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.

当甲酸泄漏时，应隔离泄漏污染区、限制出入、切断火源。首先要疏散人群到安全区，切断泄露源，相关处理人员需佩戴呼吸器，穿着专业化学防护服，在确保安全情况下堵住源头。

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.

对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将地面撒上苏打灰，并用大量水冲洗，并将水引导处理，防止污染地下水，如果泄漏量过大，一定要将泄露液体收集，转移处理，防止二次污染。根据甲酸的性质，甲酸需要密封储存、远离火源，热源避免阳光直射，储存于阴凉通风仓内且温度适宜。

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.

如果不慎身体部位接触甲酸紧急处理方法

Emergency treatment if body parts contact formic acid

如果不慎从鼻孔吸入可能会造成鼻炎、支气管炎，应马上移动到开阔空气流通好的地方，如果情况严重应马上就医。

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.

误食甲酸可能致死，误食后应用水漱口。同时马上就医。

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

皮肤接触甲酸可能引起炎症和溃疡，脱去被污染的衣服，使用大量的流动水冲洗，至少15分钟，需要就医。

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.
