what is acidic water
Acidic water is a chemical substance. Chemicals are generally divided into 2 types, namely acid and alkali. The alkali is stronger than acid, that is, it is corrosive to the epidermis and penetrates through to destroy the internal organs as well. While the effect of the acid is usually limited to the epidermis only.
Because when the acid reacts with the protein will cause the proteins to coagulate together It is like a wall that prevents the acid from permeating into the internal organs. Therefore, the dangers of acid tend to damage only superficial areas of the skin, such as if the eye area is acidic. Will have an impact on the outer layer of the eye, eyelid, conjunctiva, cornea surface, but if exposed to alkaline chemicals Its effects can penetrate through to destroy various parts of the eye, such as causing iris inflammation, cataracts and glaucoma, if severe enough to lead to blindness.
However, the severity of acid exposure injury depends on the concentration of the chemical, the type of acid, and the length of time the acid is in contact with the body. and the speed of first aid and treatment
