This study analyzed chemical burn injuries over five years, finding sulfuric acid as the most common cause. Prevention strategies are proposed to reduce these workplace injuries.

Area of Science:

  • Chemical Injury Research
  • Burn Medicine
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Retrospective analysis of 131 chemical burn cases over five years (1987-1991).
  • Established a consistent annual incidence rate of 10.7% for chemical burns.
  • Identified demographic trends, with males and working-age individuals most affected.

Observation:

  • The majority of chemical burn injuries were deep, full-thickness burns.
  • These burns typically involved less than 10% of the total body surface area.
  • Sulfuric acid was identified as the predominant causative chemical agent.

Findings:

  • Chemical burns represent a significant portion of burn center admissions.
  • Working-age males are the primary demographic affected by chemical burns.
