Nitric acid burns, sulfuric acid burns, and silicon trichloride burns
Thread Content
A guy was working at a nitric acid plant and accidentally got some nitric acid on his skin; he immediately washed it with water, but his skin was still damaged. What’s worse, it is said that nitric acid burns not only leave scars but may also cause the skin to heal improperly, resulting in uneven patches on the skin :'( With sulfuric acid, it only causes carbonization of the skin – it’s quite disturbing. It’s said the same thing happens when exposed to trichlorosilane. If anyone has any information on this topic, please share it with me
Well, I was in a hurry to get off work and take a shower, so I was careless
Trichlorosilane isn’t that serious; it can all be cured. Not long ago, someone in our unit was sprayed with trichlorosilane all over their body; they were rinsed with water for over half an hour, then taken to the hospital, and returned to work the next day. It’s not that serious, but everyone still needs to be careful and wear proper protective gear when working. Although it may be considered an occupational injury, it will harm one’s own health, so it’s not worth it.
Safety first; be sure to wear all the necessary protective equipment at work
Right, first check the wind direction before going to work, wear the proper protective gear at the site – it’s all for yourself!
In the case of burns caused by concentrated sulfuric acid, if treatment is not carried out promptly, the affected area will turn black entirely~～What’s more, it causes extreme pain to the person, and it takes a long time to recover. (This is only a small area of minor burns)
Trichlorosilane, in a humid environment, has a corrosive effect equivalent to that of ultra-concentrated hydrochloric acid. ~~Far exceeding 37%
Safety first! Nothing is more important than safety
