吸入毒性的汞

作者(年代):罗纳德·Bartzatt

汞是一种银白色roomtemperature liquidmetal波动。在其自由金属状态,汞是最有毒蒸汽。汞化合物都是有毒的不同程度,有机汞化合物比无机有毒化合物。汞在体内的积累会导致脑损伤和影响神经系统。硫汞具有高度的亲和力,从而干扰生理硫含酶。汞中毒与肢体疼痛症有关,水俣病,Hunter-Russell综合症。暴露于汞气体与慢性汞中毒的疾病,特别是有关帽子的职业危害,导致视觉和语言障碍、幻觉、震颤,缺乏协调。汞蒸气很容易吸收,迅速蔓延到全身,包括中枢神经系统和胎盘。吸入高浓度的汞蒸气会导致几小时后,症状包括:发冷、发热、咳嗽、气短、恶心、呕吐和腹泻。为孩子,为慢性或急性暴露ofmercury可以使不利影响任何时期的发展。 In an ideal scenario there is absolutely no mercury in a child’s body. Adverse health affects can be a result ofmercury exposure fromworkplace or residential habitat. Studies of occupational mercury vapor exposure produces long term effects on psychomotor function, increased depression, increased anxiety, and affects on the information processing of nervous system. Mercury inhalation will induce pneumonitis.When broken indoors, light bulbs containingmercury can emit sufficient vapor to present health concerns with multiple bulbs causing even a greater concern. Accordingly, the breakage of larger and numerous bulbs will increase the danger to health. The central nervous systemis considered to be the most sensitive of targets frommercury vapor incursion.
