Serious Chemical Burn
Claims
Chemical
burns can occur in the home, at work, or as a result of
accident or an attackt. Although few people in the United
States die after contact with chemicals in the home, many
substances common in both living and storage areas can do
serious harm. Many chemical burns occur accidentally
through misuse of products. Although injuries do occur at
home, the risk of sustaining a chemical burn is much greater
in the workplace, especially in industrial and manufacturing
plants that use large quantities of chemicals.

Chemical Burns
Chemical burns have become more common as
the types of chemicals we use continue to increase.
They occur when a person's body is exposed to strong acids
or alkalids. Common household chemicals include paint
thinner, bleach, boric acid, and plumbing decloggers.
Other acids and alkalids are commonly used in many work
places and can cause serious chemical burns. It is
important to follow safety instructions and be aware of
dangerous chemicals in work places, storage areas, and
around the home.
If someone has suffered a chemical burn,
it is important to remove
the cause of the burn. If not the chemical can
continue to burn and eat away tissue. Typically,
flushing the chemicals off the skin surface with
cool, running water for 15 minutes or more will remove a
dangerous chemical. However, if the burning chemical is a
powder-like substance such as lime, it is a good idea to
brush it off the skin before flushing with water. It
is also important to make sure you remove
clothing or jewelry that has been contaminated by
the chemical to prevent additional burning. It can
also be helpful to wrap the
burned area loosely with a dry, sterile dressing or
a clean cloth. Most minor chemical burns usually heal
without further treatment, but it is often a good idea to
seek medical assistance especially if the burn is of
significant size, extremely painful, or will not heal.
If the victim has signs of shock, such as
fainting, pale complexion or breathing in a notably shallow
manner or if the chemical burn penetrated through the first
layer of skin, and the resulting second-degree burn covers
an area more than 2 to 3 inches in diameter, it is extremely
important to seek emergency medical treatment. This is also
true if the chemical burn occurred on the eye, hands, feet,
face, groin or buttocks, or over a major joint.
