Burns can occur in a wide variety of settings, including residential homes, office buildings, factories, and cars. Burns can occur from structure fires, home accidents, automobile crashes, workplace or industrial accidents, defective products, and chemical exposures. Burn injuries can have different physical effects, depending on the source of the burn.
People usually think of thermal burns when they think of burn injuries. Thermal burns occur when someone comes into contact with a heat source, such as the flames of a fire, a hot pan, a hot radiator, or a scalding liquid, such as boiling water or hot coffee.
Chemical burns happen when someone comes into contact with acidic or base chemicals. These types of burns can damage a person’s skin through direct contact and also damage a person’s lungs and internal organs through inhalation. Chemical burns can occur in the workplace through exposure to dangerous chemicals in different ways, such as during the manufacturing of a product in an industrial plant or through everyday exposure to chemicals like at a dry cleaning business. Chemical burns can also occur in residential homes through the use of toxic cleaning products.
Radiation burns happen when someone suffers exposure to radiation. Some sources of radiation burns include X-rays, microwaves, medical treatments, tanning booths, and the sun. Radiation burns can have temporary effects, such as a mild sunburn, or severe, life-altering effects.
Electrical burns occur when a person touches high voltage sources, such as downed live utility lines, faulty electrical appliances, or lightning. Electrical burns can cause severe skin damage, which is often at the point of contact, and can also result in internal bodily damage, such as damage to organs and tissues.
