Eye injuries from car battery explosions.
CASE I An 18-year-old engineer was measuring the charge of a car battery which had been on overnight trickle charge, when there was a spark and the battery exploded, injuring his left eye. On examination the corrected visual acuity was found to be 6/4 R and 6/24 L. There was an extensive acid burn of the left conjunctiva and cornea and a secondary uveitis. Intraocular pressure was 37 mm/Hg. The...
متن کاملElectrothermal ring burn from a car battery.
Despite prevention efforts, burn injuries among auto mechanics are described in the literature. Electrothermal ring burns from car batteries occur by short-circuiting through the ring when it touches the open terminal or metal housing. This article describes a 34-year-old male auto mechanic who was holding a wrench when his gold ring touched the positive terminal of a 12-volt car battery and th...

متن کاملInjuries from explosions: physics, biophysics, pathology, and required research focus.
BACKGROUND Explosions cause more complex and multiple forms of damage than any other wounding agent, are the leading cause of death on the battlefield, and are often used by terrorists. Because explosion-related injuries are infrequently seen in civilian practice, a broader base of knowledge is needed in the medical community to address acute needs of patients with explosion-related injuries an...
متن کاملKinetic analysis of total Lead from spent Car battery by hydrochloric acid leaching
A study of the kinetic analysis of total lead from spent Car battery ash by hydrochloric acidleaching has been examined. The physico-chemical analysis of the ash powder was carried outby the Inductively Coupled Plasma-Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS) and X–ray diffraction (XRD).The effects of the acid concentration, temperature and particle size on the rate of battery ashdissolution have been investi...
