Quick Summary:

• Hydrofluoric acid is an inorganic compound. It is a clear solution with an irritating smell that is formed by mixing hydrogen fluoride gas in water
• Hydrofluoric acid has a wide range of industrial and commercial applications. It is used in refining oil, production of various compounds that are precursors to many polymers and refrigerants, in the production of inorganic fluorides, and as an etching and cleaning agent
• Hydrofluoric Acid Poisoning is the accidental or intentional intake of any product containing the compound. The exposure may be through skin or eye contact or following ingestion/inhalation of the chemical
• The condition is diagnosed based upon the clinical history, combination of signs and symptoms, and additional tests (that may include, in some cases, radiological studies and laboratory tests)

Note:

• In case of an emergency, call 911 (or your local emergency number) for assistance
• In case of poisoning, call National Poison Control Center at 800-222-1222 (or your local poison control center) and follow instructions
• Provide them with information such as dosage, type, strength and time of ingestion of medication, age, weight and general health status of affected individual
