Neumonitis por químicos - Prevention

Prevención:

Los químicos caseros deben usarse sólo de acuerdo con las instrucciones y siempre en áreas bien ventiladas. Nunca mezcle amoníaco con blanqueador.

Se deben seguir las normas laborales con respecto al uso de máscaras protectoras y se deben utilizar las máscaras apropiadas. Las personas que trabajan cerca al fuego deben tener precaución de limitar la exposición al humo o los gases.

Tenga cuidado con suministrar vaselina líquida a alguien que podría ahogarse con esto (niños o ancianos).

No saque gasolina o queroseno con sifón.
