artificial ventilation, and other procedures to remove the substance from the body.

Prevention is the best way to combat poisoning from asphyxiating agents. Strict safety precautions must be followed when working with hazardous chemicals and proper ventilation must be ensured in areas where such substances are used. Proper storage and transportation of chemicals is also important to prevent accidents and poisonings.

In conclusion, asphyxiating agents pose a serious threat to human health and life. Proper handling of hazardous chemicals, employee safety training, and appropriate safety precautions can help prevent poisonings and minimize their consequences. Safety should always be a priority when working with potentially hazardous substances to protect the health and well-being of people.

Toxic substances (CS) with asphyxiating effects are agents whose action is characterized by the rapid development of toxic pulmonary edema or, as is sometimes said, the absence of signs of intoxication during laryngospasm and the rapid development of toxic pulmonary edema. The action of a suffocating type agent causes a latent or initially moderate process of excitation of the receptor apparatus of the trigeminal nerve of the dura mater of the brain or the autonomic nervous system and stimulation of the sensitivity of the respiratory muscles to the parasympathetic part of the autonomic nervous system. The basic mechanisms of biological action have not been sufficiently studied: its toxic effect is not accompanied by pronounced stimulation of the respiratory center, but, on the contrary, can weaken its effect due to
