Abstract

In 1998, the Iowa Department of Public Health (IDPH) and Iowa State University (ISU) Extension Department, with the assistance of local health departments, investigated a series of carbon monoxide (CO) poisonings associated with the use of liquified petroleum gas (LPG)-powered forklifts in light industry. In each episode, forklifts emitting high CO concentration levels were operated in inadequately ventilated warehouse and production facilities, which resulted in high CO accumulations. Employees at each site developed symptoms of CO poisoning, and some employees received inadequate or inappropriate medical care. This report summarizes the investigations and provides recommendations to prevent such incidents.

摘要

1998年，爱荷华州公共卫生部（IDPH）和爱荷华州立大学（ISU）推广部在当地卫生部门的协助下，对轻工业中一系列与使用液化石油气（LPG）驱动的叉车相关的一氧化碳（CO）中毒事件进行了调查。在每起事件中，排放高浓度一氧化碳的叉车在通风不良的仓库和生产设施中运行，导致一氧化碳大量积聚。每个场所的员工都出现了一氧化碳中毒症状，一些员工得到的医疗护理不足或不当。本报告总结了调查情况并提出预防此类事件的建议。
