In vitro adsorption removal of paraquat by activated carbon and cation exchange resin
- Univ. of Tokushima (Japan)
With the modernization of agriculture, environmental pollution and accidental poisoning by agricultural chemicals have become a great social problem. With the remarkable increase in the amount of paraquat used, the number of deaths by swallowing of paraquat has also increased in recent years. Presently, an effective antidote and treatment for paraquat poisoning is not available. For primary treatment, administration of an adsorbent is done at the same time as gastrointestinal lavage. As an adsorbent for paraquat poisoning, the efficacy of activated carbon, Fuller's Earth, bentonite, and a cation exchange resin have been reported. In this work, the authors discuss the adsorption characteristics of paraquat in artificial gastric juice and normal saline solution.
