NFPA Definitions

Corrosive – A chemical that causes visible destruction of, or irreversible alterations in, living tissue by chemical action at the site of contact.

Base– Bases are actually the opposite of acids. Common bases are sodium hydroxide and ammonia (pH greater than 7).

Acid – An acid (from the Latin acidus/acere meaning sour ) is any chemical compound that, when dissolved in water, gives a solution with a hydrogen ion activity greater than in pure water. Common examples of acids include acetic acid (in vinegar) and sulfuric acid (used in car batteries), (pH is less than 7).

NFPA Definitions

Oxidizer – A chemical compound that readily

transfers oxygen atoms or a substance that gains

electrons in a redox chemical reaction; i.e., sodium

peroxide, nitric acid, sodium hypo chloride greater than

5%.

Do not use with water.

Radiation – In physics, radiation describes a process

in which energetic particles or waves travel through a

medium or space.

Acid Burns

Acids are a group of chemicals that, due to their chemical

makeup, aggressively react with many other substances on

contact, in a way that tends to damage those substances.

Organic tissue is made of substances that just so happen to be

susceptible to these reactions.

Concrete Burns

Cement contains calcium oxide which binds with water molecules

to form calcium hydroxide.

The cement burns occur during the mixing process while the

calcium oxide is bounding to the water.
