The title need to be worked out to arouse interest in readers.The data should have been given in the form of details of the victims. The structure need to be elobrated in both medical and medico legal pointr of view.Due to the current senario of environmental toxins being used indicriminately in developing countries, this topic will boost research in this field. Topic should have delt more regarding the laws with reference to storage, abondonment of toxic materials . No deletions are needed, infact we need more additions as afore said.It needs to be clarified regarding how many of them treated as in patient , as at one place the no is stated as 3 and other place it is stated as Six. The references are very less. Over all it is good effort by the author towards environmetal toxicology division.

The treatment provided was only based on the symptoms. A detailed discussion was needed regarding the treatment of chlorine gas poisoning. The legal issues involved in such cases also should have been included. Never the less it is a good effort and the topic certainly needs to be highlighted in the context of industrials pollution and intoxications.
