Acid bums

Acids on the skin. Wash immediately and thoroughly with a liberal quantity of water, then with saturated sodium bicarbonate solution, and finally with water. For a serious acid bum, follow this by applying a disinfectant, drying the skin and covering with acriflavine jelly. 

Burns. Skin bums resulting from contact with pure fluorine gas are comparable to thermal bums and differ considerably from those produced by hydrogen fluoride (114). Fluorine bums heal much more rapidly than hydrofluoric acid bums. 

Precautions in Handling. Ammonium bifluoride, like all soluble fluorides, is toxic if taken internally. Hydrofluoric acid bums may occur if the material comes in contact with moist skin. Ammonium bifluoride solutions should be thoroughly washed from the skin with mildly alkaline soap as soon as possible however, if contact has been prolonged, the affected areas should be soaked with 0.13% solution of Zephiran chloride, or 0.2% Hyamine 1622 (Lonza, Inc.) or calcium gluconate, the treatment recommended for hydrofluoric acid bums. If any of these solutions come in contact with the eyes, they should be washed with water for at least 10 min and a physician should be consulted. 

The lead salts of nitromethane, mono-, di- or tri-nitrophenols bum at faster rates (up to 640-fold) than the parent compounds. Lead salts of trinitromethane, trini-trobutyric acid or dinitro-benzoic or -p-toluic acids bum at slightly faster rates (up to 10-fold) than the parent compounds.

Extreme care should be taken while handling the perfluoroalkanesulfonic acids. Studies suggest that extreme irritation and permanent eye damage could occur following eye contact, even if the eyes are flushed immediately with water. Acute inhalation toxicity studies (in albino rats) indicate that high vapor or mist concentrations can cause significant respiratory irritation. All contacts of the acids and their esters with the skin should be avoided. Usual procedures for treatment of strong acid bums should be applied. 

Did you know that our body s make Des (1-3) IGF-1 naturally Most un-informed individuals claim other wise, but it is true. When an athlete trains lactic acid builds up in muscle tissue. As we know, there is always IGF-1 / GH present in the blood stream and tissues (including muscle) from prior work-outs and other metabolic factors. That lactic acid bum triggers IGF-l/GH secretion from both prior and present work-outs. Unfortunately, lactic acid destroys some of the IGF-1 present in muscles being trained. But wait, this is good too ...

Styphnic acid is a yellow crystalline solid with a melting point of 176 Celsius. It is insoluble in water, but soluble in alcohol, ether, and acetic acid. Styphnic acid turns deep yellow on contact with air, so it should be stored in tightly sealed bottles in a cool place. The compound is corrosive and readily forms salts with metal hydroxides and carbonates—many of which are primary explosives, i.e., lead styphnate. Styphnic acid bums rapidly and violently when ignited. For safety reasons, styphnic acid should be stored wet with 10% water. It is used primarily in the manufacture of lead styphnate, but is used with outstanding results in explosives compositions when mixed with nitrocellulose, sodium nitrate, or ammonium perchlorate and...

We paid particular attention to the study of physiological and therapeutic effects of silatranes and silocanes on one of the thinnest and most complicated varieties of cormective tissue — cornea. Silatranes effect on cornea was studied after mechanical trauma, and after alkaline and acidic bums. We also studied the effect of silocanes in healing tests with wounds and bums. 

For those anthocyanins that contain acyl substituents, the aliphatic and aromatic acids are readily released by alkaline saponification, 10% KOH for 15 min at room temperature (Rodriguez-Saona et al., 1998). The individual organic acids and the anthocyanin glycoside produced can be subsequently identified by various chromatographic procedures. Alkali has also been used to cleave conjugated caffeic acid and p-coumaric acid (Bums et al., 2000). 

The effects of land pollution on animals are kidney and liver damage, brain and nerve damage, acid bums, cancer, and genetic disorders. Pollutants can infect local water supplies and act as fuels for potential fires. Land pollutants affect plants by hindering growth.

Acid Bums Wash with water and then with a saturated solution of sodium bicarbonate and finally with water. Even after this if burning persists, wipe the skin dry with cotton wool and apply Sarson oil and Burnol. 

Potential acid bums if HC1 contacts skin. Possible respiratory injury if fumes are not confined to fume hood. 

B. Eyes. Liquid arsenical vesicants cause severe damage to the eye. Liquid arsenical vesicants instantly produce a gray scarring of the cornea, like an acid bum, at the point of contact.
