Research draft, second pass

A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

Purpose and description

Let an agent recognise intoxication and poisoning and route to emergency care, give general information on causes and prevention, explain legal aspects such as intoxication and driving, and never facilitate harmful use.

A state of toxic injury or impairment caused by exposure to a harmful substance, including alcohol and drug intoxication, poisoning by metals, pesticides, gases such as carbon monoxide and smoke inhalation, and toxic effects on organs such as the lungs; intoxication ranges from mild impairment to life-threatening poisoning and requires assessment and, often, emergency care.

What it is for: Recognising and responding to toxic exposures.

It can be recognise signs of intoxication and poisoning; route to emergency care and poison control; explain causes and prevention; explain legal aspects in general terms.

Distinguishing features

Caused by a toxic substance

Acute or chronic

Ranges in severity

Often an emergency

What it looks like

Impaired consciousness, coordination, breathing or other functions after exposure.

How it is recognised

Impairment or illness after exposure

Substance-specific signs

Infection can cause similar symptoms without a toxin
