Arkansas: Burn Injury Types
Chlorine is one of the top 10 most commonly produced chemicals manufactured in the United States, and it is commonly used in both industry and household products. While it is safe when used properly, it has the potential to become dangerous. Due to the prevalent use of chlorine, it is possible for widespread exposure to occur from accidental spills or releases of chlorine. Exposure typically occurs via inhalation. People can also be exposed to high levels of chlorine through skin or eye contact or through ingestion of chlorine-contaminated food or water.
In addition, while chlorine is not flammable, it is possible for it to react explosively or form explosive compounds with many common substances such as:
- Acetylene
- Ether
- Hydrogen
- Turpentine
- Ammonia
- Natural gas
Chlorine burns can have devastating effects, both physically and financially. If you have suffered a chlorine burn, you may be entitled to financial compensation for lost wages, medical bills and other damages.
