Abstract
Prikazan je slučaj smrtnog i tri nesmrtna zadesna otrovanja dece nastala, pri fumigaciji žila primenom Phostoxin tableta na šlepu. Do otrovanja je došlo usled nestručno izvršene fumigacije. Rad se iznosi sa ciljem da se ukaže na izvanredno teške posledice nepridržavanja odredbi Pravilnika o uslovima u pogledu kadrova i opreme, koje moraju ispuniti radne organizacije na poslovima zaštite bilja, a koje su predviđene Sl. glasnikom SRS 27/1966.One fatal and three nonfatal accidental cases of poisoning of children with phosphine are reported. The poisoning was an outcome of unprofessionally performed fumigation of the stored grain with Phostoxin tablets on a tug-boat. For the fumigation of 500 t of oat 675 tablets ( = 675 g PH3) were used. Two families with four children, who were moved out of the tug-boat before the fumigation started, returned 72 hours after the fumigation. The onset of the signs of poisoning occurred 24 hours after their return to the boat. The next day a child aged 6 died during the transport to the hospital. Particularly dangerous consequences of not following the regulations for the chemical plant protection are pointed out
