X00-X09: Exposure to smoke, fire and flames
X04: Exposure to ignition of highly flammable material
Exposure to ignition of highly flammable materials refers to a group of conditions resulting from direct contact with substances that are easily ignited and combust. These conditions can occur in various circumstances, such as workplace incidents, domestic accidents, or other environments where highly flammable materials are present. The manifestation and severity of symptoms largely depend on the extent of exposure and the material involved. Symptoms might include skin burns, issues with breathing if smoke is inhaled, or potential internal injuries if the explosion is forceful. In severe instances, there might be rapid deterioration signifying the progression of the condition. This exposure primarily affects the skin and respiratory system, although in critical scenarios, it can impact multiple body systems.
