Police Notebook - A Breath Away from Death Last January a tragic industrial industrial accident was reported reported in the local papers. Apparently Apparently two workers were cleaning out a vat of paint thinners at an Oshawa location location and were overcome by the fumes. They both collapsed, collapsed, and, sadly one of them died some two days later in hospital. I mention this accident because, because, incredible as it may seem, people will intentionally intentionally inhale deadly fumes, similar similar to the kind that killed that Oshawa man, to get "high". Kids in particular, will use various solvents and aerosols aerosols as a drug. I wonder if they realize the danger they are putting themselves in by inhaling into their bodies chemicals that were never intended for that purpose. Last summer, it was smade obvious to me that some kids 1 in my neighbourhood neighbourhood get "jhigh" .thjfc way.jltf was when I found an empty can of "Pam" along with a number of discarded paper towels in my local park that it became plain this kind of drug use is going on in my part of town. It's important to note that just last January it was reported in the news- Ê aper that a 15 year old rockville boy had recently died after inhaling cooking spray as a drug. This kind of drug use is a serious problem, and probably probably more common than we think. Let's take a close look, courtesy of The Addiction Research Foundation Of Ontario. Ontario.

Other common products include some felt- tipped marker pens and typewriter correction fluids ("white out" or "liquid paper"). paper"). The initial effect of inhalation inhalation of these products is a feeling of euphoria characterized characterized by lighheadedness. pleasant exhilaration, vivia fantasies, and excitation. Nausea, increased salivation, sneezing and coughing, muscular muscular incoordination, depressed depressed reflexes, and sensitivity sensitivity to light may also occur. In some users, feelings of invincibility invincibility may lead to reckless reckless and bizarre behaviour. What other price might a user be forced to pay? Sniffing Sniffing of solvents and aerosols has been associated with many fatalities. The most common type is the "sudden sniffing death", which occurs occurs most frequently during the abuse of aerosol sprays, spot removers, and model airplane cement. Some of these substances cause the heart to react abnormally and develop an irregular heartbeat (arrhythmia) that may result in sudden death. Other possible causes of death include asphyxia or suffocation when solvents are sniffed from a plastic bag if the sniffer becomes unconscious with the bag covering the airway. Vomit may also obstruct the airway. airway. Some accidental deaths have resulted from the bizarre bizarre behaviour caused by sniffing. To this, add brain damage due to loss of brain cells and cerebral atrophy, impaired functioning or permanent permanent damage to the liver and kidneys, reduction of the formation of blood cells in the bone marrow, and possi ble risk of birth defects. You can see the extent of the health risks, they are. substantial, substantial, and that's without even considering the possibility possibility of psychological or physical dependence! Physical effects include pallor, thirst, weight loss, nosebleeds, bloodshot eyes, and sores on the nose and mouth. Behavioural symptoms symptoms may be fatique, inability inability to think clearly, mood depression, depression, irritability, hostility, and feelings of persecution. Signs of brain damage include include severly impaired mental mental function, problems with muscle coordination, and tremor. Who uses inhalants? The majority of users range in age from 8 to 16, with an average average age of 12 to 13. However, However, some heavy users are in their late teens or early 20's, or even older. A 1983 Addiction Research Foundation Foundation survey of drug use among Ontario students in grades 7 to 13 showed 2.3% had used glue and 4.1% had used other solvents as a drug at least once during the pre ceeding year. The rate of use was highest among those aged 12 to 13, at 4.7% for glue and 6.6% for other solvents. solvents. Many users come from families where one or both parents are absent or alcoholic. alcoholic. Hostility and lack of affection are common characteristics characteristics of the users background. background. More boys than girls are users. Why do people use inhalants? inhalants? Curiosity and social pressure are factors in initiation initiation of use, although many stop once their curiosity is satisfied. Those who continue continue drug use report that they like the "high 1 ' following inhalation. inhalation. Others claim to use solvents to reduce anxiety or depression to compensate for feelings of inferiority, shyness, insecurity, or to relieve relieve boredom. Solvent abuse has been associated with antisocial behaviour behaviour such as dangerous driving, theft, property damage, damage, and shoplifting. It is not clear that the drugs cause the behavaiour. More likely, sniffing is more common among those who would engage engage in such behaviour in any case. Alberta and some states in the U.S. have passed laws that either restrict the sale of glue or declare the practice of sniffing solvent for the purpose of intoxication to be unlawful. But, possession and the use of volatile hydrocarbon hydrocarbon substances are not controlled under Federal or Ontario law. In my opinion, though, ■the real key to control ana prevention of this kind of drug use rests, with us, the parents. For a happy and caring family home is our most effective "weapon" in the war against drug abuse.
