TOX 6 - Aliphatic hydrocarbons and aliphatic halogenated hydrocarbons Flashcards
1
Q
Saturated hydrocarbons effect
A
C1 -> C8 - increased narcotic efficacy (e.g. methane, propane, butane poisoning)
2
Q
Chronic intoxication (sat. hydrocarbons)
A
Glue sniffing
Lungs issues, psychotic reactions, depression, delirium
3
Q
unsaturated hydrocarbons
A
narcotic effect increases with amount of double bonds
increased carbon numbers cause convulsions and hepatotoxicity
4
Q
Aliphatic halogenated hydrocarbons
A
monohalogenated methans - severe CNS toxicity
chloroform
tetrachlor-methan - carbon tetrachloride
5
Q
Treatment
A
Symptomatic
