[labnetwork] First aid for Sulphuric acid-IIT Bombay, India

[Paolini, Steven]

Irrigate with lots of water.  Be cautious about the water that you use causing an exothermic reaction with any standing or puddled sulfuric acid but concentrate on flushing the wound extensively.  Keep flushing until medical professionals arrive and tell you what to do.   I was an Emergency Medical Technician a long time ago.
