Quemaduras a causa de químicos

Prevención:

  • Todos los químicos deben almacenarse fuera del alcance de los niños pequeños, preferiblemente en un armario cerrado bajo llave.
  • Evite mezclar diferentes productos que contengan químicos tóxicos, tales como amoníaco y blanqueadores. La mezcla puede liberar vapores peligrosos.
  • Evite la exposición prolongada a sustancias químicas (aún a bajo nivel).
  • Evite el uso de sustancias potencialmente tóxicas en la cocina o cerca de los alimentos.
  • Compre sustancias potencialmente tóxicas en recipientes seguros y compre sólo lo que necesita.
  • Muchos productos del hogar están hechos de sustancias químicas tóxicas. Es muy importante leer y seguir las instrucciones de la etiqueta, incluyendo todas las precauciones.
  • Nunca almacene productos para el hogar en envases de alimentos o bebidas. Déjelas en sus envases originales con la etiqueta intacta.
  • Guarde los químicos de manera segura inmediatamente después de usarlos.
  • Utilice pinturas, derivados del petróleo, amoníaco, blanqueadores y otros productos que pueden liberar vapores sólo en áreas bien ventiladas.
