Abstract
Most persons who are accidentally poisoned inhale a toxic gas. Carbon monoxide accounts for 95 percent of deaths from gases, but ammonia, chlorine, nitrous dioxide, smog and smoke also occasionally kill. Other agents that cause problems in industry and agriculture are corrosive chemicals, metallic solutions and cholinesterase-inhibiting insecticides.Keywords
