Abstract |
Two fatal poisonings resulting from exposure to 1,1,1-trichloroethane are described. Each case occurred at a separate workplace where the solvent was used as a degreasing agent. These cases are considered in light of other 1,1,1-trichloroethane poisonings reported to Her Majesty's Factory Inspectorate. Factors common to these and other incidents are discussed.
