Episode: Episode 13 - Chemical Routes of Exposure
Description: 🔑 Key Takeaways
Inhalation: Breathing in vapors, dusts, fumes, or gases is the most common route of chemical exposure. It can quickly affect the lungs and bloodstream.
Ingestion: Chemicals can enter the body when contaminated hands, food, or drinks are consumed. Poor hygiene practices often increase this risk.
Injection: Less common but serious, this occurs when chemicals penetrate the skin through punctures, cuts, or high-pressure equipment accidents.
Absorption: Chemicals can pass directly through the skin, especially if protective barriers are inadequate. Solvents and corrosives are particularly dangerous here.
