Resumo
Herein, we report an instance of occupational exposure to food preservatives and resultant acute respiratory failure in three
workers. The toxicological analysis revealed that mixing the particular food preservatives involved, a procedure that was
performed by the three workers involved, produced NO2, the inhalation of which caused the pulmonary edema and respiratory
failure. With time, the pulmonary damage was completely reversed in all three individuals. Accompanying this case report is a
brief review of the literature regarding acute pulmonary injury resulting from occupational exposure to chemicals. We
emphasize the importance of training, as well as of the use of protective gear, for workers who handle chemical substances.
