Public Health"],"abstract":"<jats:p>We report a rare incident of acute arsine poisoning when cleaning an industrial purifier to enhance awareness for the prevention of arsine poisoning incidents in the family-run workshop. In this incident, three workers of a family-run cleaning workshop developed symptoms of headache, abdominal pain, chills, fatigue, and hematuria after cleaning an industrial purifier, with a latency period 4\u20136\u202fh after exposure. Field investigations and laboratory tests were used to investigate the poisoning incident. Red blood cell counts and levels of hemoglobin, alanine transaminase, and urinary arsenic (As) increased, and urinary protein and occult blood tests indicated strongly positive results. The cleaning workshop undertook no effective measures to prevent occupational poisoning. The As concentration in flame retardants, dust on the surface of the industrial purifier, and water in the soaking pool was 269\u202fmg\/kg, 1.72\u202f\u00d7\u202f10<jats:sup>5<\/jats:sup>\u202fmg\/kg, and 6.89\u202f\u00d7\u202f10<jats:sup>3<\/jats:sup>\u202fmg\/L, respectively. This incident highlighted the association of the acute arsine poisoning during the cleaning of an industrial purifier with poor occupational health management practices. Effective measures for the prevention of the acute poisoning should therefore be undertaken.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3389\/fpubh.2025.1542879","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,9]],"date-time":"2025-04-09T05:21:01Z","timestamp":1744176061000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Acute arsine poisoning after exposure on cleaning an industrial purifier at a family-run workshop"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"13","author":[{"given":"Hua","family":"Zou","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Meibian","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Panqi","family":"Xue","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Fang","family":"Wei","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Fei","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Xinglin","family":"Fang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Xiaoming","family":"Lou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Lifang","family":"Zhou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,9]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1","DOI":"10.1016\/S0378-4274(02)00084-X","article-title":"Arsenic toxicity and potential mechanisms of action","volume":"133","author":"Hughes","year":"2002","journal-title":"Toxicol Lett"},{"key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"161","DOI":"10.1539\/joh.14-0148-OA","article-title":"Possible production of arsenic hemoglobin adducts via exposure to arsine","volume":"57","author":"Yamauchi","year":"2015","journal-title":"J Occup Health"},{"key":"ref3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"299","DOI":"10.3109\/0886022X.2012.745117","article-title":"Acute kidney injury by arsine poisoning: the ultrastructural pathology of the kidney","volume":"35","author":"Lee","year":"2013","journal-title":"Ren Fail"},{"key":"ref4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"820","DOI":"10.1097\/00043764-198012000-00018","article-title":"Arsine poisoning","volume":"22","author":"Kleinfeld","year":"1980","journal-title":"J Occup Med"},{"key":"ref5","first-page":"105","article-title":"Toxic gases used in the microelectronics industry","volume":"1","author":"Wald","year":"1986","journal-title":"Occup Med"},{"key":"ref6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"102","DOI":"10.1093\/occmed\/27.3.102","article-title":"Arsenic absorption in steel bronze workers","volume":"27","author":"Clay","year":"1977","journal-title":"J Soc Occup Med"},{"key":"ref7","first-page":"590","article-title":"Chronic Arsenicalism suspected from arsine exposure: a case report and literature review","volume":"33","author":"Risk","year":"1991","journal-title":"Vet Hum Toxicol"},{"key":"ref8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"169","DOI":"10.5271\/sjweh.2478","article-title":"Occupational exposure to arsine.
