[Severe accidental acrolein intoxication in the home (author's transl)]. 1977

K Bauer, and K Czech, and A Porter

In a private household overheated fat-containing food emitted vapours which caused severe intoxication in a previously healthy man. The resulting pulmonary changes presented a grave threat to the patient's life for several days. The origin and properties of the vapours led to the conclusion that acrolein was their major toxic component.
