Toxic peripheral neuropathy from industrial poisons

Many raw materials, intermediate products and final products in industrial production are toxic to humans and are called industrial poisons. Some of them can selectively damage peripheral nerves and cause toxic peripheral neuropathy. During the production, transportation, storage and use of industrial poisons, due to improper protection, poisons can be absorbed through the respiratory tract and skin, causing so-called occupational toxic peripheral neuropathy. There are many types of industrial poisons that can cause peripheral neuropathy, including the following categories: 1. Metals and metalloids such as lead, bismuth, antimony, thallium, mercury, arsenic and their compounds. 2. Organic solvents or organic compounds benzene, gasoline, methanol, n-hexane, methyl n-butyl ketone, carbon disulfide, trinitrophenol, carbon tetrachloride, trichloroethylene, chloropropene, and methyl bromide. 3. High molecular polymers vinyl chloride, styrene, acrylamide, butadiene. 4. Choking gas carbon monoxide. 5. Pesticide organic phosphorus, urethanes.
