Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Human mortality data due to toxic substances are presented for 1990 through 1995. The number of analyses required, results, sex of the deceased, toxic agents encountered and their fluctuations over the years are given. There was a decrease in pesticide poisonings with a corresponding increase in heroin deaths, but the total number of yearly poisonings did not vary significantly.
