ABSTRACT
One day in July 1991, 78 people became victims of accidental alimentary intoxication in a factory in Hebei Province, China. Related samples, including rodenticide bait, the artificial carbonic kidneys used for the treatment of the victims, and the victims' blood, were analyzed by GC/MS. Tetramine [80-12-6], a highly toxic rodenticide, was identified as the toxicant. The effectiveness of artificial carbonic kidneys was evaluated. The analytical results revealed that detoxification of the patients was effective 48 hours after intoxication by percolating their blood through artificial carbonic kidneys.
