6. In June 2007, India banned 25 pesticides. On the 'banned' pesticides and formulations list, are aldrin, Benzene hexachloride, Calcium cyanide, Chlordane, Copper cetoarsenite, Cibromochloropropane, Endrin, and 19 others. All the following statements about Endrin are true, except?

A. Least toxic organochlorine

B. Also known as plant penicillin

C. Has kerosene like smell

D. Resists putrefaction

Correct Option A - Least toxic organochlorine:

• Endrin is the MOST toxic organochlorine.
• It is often referred to as 'plant penicillin' due to its broad-spectrum activity against various insect pests.
• A kerosene-like smell emanating from the mouth and nostrils is a sign of Endrin poisoning. This odor may be detectable even in decomposed bodies.
• Endrin resists putrefaction and can be
• detected in the viscera quite sometime after death.

Incorrect Options:

Option B/ C/ D - Also known as plant penicillin/ Has kerosene-like smell/ Resists putrefaction:

• Endrin is also called 'plant penicillin' because of its broad spectrum of activity against various insect pests.
• Kerosene-like smell from the mouth and nostrils, may be found even in decomposed bodies and resists putrefaction.
• These statements are true

7. 20-year-old woman who ingested a rust-removing solution in a suicidal attempt presents with severe pharyngeal pain, hoarse voice, swollen and blackish lips and tongue, and chalky white teeth .what is the suspected  causative agent?

A. Carbolic acid

B. Oxalic acid

C. Nitric acid

D. Sulphuric acid

Correct Option D - Sulphuric acid:

• In Sulphuric acid poisoning: The voice becomes hoarse and husky. The lips are usually swollen and blackish. Teeth are chalky-white. The tongue becomes swollen, sodden, and black.
• Burns in the mouth and throat

Incorrect Options:

Option A - Carbolic acid:

• Poisoning by carbolic acid is known as carbolism. Phenol being fat-soluble, attacks the nervous system and causes paralysis of respiratory and CVS centers leading to death.
• Grayish or brownish corrosions at the angle of the mouth, chin, front of the body, arms and hands with phenolic odor.

Option B - Oxalic acid:

• Fulminating poisoning: Intake of large dose (>15 g) produces immediate symptoms and death within minutes. There is a burning, sour or bitter taste in the mouth with a sense of constriction around the throat and burning pain from the mouth to the stomach, radiating all over the abdomen.
• Acute poisoning: All findings are due to hypocalcemia-tingling and numbness of fingers and limbs, weakness, paresthesia, carpopedal spasm, hyperirritability of peripheral nerves (Chvostek/Weiss sign), tetany, convulsions, coma, and death. There may be dilated pupils, metabolic acidosis, ventricular fibrillation, and renal failure.

Option C - Nitric acid:

• They are those of poisoning by sulphuric acid. It causes yellow discoloration of the tissues, including the crowns of the teeth, and yellow stains on the clothing. Inhalation of fumes causes lachrymation, photophobia, irritation of air passages and lungs producing sneezing, coughing, dyspnoea, and asphyxia.
• The Colour of urine is brown.
