Inhalation abuse of various toxic agents continues to be a significant health problem among the younger segment of our society. We describe four cases of sudden death in adolescents associated with recreational sniffing of typewriter correction fluid occurring during the period 1979 through mid-1984. The solvents used in most of these fluids, 1,1,1-trichloroethane and trichloroethylene, are known to induce potentially fatal arrhythmias. Sniffing typewriter correction fluid poses a significant and underappreciated danger to the lives of these abusers. School health officials, public health departments, and law enforcement personnel should be alerted to the need for surveillance of this type of activity.
吸入各种有毒物质在我们社会的年轻人群体中仍然是一个严重的健康问题。我们描述了1979年至1984年年中期间发生的4例与吸食打字机修正液相关的青少年猝死病例。这些修正液中使用的大多数溶剂，即1,1,1 - 三氯乙烷和三氯乙烯，已知会诱发潜在致命的心律失常。吸食打字机修正液对这些滥用者的生命构成了重大且未得到充分认识的危险。学校卫生官员、公共卫生部门和执法人员应被提醒需要对这类活动进行监测。
