T65.3: Toxic effect: Nitroderivatives and aminoderivatives of benzene and its homologues
You have been poisoned by a substance in the aromates group.
Aromates are substances that are used in the chemical industry, for example. Aromates can occur in dyes and plastics, for example. But they can also be used in drug manufacturing.
The aromates differ in terms of their chemical components and the way they work. Poisoning symptoms depend, for example, on precisely which substance caused the poisoning. Depending on how the substance got into the body, there can also be various symptoms. Aromates can be inhaled, swallowed or absorbed via contact with the skin.
If poisoned, the person can become light-headed or pass out. There may also be nausea and vomiting. If certain aromates get into the body via the skin, the skin or mucous membrane may be irritated.
Some aromates can also affect the blood. The blood may then transport less oxygen from the lungs to the various tissues in the body. If the oxygen supply to the body decreases, you can be short of breath or have a fast heartbeat.
