Open Access padlockePrints

The Newcastle University research output collection, currently available on ePrints, will shortly be moving to a new open repository platform, Figshare. To prepare for the data migration we have paused adding new content to ePrints, and will resume once the new repository is launched. During this time you will continue to have access to ePrints (but no new content will appear). We will share updates here when available.

Abstract

Accidental ingestion of products found in the environment is common. It particularly affects young children aged 1–4 years, especially boys. Fortunately, many substances that are taken by accident have low toxicity and further observation or treatment is unnecessary. This article includes information on substances found in the house or garden that are of low toxicity when taken by ingestion. Medicines that are of low toxicity when taken in overdose are also described.
