sodium pentachlorophenol poisoning

1. Sodium pentachlorophenate is currently a drug used for snail control in schistosomiasis prevention, and it also has killing effects on leeches, crabs, fruit tree pests, fungi, and bacteria. It can also be used as wood preservative and agricultural herbicide, with wide applications, but it is also highly toxic to humans and animals. The median lethal dose for acute oral poisoning in rats is 78 mg/kg, and the acute lethal dose for adults through various routes is approximately 2 g. 2. Sodium pentachlorophenate stimulates cellular oxidation processes and inhibits phosphorylation processes, so that the energy produced by stimulated oxidation cannot be converted through phosphorylation into adenosine triphosphate and phosphocreatine for storage, but is dissipated as heat, thus producing a series of clinical symptoms.
