급성 중크롬산 암모늄 중독 1례 = Acute Ammonium Dichromate Poisoning- A Case Report -

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Soluble compounds of chromium are widely used in industrial
processes, including printing, photography, pyrotechnics,
dyeing, electroplating, aircraft, shipbuilding, and
leather tanning. Exposure in industry is generally via the
inhalation of dusts and fumes.
Ingestion of chromium (chromate or dichromate salt) has
occurred accidentally in suicide attempts and during drug
experimentation and may causes ulceration of the bowel,
diarrhea, hemorrhagic diathesis, acute renal failure, and
hepatic damage. Ingestion of hexavalent chromium compounds
is considered to be one hundred times more toxic
than the trivalent compounds. Chromium poisoning in children
is an uncommon, potentially lethal form of poisoning
which could possibly increase in incidence because of the
resumed greater domestic distribution of dichromate in
Korea. We report a case of ammonium dichromate ingestion
by a child that resulted in a healthy discharge.
