AB  - Hydrocarbons  are  a  diverse  group  of  organic  compounds  consisting  primarily  of  carbon  and  hydrogen  atoms.  The  two  basic  forms  of  hydrocarbons  are  aliphatic  (straight-  or  branched-chain  carbon  arrangement)  or  aromatic  (carbon  arranged  in  a  ring).  Hydrocarbons  are  in  many  household  and  occupational  products  (Table  199-1).  While  all  hydrocarbons  can  be  toxic,  aromatic  and  halogenated  hydrocarbons  are  associated  with  the  most  severe  systemic  toxicity.  Volatile  agents  are  associated  with  the  highest  aspiration  risk.  Identification  of  the  specific  hydrocarbon  or  class  can  help  anticipate  specific  potential  toxicity  and  guide  management.
