Aerosol Poisoining in Birds 濕劑對鳥類的毒化






This morning I was surprised to receive an email from Mr.L asking me to check the link below. He wants my comment on this. http://www.petmd.com/bird/emergencies/poisoning-toxicity/e_bd_fumes_and_aerosol_poisoning


It seemed that the gases and the propellant mixtures in any types of canister (aerosol) are fatal to birds. In many European countries Aerosol products are totally banned. Well if I have to go further it may affect those Swiftlet farm’s Aromas that packed in the canister.


All canisters ( aerosol) need gas and propellant mixture to create combustion to spray the liquid out. These gases are toxic and harmful and may cause dead. So having dead birds in farm is uncommon..


A Swiftlet farm internal is considered an enclosure area with little ventilation. The fume from canisters is fatal to birds. That’s why many Swiftlet farms above workshop that uses spray paint often not successful.


Well I don’t want to comment about it further as my duty is not to comment on other people’s product.


You may read it yourself from the above link and make judgment.

Thank you Mr.L for alerting all of us.


Aerosol Poisoning in Birds


Fumes And Aerosol Poisoning


Many fumes and other aerosol poisons that affect your bird can be found either in your home, or outside it. From your cookware, to your carpet freshener, the fumes not only irritate your pet bird, but can poison it.


Symptoms and Types


You will know if your bird has suffered from fumes or aerosol poisoning because it will have difficulty breathing, tremors and other neurological symptoms. In severe cases, there may be sudden death. Unfortunately, the time between the bird exhibiting symptoms and death, is usually short.


Causes


Cookware with coated surfaces can create poison fumes. This includes cookware of the non-stick variety -- surfaces coated with Teflon, Silverstone, Tefzel, and other fluoropolymers. Other household appliances coated with fluoropolymers include bakeware, some types of heating lamp bulbs, self-cleaning ovens, and irons.

When heated to 240 degrees Celsius (464 degrees Fahrenheit), the fluoropolymers begin to vaporize and release acidic fumes, which can poison your bird. It is important to note: these are normal cooking temperatures.
Fluoropolymers are not the only causes for fumes or aerosol poisoning in birds. Your bird can also be sensitive to aerosol fresheners (air, carpet, etc), spray disinfectant
, insect killers, etc.

The fumes from burning plastics (like the kind which melts in a microwave oven), new heating duct system, or smoke from fire can also release fumes and aerosol poisons.


Treatment


Normally, these types of fumes or aerosol poisons prove fatal for the bird, as they do not display any symptoms. However, if you notice your bird exhibiting any difficulty in breathing, give it fresh air and bring it to a veterinarian for immediate attention.


Prevention


You can prevent your bird from inhaling fumes or other aerosol poisons, by keeping it near a fresh air source while cooking or spraying the house.

我今天早上從L先生收到了電子郵件要我看看以下的網站。 他想要知道我對關於這個的評論。 http://www.petmd.com/bird/emergencies/poisoning-toxicity/e_bd_fumes_and_aerosol_poisoning

看起來氣體和在罐(濕劑)任何类型的發射混合物對鳥類是致命的。 在許多欧洲国家濕劑產品完全被取締的。 如果我必須进一步的解釋,它也許影響那些罐包裝燕屋農場的芳香。

所有的罐包裝(濕劑)需要氣體和發射混合物來創造燃燒噴洒液體。 這些氣體是有毒性和有害的,而且也許會導致死亡。 所以有死燕子在燕屋農場是很普通的。
燕屋農場的內部是封密的環境有很少的透氣。 從罐包裝發出來的煙對鳥類是致命的。 所以許多在喷漆車廠樓上的燕屋農場經常是不會成功的。
我也不想對這個進一步的評論,因為我的義務不是對其他人的產品评论。
您可以自己讀以上的網站和做評斷。

谢谢L先生給我們大家的警告。

濕劑對鳥類的毒化

發煙和濕劑毒化

許多發煙和其他濕劑會影響鳥類都可以在您的家裏或者外面都可以被找到。 從您的炊具,到您的地毯清涼劑,發煙不僅激怒您的寵物鳥,但是可能毒害它。
症狀和類型

您會知道您的鳥類是否遭受發煙或濕劑毒化,因為它將有困難呼吸,震顫和其他神經學症狀。 在嚴重的情況下,也許有猝死。 不幸地,陳列症狀和死亡的鳥類之间的时间,通常是很短的。
起因

有上漆表面的炊具可能創造毒物發煙。 這包括不粘鍋的品種的炊具 -- 表面用聚四氟乙烯、希爾弗斯通、Tefzel和其他含氟聚合物涂。 其他家用电器用含氟聚合物涂包括烤具、加热灯電燈泡的一些类型,自清洗烤箱和燙斗。

當加熱到240攝氏度(464華氏度),含氟聚合物開始汽化和發布酸性發煙,可能毒害您的鳥類。 您需要注意的是: 這些是正常烹饪的温度。 含氟聚合物不是發煙的唯一的起因或在鳥類的濕劑毒化。 您的鳥類可以也能是敏感對濕劑清涼劑 (空氣、地毯等等),浪花殺菌劑、殺蟲劑等等。

從灼燒的塑料 (像在微波炉熔化)的種類,新的熱化輸送管系統或者煙的發煙從火可能也發布發煙和濕劑毒物。

治療

通常,因為他們不顯示任何症狀,發煙的這些类型或濕劑毒物證明對鳥類是致命的。 然而,如果您注意到您的鳥類陳列在任何呼吸的困難,給它新鲜的空气並且給直接帶它到獸醫。

預防

您可以防止您的鳥類吸入任何發煙或其他濕劑毒物,通过保留它在一個新鲜空气來源的附近,當烹調或噴洒房子时。
