摘要：

The numbers and severities of burn casualties are described by reference to national data and a more detailed analysis of causes of burns in Birmingham. The important dimensions of any burn are area and depth, both are relevant to severity of injury and mortality. Personal factors, such as age, disability, unconsciousness, drugs and alcohol, can influence depth and area of burning. There is a relation between exposure time and thermal flux to cause burning, this is described for hot metal and radiant heat. The data can be used to predict likelihood of sustaining burns in specified situation. Such prediction is less easy with poor heat conductors; the reasons for this are discussed. The relevance of this information for advising on safety in a variety of situations is outlined. Copyright © 1979 Heyden & Son Ltd.
