This metalloid is known to cause chronic pulmonary fibrosis as an autoimmune attack on the skin and lungs
Berryllium
This metalloid most commonly causes lung cancer
Asbestos
This metalloid may also cause nephroblastom or renal failure
Cadmium
Name three heavy metals.
LAM
lead
Arsenic
Mercury
Oldest heavy metal occupational and environmental poison.
Lead
Give the route,
Industrial LEAD poisoning
Non-industrial LEAD poisoning
Industrial - respi
Non-industri - gastro
This type of lead is mainly found on paints, foods, drinks and industrial fumes
Inorganic lead
This lead is commonly used before as an antiknock additive in gasoline
Inorganic lead
Can be universally given if one does not know the name of poison as an antidote
IM DIMERCAPROL
This causes oliguric renal failure, hence hemoglobinuria
Organic arsenic
Used as an intravenous drug for inorganic lead poisoning
Calcium disodium edetate
This mettalloid mainly causes pneumonia or fibrosis in WELDERS.
Cadmium
Oral derivative of succinic acid used as antidote for inorganic lead poisoning
Succimer
Between types of arsenic, which cannot be treated with chelation
Organic arsenic.
Type of arsenic wherein which hemodialysis is the ultimate treatment
Organic arsenic
Aside from lead, this heavy metal can pr esent with basophilic stippling
Inorganic arsenic
Inorganic can be treated with UNITHIOL and DIMERCAPRIOL but ni oral form is available. T or F
True
Between the types of lead, skin exposure is poorly absorbed
Inorganic,
This heavy metal presents with raindrop hyperpigmentation of the skin
Inorganic arsenic
Give the triad for chronic mercury poisoning
NTG
neuropsych disturbances
tremor
gingivostomatitis
