Abstract:
Petrol is one of the most widely used and freely available fuels in use in developed countries today. This study examines the clinical details and demographics of adults with petrol burns over a 10-year period with a view to identifying any trends. The majority of petrol burns were due to human error and thus theoretically preventable. This study determined that the young male (aged 16-25) is most at risk, mainly through the misuse of petrol. The best method of prevention of these burns might be education targeting this group of population. This study provides a basis upon which effective intervention programmes can be designed.
