Abstract
1 The number of deaths from acute poisoning in England and Wales has remained constant at approximately 4000 per annum for the last 10 years despite major changes in the agents responsible. Deaths due to carbon monoxide and barbiturate and non-barbiturate hypnotics have fallen, while those due to psychotropic and analgesic drugs have risen.Keywords
