Chemical burn

The degree of damage of chemical burns is closely related to the nature, dose, concentration, physical state (solid, liquid, gaseous) of the chemical, the size of the contact time and the contact area, and the emergency measures at the time. Chemicals have a local damage effect, mainly cell dehydration and protein degeneration, and some produce heat and aggravate burns. Some chemicals can be poisoned after being absorbed.
