โœฆ Synopsis

This report describes a case of near-fatal intoxication following accidental exposure to 1,1,1-trichloroethane in a child. This solvent, generally safe, is widely used in industrial and domestic preparations. Exposure to high levels of vapor can result in respiratory depression and/or fatal dysrhythmias. Treatment is generally supportive. Ventilation is maintained to enhance respiratory excretion.

The high-temperature oxidation of 1,1,1-trichloroethane can, under certain conditions, form the highly toxic byproduct phosgene. Potential routes of phosgene formation during the high temperature post-flame oxidation of 1,1,1-trichloroethane are investigated. These include photolysis reactions, hete
