This document discusses common household poisons such as bleach, hydrogen peroxide, detergents, acids, alkalies, hydrocarbons, cosmetics, and other products. It describes the clinical effects of these substances including hypochlorite from bleach causing tissue damage and hydrogen peroxide causing oxygen gas formation. Hydrocarbons like gasoline can spread rapidly and cause aspiration pneumonitis or be absorbed and cause central nervous system or liver toxicity. Recreational inhalation of halogenated hydrocarbons by adolescents can cause euphoria and heart sensitization. Mothballs contain naphthalene which can cause hemolytic anemia and kidney damage.

HYDROCARBONS
• Hydrocarbon liquids with low viscosity such as
gasoline and mineral oil can spread rapidly over
large surface areas and are more likely to cause
aspiration pneumonitis than the hydrocarbons
more viscous like tar cause local effects.
• If ingested in large amounts, may be absorbed
systemically and cause CNS or hepatic toxicity,
which is more likely with halogenated
hydrocarbons (eg, carbon tetrachloride,
trichloroethylene).

20. • Recreational inhalation of halogenated
hydrocarbons e.g, glues, paint, solvents,
cleaning sprays, gasoline, fluorocarbons used
as refrigerants or propellants in aerosols is
common among adolescents.
• It can cause euphoria and mental status
changes and can sensitize the heart to
endogenous catecholamines.
