TY - T1的致命后急性肺部水肿inhalation of fumes from polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) JF - European Respiratory Journal JO - Eur Respir J SP - 1408 LP - 1411 VL - 10 IS - 6 AU - Lee, CH AU - Guo, YL AU - Tsai, PJ AU - Chang, HY AU - Chen, CR AU - Chen, CW AU - Hsiue, TR Y1 - 1997/06/01 UR - //www.qdcxjkg.com/content/10/6/1408.abstract N2 - The cases of three patients with acute pulmonary oedema caused by inhalation of fumes from heated polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) in a plastic factory are described. One patient died from profound hypoxaemia and shock shortly after admission, and the other two patients survived after medical treatment. This is the first report of fatal pulmonary oedema in a worker exposed to PTFE heated in a plastic extruding operation. From this observation, it appears that inhalation exposure to pyrolytic products from polytetrafluoroethylene can cause fatal respiratory complications. Special precautions are warranted in this kind of operation to prevent workers from being exposed to these substances. ER -
