Abstract
Chloroacetic acid is an important chemical material,extensively used in the organic-chemistry industry.It has strong corrosiveness,can be well absorbed through respiratory tract,digestive tract and damaged skin,and induce obvious injuries of brain,heart,liver,kidney and lung.However,the pathogenic mechanism still remained unclear.No specific antidote is available in the treatment of acute chloroacetic acid poisoning.Immediate decontamination,symptomatic and supporting treatment are the common therapy in the clinical practice.
