Dr. Wang Mingxuan
Common acute poisonings include gases and pesticides. The most frequent type of gas poisoning is carbon monoxide poisoning. In addition, poisoning by nitrogen, ammonia, formaldehyde, and thinner (such as "Tian Na Shui") can also occur. Among organic and inorganic pesticides, organophosphate pesticide poisoning is the most common, while paraquat poisoning is also seen. Furthermore, some patients experience poisoning related to food intake.
