[Phosgene poisoning].
Phosgene, a combat gaz of the first world war is now very used in industry. Authors report a few observations about acute intoxications in the manufacture of this gaz in Toulouse. They insist about the risks of slow coming out lung oedema when safety instructions are not correctly followed. However better knowledge and observance of these instructions permitted a reduction of these intoxications in number and gravity.
