How to Protect Human Body from Acids and Bases in Industrial Production

With the continuous development of industry, acid-base chemicals are frequently used in production. The use of these substances poses a serious threat to workers. Long-term exposure to acid-base chemicals will damage human health. Therefore, if we are often exposed to acid-base chemicals in the process of work, we should do a good job in safety protection. So how to do a good job of protection in industry? Let's get to know it with Huatong.

There are three main ways of harming human health by acid-base chemicals:

1. Respiratory system;

2. Eyes and mucosa;

3. Skin.

I. Respiratory protection

Respiratory protection is mainly to prevent acid fog, acid vapor, acid gas and alkaline dust from entering the human body to cause harm. The commonly used respiratory protective devices are: filter gas mask, air respirator, long tube respirator, etc. We can use filter gas mask without hypoxia and non-airtight conditions. If there is dust in the working space, gas mask with dust filtering function is needed.

II. Eyes and Mucosa

When working, acid and alkali droplets, acid fog and alkaline dust should be avoided from harming eyes and mucosa. The choice of mask is to choose a full mask, if you want to use a half mask should be used with protective glasses.

3. Skin protection

Skin protection mainly prevents and reduces the contact between skin and acid-base chemicals, and avoids the direct contact of harmful substances such as acid-base liquid, acid fog, acid gas and alkaline dust. Acid and alkali resistant chemical protective clothing is one of the most commonly used clothing in industrial production. The grade of chemical protective clothing should be selected according to the concentration of acid and alkali substances in actual production.
