Formic acid, chemical formula HCOOH, molecular formula ch2o2, molecular weight 46.03. Colorless and pungent liquid. Weak electrolyte, melting point 8.6 ℃, boiling point 100.8 ℃. Acid is very strong, corrosive, contact will cause skin blistering. The components are generally found in the secretions of bees, some ants and caterpillars. It belongs to organic chemical raw material and can be used as disinfectant or antiseptic.

當(dāng)甲酸泄漏時，應(yīng)隔離泄漏污染區(qū)、限制出入、切斷火源。首先要疏散人群到安全區(qū)，切斷泄露源，相關(guān)處理人員需佩戴呼吸器，穿著專業(yè)化學(xué)防護(hù)服，在確保安全情況下堵住源頭。

When formic acid leaks, the contaminated area should be isolated, access should be restricted, and the fire source should be cut off. First of all, the crowd should be evacuated to the safety area, and the leakage source should be cut off. The relevant handling personnel should wear respirators and professional chemical protective clothing to block the source under the safe condition.

對于已泄露在地面的甲酸，用砂土或其它不燃材料吸附或吸收也可將地面撒上蘇打灰，并用大量水沖洗，并將水引導(dǎo)處理，防止污染地下水，如果泄漏量過大，一定要將泄露液體收集，轉(zhuǎn)移處理，防止二次污染。根據(jù)甲酸的性質(zhì)，甲酸需要密封儲存、遠(yuǎn)離火源，熱源避免陽光直射，儲存于陰涼通風(fēng)倉內(nèi)且溫度適宜。

For formic acid that has leaked on the ground, it can be absorbed or absorbed by sand or other non combustible materials. The ground can also be sprinkled with soda ash and washed with a large amount of water, and the water will be guided for treatment to prevent groundwater pollution. If the leakage is too large, the leaked liquid must be collected, transferred and treated to prevent secondary pollution. According to the nature of formic acid, formic acid needs to be stored in a sealed, far away from fire source, heat source should be away from direct sunlight, and stored in a cool and ventilated warehouse with appropriate temperature.

如果不慎身體部位接觸甲酸緊急處理方法

Emergency treatment if body parts contact formic acid

如果不慎從鼻孔吸入可能會造成鼻炎、支氣管炎，應(yīng)馬上移動到開闊空氣流通好的地方，如果情況嚴(yán)重應(yīng)馬上就醫(yī)。

If accidentally inhaled from the nostrils may cause rhinitis and bronchitis, you should immediately move to an open and well ventilated place. If the situation is serious, seek medical advice immediately.

誤食甲酸可能致死，誤食后應(yīng)用水漱口。同時馬上就醫(yī)。

Ingestion of formic acid may cause death. Gargle with water after ingestion. At the same time, see a doctor immediately.

皮膚接觸甲酸可能引起炎癥和潰瘍，脫去被污染的衣服，使用大量的流動水沖洗，至少15分鐘，需要就醫(yī)。

Skin contact with formic acid may cause inflammation and ulcers. Take off contaminated clothing and rinse with plenty of running water for at least 15 minutes. Seek medical advice.
