Should contact occur, certain safety steps must be followed,<br />

depending on the kind of contact and the chemicals<br />

involved. Skin should be washed with soap and water.<br />

Chemical burns should have immediate medical attention.<br />

Eyes should be flushed at once with large amounts of water<br />

and immediate medical attention is mandatory. Hydrofluoric<br />

and fluorosilic acids cause painful burns and serious<br />

ulcers that are slow to heal. Immediately after exposure, the<br />

affected area must be flooded with water and emergency<br />

medical attention sought. Other materials that are especially harmful in<br />

contact with skin are concentrated nitric acid, sulfuric acid, chromic acid,<br />

30 and 50 percent hydrogen peroxide, sodium hydroxide, potassium<br />

hydroxide, bromine and anhydrous aluminum chloride, These materials also<br />

produce vapors that cause respiratory irritation and damage.<br />
