Fatal poisoning with a plant protective containing monocrotophos, dodine and dinocap.

The toxicological findings after fatal poisoning with a plant protective containing monocrotophos, dodine and dinocap are described and discussed. While monocrotophos could be measured in all tissues and in blood 12 microgram/g, lung 13 microgram/g, brain 13 microgram/g, kidney 11 microgram/g, liver 1.8 microgram/g), measurable amounts of dodine (detection limit approx. 3 microgram/g) and dinocap (detection limit approx. 4 microgram/g) were not detected in these materials. The gastric contents contained 52 mg of monocrotophos, 7.5 mg of dodine and 20 mg of dinocap.
