Burns occur when heat from any source - hot liquids ( scalds ), hot solids, flames, ultraviolet radiation (sunburn ) or radioactivity, electricity and chemicals destroy some or all of the different layers of cells which form the human skin. Respiratory insults resulting from smoke inhalation are also burn injuries.
It has been seen that 95% of the burn injuries are accidental and can be prevented with care and precautions. A lot of times women and children are involved because a lot of accidents occur at home and in the kitchen. The pressure stoves are very risky and floor level cooking using kerosene stoves etc. also cause a lot of accidents. Fire crackers during Diwali cause a lot of burn injuries when not used with care. Fires also happen with faulty electrical connections and in factories using dangerous gases and chemicals.
