Abstract

1. A 27-year-old, previously healthy, worker accidentally drank a solution containing 1,3-dichloropropene. 2. He developed gastrointestinal distress, adult respiratory distress syndrome, haematological and hepatorenal functional impairment and died after 40 h. 3. Damage to the pancreas was also thought to have been caused by the chemical as part of a multiorgan disorder.
