ions penetrate skin readily causing destruction of deep tissue layers even bone. Fluoride interferes with nerve impulse
conduction causing severe pain or absence of sensations. Immediately flush eyes or skin with water for at least 20 minutes to
neutralize the acidity and remove some fluoride. Remove and destroy all contaminated clothing and permeable personal
possessions. Before re‐use, impermeable possessions should be soaked in benzalkonium chloride after washing. Following
flushing of the affected areas, an iced aqueous solution of benzalkonium chloride or 2.5% calcium gluconate gel should be
applied to react with the fluoride ion. Compresses and wraps may be used for areas where immersion is not practical.
Medicated dressing should be changed every 2 minutes. Exposure to hydrofluoric acid fumes sufficient to cause pain requires
immediate hospitalization for monitoring for pulmonary edema.
