Hello,
I am trying to find images/photos of any examples of the types of injury caused which would result in the chemical receiving an eye irritant classification of 2A. The GHS text includes the following types of reactions to such a substance:
(i) corneal opacity ≥1; and/or
(ii) iritis ≥1; and/or
(iii) conjunctival redness ≥2; and/or
(iv) conjunctival edema (chemosis) ≥2
I have found some photos of (nauseating) eye injuries/surgeries but it is not clear to me that these reflect any of the categories above (even using Google image search), and I would like to use the corresponding images, rather than one that may be from an unrelated incident (such as welding, congenital issues, etc.).
I'd be happy with even one image from the above set of conditions, as long as it was truly representing an injury at that level...
thanks all!!
Margaret
