  2. Acid attack - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acid_attack

    A 37-year-old acid attack victim from Tabriz, Iran. An acid attack, [1] also called acid throwing, vitriol attack, or vitriolage, is a form of violent assault [2] [3] [4] involving the act of throwing acid or a similarly corrosive substance onto the body of another "with the intention to disfigure, maim, torture, or kill". [5]

  3. Ethylene glycol poisoning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethylene_glycol_poisoning

    The formation of acid metabolites also causes inhibition of other metabolic pathways, such as oxidative phosphorylation. [7] The kidney toxicity of ethylene glycol occurs 24 to 72 hours post ingestion and is caused by a direct cytotoxic effect of glycolic acid. The glycolic acid is then metabolized to glyoxylic acid and finally to oxalic acid.

  4. Methanol toxicity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methanol_toxicity

    When the body breaks down methanol it results in the creation of metabolite byproducts such as formaldehyde, formic acid, and formate which cause much of the toxicity. [2] The diagnosis may be suspected when there is acidosis or an increased osmol gap and confirmed by directly measuring blood levels.

  5. List of highly toxic gases - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_highly_toxic_gases

    Many gases have toxic properties, which are often assessed using the LC 50 (median lethal concentration) measure. In the United States, many of these gases have been assigned an NFPA 704 health rating of 4 (may be fatal) or 3 (may cause serious or permanent injury), and/or exposure limits (TLV, TWA/PEL, STEL, or REL) determined by the ACGIH professional association.

    In further studies, they hope to address challenges in applying the findings to humans of various age groups and determine the appropriate dosage of the liver acid. “People have long sought an ...

  7. LSD - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LSD

    Lysergic acid diethylamide, commonly known as LSD (from German Lysergsäure-diethylamid), is a potent psychedelic drug that intensifies thoughts, emotions, and sensory perception. [12] Often referred to as acid or lucy, LSD can cause mystical, spiritual, or religious experiences.

  8. Cyanide poisoning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyanide_poisoning

    Cyanide poisoning can result from the ingestion of cyanide salts, imbibing pure liquid prussic acid, skin absorption of prussic acid, intravenous infusion of nitroprusside for hypertensive crisis, [8] or the inhalation of hydrogen cyanide gas. The last typically occurs through one of three mechanisms:

  9. Chlorine gas poisoning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chlorine_gas_poisoning

    Once inhaled, chlorine gas diffuses into the epithelial lining fluid (ELF) of the respiratory epithelium and may directly interact with small molecules, proteins and lipids there and damage them, or may hydrolyze to hypochlorous acid and hydrochloric acid which in turn generate chloride ions and reactive oxygen species; the dominant theory is ...
