The national poison center movement originated in the Midwest with actions of the American Academy of Pediatrics in Chicago, Illinois, in 1972. The Missouri Poison Center (MPC) was established in 1974. The MPC and other regional poison centers are essential to the public health locally and nationally. Trends in serious poisoning outbreaks such as the release of synthetic cannabinoids have been detected by real-time electronic surveillance by specialists in poison information and medical toxicologists.
