Fluoroacetates

Fluoracetater

Svensk definition

Derivat av ättiksyra med en eller fler fluoratomer. De är nästan luktfria, svårupptäckta och mycket stabila. Syran i sig, liksom derivaten som bryts ned till syra i kroppen, är mycket giftiga, med fördröjd, konvulsiv verkan.

Engelsk definition

Derivatives of acetic acid with one or more fluorines attached. They are almost odorless, difficult to detect chemically, and very stable. The acid itself, as well as the derivatives that are broken down in the body to the acid, are highly toxic substances, behaving as convulsant poisons with a delayed action.
