Although the most commonly used fluid that causes high-pressure injection injuries is hydraulic fluid, this type of serious injury can also happen during spray painting, pressure washing with detergents or with the use of high-pressure grease guns. High pressure injection injuries are not common but when they do happen, they are devastating in nature and should be treated as a limb-threatening injury.
High-pressure fluid injection injuries usually occur when fluid under pressure (usually 2,000 to 6,000 psi or more), whether the equipment is running or not, punctures the fingers or hand usually due to a leak. The injury may not be immediately noticeable because the size of the entrance wound can be as small as a pin head or entry can occur through an existing injury. Once inside your body, this caustic fluid will cause tissue to die quickly, creating a situation where bacterial infections may cause gangrene. The fluid will also travel, causing tissue in the hand and arm to be affected.  Provided by the Federal Aviation Administration
Today, the Department of Transportation’s Federal Aviation Administration has finalized the first operational rules (PDF) for routine commercial use of small unmanned aircraft systems (UAS or “drones”), opening pathways towards fully integrating UAS into the nation’s airspace. These new regulations work to harness new innovations safely, to spur job growth, advance critical scientific research and save lives. “We are part of a new era in aviation, and the potential for unmanned aircraft will make it safer and easier to do certain jobs, gather information, and deploy disaster relief,” said U.S. Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx. “We look forward to working with the aviation community to support innovation, while maintaining our standards as the safest and most complex airspace in the world.” According to industry estimates, the rule could generate more than $82 billion for the U.S. economy and create more than 100,000 new jobs over the next 10 years. The new rule, which takes effect in late August, offers safety regulations for unmanned aircraft drones weighing less than 55 pounds that are conducting non-hobbyist operations. In an effort to increase awareness of invasive species and the impact they have on Iowa’s ecosystems and economy, Governor Branstad recently proclaimed June as Invasive Species Awareness Month in Iowa.
Each year, Iowa spends millions of dollars on the control of invasive plants, insects, animal species and diseases in woodlands, wetlands, waterbodies and urban areas around the state. “The discovery and spread of emerald ash borer in Iowa has brought to light the devastating effect an invasive species can have,” says Chuck Gipp, DNR Director. Invasive Species Awareness Month provides an opportunity for the public and private sectors to join forces, and take action against the introduction and spread of invasive species in the Iowa. “We need to be vigilant in preventing further introduction of unwanted insect, plant and animal species into our neighborhoods and ecosystems,” adds Gipp, “and knowledge is the first step in this effort.” The June proclamation is particularly timely as outdoor enthusiasts head out to boat, fish and camp. Iowa’s aquatic invasive species law is aimed at preventing recreationists from transporting invasive fish, plants and other aquatic life. Details on how to prevent aquatic nuisance species can be found at www.iowadnr.gov/Fishing/About-Fishing-in-Iowa/Fighting-Invasive-Species Campers should only use local firewood when travelling away from home to avoid the potential spread of emerald ash borer. Research has shown that emerald ash borers can only fly a few miles, which helps slow its natural spread. However, it is easily transported to new areas when people inadvertently move emerald ash borer larvae inside of infested firewood, ash nursery stock, and other ash items. More information on invasive species can be found on the DNR website, www.iowadnr.gov , by searching EAB, invasive plants, invasive fish, aquatic invasive invertebrates or aquatic invasive plants.
