    Notes: Abstract An adult male was found dead beneath a pool of sewage in the pump room of a fish market. Autopsy revealed the cause of death to be suffocation after aspirating sewage into the respiratory tract. Since hydrogen sulfide gas was detected in the atmosphere at the scene of the accident, gas poisoning was suspected and toxicological analysis of sulfides in body tissues was performed. The concentrations of sulfides in the blood, lung and kidney were 0.95 μmol/ml, 0.22 and 0.38 μmol/g, respectively. These values were remarkably higher than those in previously reported cases involving exposure to hydrogen sulfide gas. Therefore, oral intake of sulfides was assumed and the distribution of sulfides in tissues following oral administration of sodium sulfide solution was examined by means of animal experiments using rats. The concentration of sulfides in the blood from rats following oral intake was much higher than that seen following gas exposure. Based on these results, we concluded that the victim had been exposed to hydrogen sulfide gas and had then collapse into a pool of sewage containing sulfides. The sulfides which were distributed throughout the body tissues had mainly issued from the alimentary tract prior to death by drowning.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Wir haben Tierexperimente durchgeführt, um bei Untersuchung von Gewebsproben toxikologisch eine Polysulfid-Vergiftung zu verifizieren. Ein Bade-Agens, welches Calcium-Polysulfid enthielt, wurde Ratten oral zugeführt. Hierauf wurden Polysulfide und Sulfid, das Abbauprodukt von Polysulfiden, mit Hilfe von GC and GC/MS untersucht. Die Konzentrationen der Polysulfide (μmol/ml oder g) wurden am höchsten im Blut gefunden (0,194), gefolgt von der Leber (0,051), den Lungen (0,018) und den Nieren (0,013). Die Konzentrationen waren in den übrigen getesteten Organen unterhalb der Nachweisgrenze (0,004 μmol/g). Sulfid wurde in allen Gewebsproben gefunden. Mit 0,518 μmol/ml war die Konzentration am höchsten im Blut. Diese Konzentration war 40 mal höher als jene, welche für tödliche Vergiftungen im Falle von H2S-Vergiftung erforderlich ist. Polysulfid-Vergiftungen wurden bestätigend diagnostiziert durch den Nachweis und die Messung von Polysulfiden und in Ergänzung Sulfid in Körpergeweben, am ausgeprägtesten im Blut. Zwei praktische Fallberichte von vermuteter Vergiftung mit Polysulfiden werden kurz beschrieben.
    Notes: Summary We carried out animal experiments to toxicologically verify polysulphide poisoning by analyzing tissue samples. A bathing agent containing calcium polysulphides was administered orally to rats, and then polysulphides and sulphide, the decomposed product of polysulphides, were analyzed by GC and GC/MS. The concentrations of polysulphides (μmol/ml or g) were found to be highest in blood (0.196), followed by the liver (0.051), the lungs (0.018) and kindneys (0.013), but were below the detection limit (0.005 μmol/g) in the other tissues tested. Sulphide was detected in all the tissue samples and was found to be highest in the blood (0.518 μmol/ml), this being 40 times higher than that required for fatal poisoning in the case of hydrogen sulphide. Polysulphide poisoning was considered to be confirmatively diagnosed by detecting and measuring polysuphides and supplementarily sulphide in body tissues, most pertinently in the blood. Two practical cases of suspected poisoning by polysulphides are briefly described.
