Abstract
EXPOSURE to arsine gas is an important environmental health hazard of concern in numerous and diverse occupational circumstances. Arsine causes a rapid and unique hemolysis and may result in oliguric renal failure, which is uniformly fatal without proper therapy. Recent attempts to use geothermal and fossil fuel energy sources high in arsenic content may increase the frequency of arsine exposure. This report is intended as a review of arsine poisoning, with emphasis on its clinical features, pathogenesis and treatment.BackgroundArsine (arseniuretted hydrogen, arsenous hydride or As H3) was identified in 1775, and its toxic properties were dramatically . . .Keywords
