Acute arsenic hydrogen poisoning, resulting in recovery
The operator of the acid workshop S., 40 years old, 19 / V 1967, during a major overhaul, was cleaning the collector from under oleum (98% sulfuric acid): being in the collector, for 1.5 hours she shoveled the sludge into an iron bucket with a wooden shovel. The victim was wearing a gas mask, but she took it off twice for 5-10 minutes. When sludge containing sulfuric acid interacts with iron, free hydrogen was released. The latter combined with arsenic in the sludge, forming arsenous hydrogen, which caused acute intoxication in the apparatus operator.
