You have probably heard of a condition suffering from workers in mercury poisoning, mines and other industrial industries, which gradually makes the victims mad. Dementite mercury, or organic mercury poisoning, however, is a different ball game. Only a few people have been poisoned from this terrible thing in history, and they all died quickly and seriously.
This episode of Chubbyemu One tells the story of one of these cases, in which a professor researched exposure to toxic metal, in 1996 one day a few milliliters dimethyl mercury dropped on his gloved hand. Professor KW, as he knows, does not die or falls ill immediately. Instead, severa during el month, he started facing problems with balance and speech. He eventually went to the emergency room, where it came to know that he was suffering from mercury poisoning. Doctors attempted to get rid of the mercury's blood through the circulation, a process that removes heavy metals from the body. Within a few months, he was dead.
So what did KW gloves do their work, and why did she die? Wearing KW latex gloves, it turned out; he was not resistant to the chemicals used. Dementite mercury was able to rotate through gloves and absorb in its skin. Unlike most cases of mercury poisoning, KW was not disclosed during months or years, it was a moment and probably next hour when she did not know that the chemistry was soaked through gloves-which would ruin her was there.
The problem in using the case in this case was that the majority of mercury in the KW system was not in its blood stream. Although the level of the common man of mercury in her blood was 4,000 times, only 5% of the mercury in her body was in his blood stream. Diethyl mercury, unlike the original mercury, is lipophilic. This means that it easily mixes fat in the body. Unfortunately for KW, most of his body mercury went straight to one of the fatty organs: brain. The brain is approximately 60 percent is fat , and each neuron needs a fatty myelin sheath to disseminate impulses. Mercury not only destroyed the neurons in KW's mind, but in its entire nervous system.
Within a few weeks of entering the ER, KW was in the state of cometos. Six months later, he was removed from life support and died in less than a year after the initial contact with Mercury.
Because he was an expert in this matter, KW ensured that he had not died in vain. His death prompted him to rewrite security standards to deal with dimethylmercury. Now, scientists should use highly resistant plastic laminated gloves under neoprene gloves for extra protection, and it is recommended that dimethylmercury should not be used at all.
Hopefully, thanks to these modifications, KW to die this matter shall be final person.
