Is there any harm to people if you smell too much gasoline?

Any man-made chemical product, whether it is direct breathing or physical contact, can be harmful to the human body. At present, the gasoline sold in the market is claimed to be unleaded. But it still contains lead. As for the harm of lead to the human body, I believe you also know it.

If you are asking about the smell of gasoline to distinguish the quality or other reasons, it is recommended not to breathe deeply into the nose, but to stay about 20cm away from the nose and gently fan it with your hand to smell.

Hope it helps!

Gasoline smells more and has an anesthetic effect on the central nervous system. Mild symptoms of poisoning include dizziness, headache, nausea, vomiting, unsteady gait, and ataxia. Toxic encephalopathy occurs when inhaled at high concentrations.

Inhalation at very high concentrations causes sudden loss of consciousness and reflex respiratory arrest. It may be associated with toxic peripheral neuropathy and chemical pneumonitis. Some patients develop toxic psychosis.

Aspiration pneumonia can be caused by inhalation of fluids into the respiratory tract. Splashing into the eye can cause corneal ulcers, perforation, and even blindness. **Acute contact dermatitis and even burns caused by contact. Swallowing causes acute gastroenteritis, and in severe cases, symptoms similar to acute inhalation poisoning occur, and liver and kidney damage can occur.

If you smell too much gasoline, it won't hurt your body much.

Long-term inhalation has a certain effect on the body.

Gasoline contains toxic chemicals such as lead, mercury, and benzene. If these substances are absorbed too much by the body, they can easily lead to blood diseases and liver cancer. If the amount of benzene in the human body is excessive, it will cause aplastic disorders and anemia.

Mao, director of the hematology department of a hospital in the city, told reporters that although sometimes gasoline poisoning does not show symptoms at once, if it slowly accumulates in the body, it will definitely cause some diseases. In particular, the heavy metal elements contained in gasoline are most likely to be deposited in the adipose tissue of the human body, thus causing harm to the human body. In addition, due to individual differences in metabolism, some people are more likely to be poisoned if they have too much gasoline.

Gasoline mainly damages the human nervous system, with tetraethyl lead being the most toxic. According to the national diagnostic criteria, gasoline poisoning can be divided into chronic and acute, both of which are mild, moderate and severe. At first, the symptoms caused by chronic gasoline poisoning were headache, dizziness, memory loss, insomnia, fatigue, palpitations, hyperhidrosis and other neurasthenic syndromes and autonomic nerve dysfunction. Moderate is mainly manifested by weakness of limbs; In severe cases, it manifests as toxic encephalopathy.

Acute poisoning is mainly manifested as emotional instability, crying and laughing, excitement and restlessness, accompanied by mild consciousness disorders, etc., and more serious cases can lead to limb paralysis. In addition, inhaling too much of the gas emitted by gasoline can also lead to aspiration pneumonia.
