Chemical hazards are due to the presence in a particular area of \u200b\u200bcertain industries that use toxic substances in technological processes; pipelines, tanks, storage facilities, as well as the transportation of chemically hazardous substances (CHP). In case of emergencies, releases of PRC into the atmosphere in quantities that pose a danger to humans, animals and plants are possible. Timely action before, during and after emergencies can significantly reduce the threats and damage to the PRC. During the period of hostilities, the danger of the use of chemical weapons by the enemy should be taken into account.<\/p>\n
You need to know this:<\/p>\n
For most areas, the most likely threats are chlorine, ammonia and industrial compounds. Signs of chlorine poisoning include the following: sharp chest pain, tearing in the eyes, tearing, shortness of breath, dry cough, vomiting, loss of coordination and the appearance of blisters on the skin. Signs of ammonia poisoning are increased heart rate and heart rate, agitation, possible convulsions, dyspnea, tearing in the eyes, tearing, runny nose, cough, redness and itching of the skin.<\/p>\n
In the area of \u200b\u200byour stay, other PRCs may be a threat. During emergencies, in addition to the PRC, other damaging factors (burns, injuries, etc.) may result in fire or explosion.<\/p>\n
There are means of protection against PRC and algorithms to reduce the degree of damage to chemical weapons. It is necessary to remember:<\/p>\n
Avoid panic. After receiving information (by radio or other means of notification) about the release (spill) into the atmosphere of the People’s Republic of China and the danger of chemical contamination, take the following measures:
\nQuickly collect the necessary documents, valuables, medicines, food, drinking water and other necessary things in an airtight suitcase and prepare for evacuation.
\nWhile waiting for evacuation, close windows, doors, transoms, ventilation openings tightly, seal with adhesive tapes moistened with water cloth, paper.
\nWear personal protective equipment, cotton gauze bandages soaked in water or preferably 2-5% solutions of baking soda (chlorine), acetic or citric acid (ammonia).
\nUse the simplest means of skin protection (clothing), shoes (preferably rubber).
\nIf available, wear safety goggles.
\nWarn neighbors about the start of the evacuation. Help children, the disabled and the elderly. They are to be evacuated in the first place.
\nWhile waiting for information in case of ammonia damage, hide on the lower floors of a protected building;
\nIn case of chlorine damage, climb to the upper floors of buildings;
\nTake the prepared things, turn off the sources of electricity, water and gas, leave the room (apartment, house).
\nLeave the zone of chemical contamination in the direction perpendicular to the wind direction and bypass tunnels, ravines, ravines – in the lowlands there may be a high concentration of PRC.
\nAfter leaving the area of \u200b\u200bchemical contamination: Remove outer clothing, take a shower. Find out from local government and local government addresses the organizations responsible for providing assistance to the affected population. If NHR is suspected, avoid any physical activity, drink plenty of fluids (tea, milk, juice, water) and seek medical attention.<\/p>\n
Providing first aid for chlorine poisoning<\/p>\n
Immediately move the victim from the contaminated area to fresh air, cover tightly, allow to breathe oxygen, water vapor or aerosol 0.5% baking soda solution for 15 minutes. Rinse skin, mouth, nose with 2% baking soda solution or soapy water. The main means of combating chlorine is water, if possible – warm milk with soda. If necessary – do mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. Do not allow the victim to move independently. Only transport it lying down.<\/p>\n
Providing first aid for ammonia poisoning<\/p>\n
Remove the victim from the affected area. Rinse skin, mouth, nose with water, instill two or three drops of 30% albuterol in the eyes, in the nose – olive oil.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
