Do you know what common chemical raw materials there are? And do you also know how to deal with poisoning from chemical reagents?
Thread Content
As a chemical industry worker, it is inevitable to come into contact with various chemical reagents, and it is well known that most of these reagents are toxic. Therefore, everyone should pay more attention in their daily work and take the necessary precautions. But protection alone is not enough; many cases of chemical agent poisoning occur unintentionally or as a result of accidents, which are situations that cannot be prevented or avoided. In the event that this happens, having some basic knowledge of first aid measures for chemical agent poisoning can save the life of the victim.
Emergency treatment for oxalate poisoning: Immediately drink the following solution to cause the formation of calcium oxalate precipitate: 1. A solution prepared by dissolving 30 grams of calcium butyrate or another calcium salt in 200 milliliters of water; 2. Large amounts of milk. Protein dissolved in edible milk can be used as an analgesic. Emergency treatment for acetaldehyde and propanone poisoning: Remove the ingested substance by gastric lavage or administering emetics. Then take a laxative. Oxygen should be administered when there is difficulty breathing. Bingtong does not cause severe poisoning. Emergency treatment for ethylene glycol poisoning: Remove the ingested ethylene glycol by methods such as gastric lavage, administration of emetics, or laxatives. Then, 10 ml of 10% calcium gluconate was injected intravenously to produce calcium oxalate precipitates. At the same time, artificial respiration is provided to the patient. Both polyethylene glycol and propylene glycol are harmless substances.
How to handle emergencies when chemicals are swallowed?
Emergency treatment for carbon disulfide poisoning: In the event of ingestion, wash the patient’s stomach or induce vomiting using emetics. Have the patient lie down, keep them warm, and ensure good ventilation.
Just arguing – who would swallow carbon disulfide???
Check the standards related to the toxic hazards and explosion risks of chemical media.
There are also some hazardous chemicals that are under close monitoring in the initial phase, along with emergency response measures
If carbon disulfide leaks out while you are talking, it’s possible to ingest it accidentally; or maybe you think, \"I’ll just drink from the carbon disulfide bottle first,\" and that could also lead to accidental ingestion
Let me give you a scenario: during the hottest part of summer, riding a motorcycle into a pile of trash increases the likelihood of accidentally swallowing flies.
Emergency measures for formaldehyde poisoning: In the event of ingestion, drink large amounts of milk immediately, followed by methods such as gastric lavage or induced vomiting to expel the ingested formaldehyde from the body, and then take laxatives. If possible, a 1% aqueous solution of ammonium carbonate can be taken.
