Twelve of the most unusual industrial toxins are reviewed here and their clinical manifestations and treatments explored: acetonitrile, acrylonitrile, boron hydrides, dimethylaminopropionitrile, dimethylformamide, hydrazines, methyl isocyanate, 2-nitropropane, phosphine, Stalinon, tellurium, and vanadium.
