Respiratory system burn injury

Little Is known about possible long-term effects of CS Inhalation. This is due In part to the fact that short-term experiments with experimental animals, carried out for from several days to a month and using much higher (In some cases, nearly lethal) concentrations of CS, showed that ocular, respiratory, and cutaneous alte-. rations were mild and readily reversible, whereas necropsy findings failed to reveal any evidence of systemic alterations. Retrospective studies performed by the Hlmsworth committee at the request of the British Parliament after the extensive use of CS in Northern Ireland showed that no adverse effects of CS use were observed, with respect to eye burns, residual respiratory tract injury, Increased death rate in the elderly, exacerbations of mental Illness, increased Incidence of strokes or heart attacks, or incidence of tuberculosis. At exposure concentrations reported by the Hlmsworth committee (about 90 mg-min/m ), no persistent or notably adverse health effects were observed.

The most common types of injuries to people during spills of concentrated sulfuric acid are burns as a result of direct contact with this acid. These bums often cause marked scarring of the skin. The concentrated form of sulfuric acid destroys organic matter as a result of its severe dehydrating action. It is also a severe irritant to the eyes, respiratory tract, and skin. The respiratory system and teeth are usually damaged as a result of chronic exposure to the acid aerosols and mists.
