Wet nappies at night could cause @entity1 at risk to die. Tyler first suspected this ten years ago when his head was jerked back from his @entity1 son's cot by the pungent odour of @entity3265 gas. This theory is consistent with the full epidemiology of @entity6884 . @entity3265 is an insidious poison which has a wide and varied range of effects on the respiratory and nervous systems according to concentration and length of exposure. At its mildest it irritates the tissues. In larger doses @entity3265 can cause @entity4 and @entity55 . It can also cause @entity850 of affected organs. Its chief danger lies in its potential to disrupt oxygenation at every level throughout the body. Acute and chronic @entity4968 profiles indicate the possibility that numbers of @entity1 reported as dying from gastro-intestinal or @entity1576 could have been @entity3265 @entity4968 victims. Predisposing factors, such as smoking during pregnancy, are shown to contribute to the vulnerability of the @entity1 to @entity3265 @entity4968 . The theory provides the framework for the development of an effective programme of @entity1 @entity204 prevention.

XXXX : the @entity3265 factor.
