Air dan serbuk penaik kurangkan kesan asid

24/05/2011 10:45am

KUALA LUMPUR 24 Mei - Beberapa siri insiden serangan asid di Lembah Klang baru-baru ini jelas menimbulkan ketakutan di kalangan orang awam, terutamanya kaum wanita.

Sehingga kini, sejumlah 23 kes dilaporkan sejak Mac namun orang yang bertanggungjawab masih bebas lepas.

Namun, seorang pakar kimia Prof. Dr. Zainudin Arifin berkata, orang ramai tidak seharusnya berasa cemas dan terancam dengan insiden berkenaan.

"Mereka seharusnya keluar dan pergi bekerja seperti biasa, dan pada masa sama mereka hendaklah mengambil tindakan dan langkah keselamatan. Kesan akibat simbahan asid boleh dikurangkan jika mereka tahu apa yang hendak dilakukan,” katanya kepada Bernama hari ini.

Bagi mencegah kesan penghakisan teruk dan kecacatan kekal pada kulit, Zainudin daripada Jabatan Kimia, Fakulti Sains, Universiti Malaya menasihatkan kaum wanita supaya membawa sebotol air dalam beg tangan mereka dan menggunakannya untuk mencuci simbahan asid jika kejadian seumpamanya berlaku kerana air adalah bahan pelarut mudah mencairkan kimia.

"Cuci bahagian badan dan bersihkan simbahan asid dengan menggunakan sebanyak air yang mungkin kerana masa amat kritikal ketika ini. Jika anda melengahkan pencucian asid itu, kesan lebih buruk dan menakutkan akan berlaku.

"Dapatkan sebanyak air dan berada di dalam aliran air sekurang-kurangnya 15 minit, lebih baik jika dapat 30 minit, kemudian tukar pakaian dan hanya selepas itu anda dapatkan rawatan,” katanya.

Beliau berkata jika serbuk penaik, sodium bikarbonat boleh diperoleh, mangsa simbahan asid boleh mencampurkannya dengan air dan meletakkan di kawasan yang terkena simbahan asid bagi meneutralkan kesan asid berkenaan.

"Dan jika dalam paling teruk di mana tiada air boleh diperoleh, lap kawasan yang terkena simbahan asid dengan sebersih-bersihnya,” kata beliau.

Beliau juga mencadangkan kaum wanita menggunakan alat pelindung keselamatan seperti kaca mata besar. - Bernama


sos

yes I know it's all good and dandy to let people know how to at least minimize the effect, but hell, catch the damn criminal already. cut their hands, and feed them to the crocs so that they will never be able to commit the same crime, ever again.

bukkake fest...

i tot water is a conductor for acid?
acid becomes dangerous when combined with water right?
that's why it corrodes the skin bcoz we secretes water thru our pores.
is the doctor sane or what?

EDIT:
however i agree on sodium bikarbonat.its real easy to get.

Water = YES

Baking soda = NO!!! NO!!! NO!!!

If you do not know what was thrown at you, USE WATER ONLY!

FYI, it can also be alkaline splasher, not just strong acid that burns, strong alkaline burns too. If you add baking soda you to alkaline splash, you are only making it worse.

but the culprit use acid

conductor not for electric one ah?

i know water, but serbuk penaik now only i know

Not conductor, the proper word is CATALYST.

To dry acid powder, then water is CATALYST. Since the perp uses liquid, safe to say it is diluted in water. Hence, the more water you use to wash off, the better your chance in minimizing the damage.

Even if the culprit uses acid, using baking soda is still BAD IDEA. The reaction between acid + baking soda, will definitely create salt residue. If they got in the eyes, it would take some times to wash off. Better stick to clear water, which is a fast way to wash and dilute the acid away.

In the context of giving advice to public, one should always assume the safest advice. Using baking soda is only recommended if you know what you are doing. Else, you might introduce unnecessary side effects.

ubat gigi?

damn.....so many dumb F people here....
