Flash burn

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Template:Infobox medical condition (new)

Flash burn is any burn injury caused by intense flashes of light, high voltage electric current,[1] or strong thermal radiation.[2] These may originate from, for example, a sufficiently large BLEVE, a thermobaric weapon explosion or a nuclear blast of sufficient magnitude. Damage to the eye(s) caused by ultraviolet rays is known as photokeratitis.

A man who was present at Nagasaki on August 9, 1945, during the dropping of the 20 kiloton Fat Man bomb, this photo displays that 1st and 2nd degree burn injuries he experienced on his unclothed skin, the shoulder and arm, while the thin vest garment of clothing that he was wearing at the time of the explosion completely protected his stomach and lower chest from experiencing similar burns. A clearer color restored version of this picture is also available.[3]
