  • TIN Toxicity with Analytical Aspects and Its Management
    Review Article International Journal of Forensic Science Volume 2 Number 2, July - December 2019 TIN Toxicity with Analytical Aspects and its Management Ashok Kumar Jaiswal1, Kiran Bisht2, Zahid Ali Ch3, Arijit Dey4, Deepak Kumar Sharma5 How to cite this article: Ashok Kumar Jaiswal, Kiran Bisht, Zahid Ali Ch et al. TIN Toxicity with Analytical Aspects and its Management. International Journal of Forensic Science. 2019;2(2):78-83. Abstract Tin is a silvery-white metal, naturally occurring as cassiterite. It is denoted by symbol Sn, has an atomic number 50 and atomic weight 118.71u. The two commonly found oxidation states of tin are Sn (IV) called stannic and Sn (II) called stannous with approximately equal stabilities. Tin has been extensively used for storing food and beverages, transportation, construction industries, in paints, as heat stabilizers, and biocides. Several anthropogenic and natural processes release tin and its compounds into the environment posing a severe toxicological threat to living beings. Several studies prove absorption and accumulation of tin in the various parts of the body such as lungs, kidney, and spleen resulting in impairment of respiratory system, degenerative changes in kidney, central nervous system and reproductive system. The clinical features of tin poisoning along with appropriate diagnosis has been discussed in this paper. The identification of tin and its compounds using various advanced analytical techniques will help in better dealing with the toxic effects of the same. Also, the hospitalization and post-hospitalization management will help to understand the proper care and treatment required by the patient. Keywords: Tin toxicity; Poisoning; Tin; Biocides; Analytical techniques etc.

  • Some Investigations on the Toxicology of Tin, with Special Reference to the Metallic Contamination of Canned Foods
    VOLUME IX NOVEMBER, 1909 No. 3 SOME INVESTIGATIONS ON THE TOXICOLOGY OF TIN, WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO THE METALLIC CONTAMINATION OF CANNED FOODS. By S. B. SCHRYVER. IN July 1906 attention was drawn to the fact that a large number of tinned foods returned from the South African campaign were exposed for sale on the home markets. The majority of these foods were known to have been from five to seven years in tins, and the possession of this material afforded a rare opportunity for investigating the question of metallic contamination, and for determining how far such contamination was deleterious to the public health. The following account of investigations into the subject is based on a report to the Local Government Board by Dr G. S. Buchanan and myself (Medical Department: Food Reports, No. 7, 1908) extracts from that report being reproduced with the permission of the Controller of H. M. Stationery Office. Previous researches dealing with this subject have been published by Ungar and Bodlander (1887), working in Binz's laboratory, and by Lehmann (1902). The former investigators shewed that by repeated sub- cutaneous injections into animals of small quantities of tin in the form of a non-irritant organic salt (the double tartrate of tin and sodium) over prolonged periods, definite toxic symptoms could be produced, which resulted, after sufficiently long treatment with the metallic salt, in the death of the animal. The general effects of the poison were manifested (a) in disturbances in the alimentary tract, (b) in the general nutrition, and above all (c) in the central nervous system.

  • CT Diagnosis of Toxic Brain Injury in Cyanide Poisoning: Considerations for Forensic Medicine
    1063 CT Diagnosis of Toxic Brain Injury in Cyanide Poisoning: Considerations for Forensic Medicine Robert M. Varnell' Two deaths occurred after ingestion of cyanide-containing Extra-Strength Excedrill Gary K. Stimac1.2 capsules. Cranial CT scans obtained within 3 hr of each patient's collapse showed Corinne L. Fligner diffuse cerebral swelling and loss of gray-white differentiation. Most diffuse cerebral insults (hypoxia, ischemia) do not show such changes so soon after injury. The early onset of diffuse cerebral edema with loss of gray-white differentiation may be a clue to the diagnosis of acute cyanide poisoning. Cyanide is one of the most rapidly acting poisons; symptoms can occur within seconds of hydrogen cyanide gas inhalation and within minutes of skin contami­ nation by or ingestion of cyanide salts. Cases of genocide, homicide, suicide, and accidents relating to cyanide-containing substances are well known. Hydrocyanic (or prussic) acid and its derivatives are used for fumigation of ships and warehouses and as fertilizer (cyanamide). Cyanide salts are used in electroplating , metallurgy, metal cleaning, hide dehairing, and organic synthesis, and are found in photographic chemicals and rodenticides. Cyanogenic glycosides, such as amygdalin, release cyanide on enzymatic breakdown, and are components of the leaves, bark, and seeds of many plants, including peach, apricot, plum, chokecherry, cassava, and bitter almond. Laetrile, a synthetic amygdalin, has been used for cancer therapy and has also caused poisonings [1 -5]. Acute cyanide poisoning may be difficult to diagnose, and may masquerade as a natural death, with nonspecific clinical and autopsy findings. We describe two deaths that were initially considered "natural" and that later findings revealed to be due to acute cyanide poisoning resulting from the ingestion of cyanide-adulterated Extra-Strength Excedrin capsules.

We use a lot of electronic equipments which is fulfilled with latest technology, but rarely think what should be done after use, how much toxic it is, how to dispose. Electrical and electronic waste (e-waste) is currently the largest growing waste flow. It is very harmful, complex and more expensive to treat in an environmentally sound manner, and there is a general lack of legislation or enforcement surrounding it. Today, most e-waste is being discarded in the general waste flow which may affect badly. In developed countries the e-waste is sent for recycling, 80 % of them is being moved to developing countries where it is recycled by millions of unofficial workers. So e-waste has unpleasant effect on environmental and health implications. It is clear that the future of e-waste supervision depends not only on the effectiveness of local government or international authorities functioning with the operators of recycling services but also on the public contribution, along with national, local and global initiatives. The solution to the e-waste problem is not simply the prohibition of trans- boundary movements of e-waste, as household generation accounts for a major proportion of e-waste in all countries.
