Chemical burns represent a small number of burn injuries in the UK. They have the potential to be life-threatening with serious aesthetic and functional consequences, accounting for 30% of all deaths from burns. Chemical burns are caused by corrosive agents (acids and alkali) leading to extensive tissue damage.

The Journal of Trauma: Injury, Infection, and Critical Care, 1988
In chemical skin injuries, reduction of the time of exposure to the causative agent and recognition of systemic toxicity are necessary to lessen the severity of the insult, reduce morbidity, and maximize survival. During a 17-year period (1969 through 1985), 87 (2.1%) of the 4,212 burned patients admitted to the U.S. Army Institute of Surgical Research

Burns, 1989
This study reports the incidence and nature of chemical burns admitted to a large regional burns unit between 1 January 1981 and 31 December 1987. Of the 3251 patients admitted, 100 had sustained chemical burns; although they only comprised 3.1 per cent of the workload they accounted for 16.5 per cent of all industrial burning accidents.

There is a vast and ever-expanding variety of potentially harmful chemicals in the military, industrial, and domestic landscape. Chemical burns make up a small proportion of all skin burns, yet they can cause substantial morbidity and mortality. Additionally, the hand and upper extremity are the most frequently involved parts of the body in chemical ...

Chemical burns of the oesophagus
The Journal of Laryngology & Otology, 1987SummaryChemical burns of the oesophagus caused by ingestion of corrosives present a difficult and potentially dangerous problem of management. Initial failure to recognize the seriousness of the injury and inexperience in the handling of the severer burn may result in consequences which are both life-threatening and life-long.Analysis of 95 patients ...

Chemical burns of the eye are one of the most common eye injuries. The extent of the ocular surface damage is influenced by the type, temperature, volume, and pH of the corrosive substance and duration of exposure. Limbal ischemia found on eye assessment is the primary determinant of eventual visual outcome.
