Poison Information Service of the Nofer Institute of Occupational Medicine in Lódź. Types of toxicological inquiries 1991-1994.
The National Poison Information Centre and the physicians of the Clinic of Acute Poisonings, the Nofer Institute of Occupational Medicine in Lódź, provide telephone toxicological information to the medical professions and the general public. The most frequently offered advice was for drugs, pesticides, solvents, corrosives and mixtures. The most frequent drug inquiries concerned tranquillizers, hypnotic and psychotropic drugs. Advice to the public most frequently involved the toxic action and composition of various agents. At present, much effort is devoted at the National Poison Information Centre to develop a system of toxicologic information for the general public.
