Respiratory toxicity due to mass HF exposure was treated with a calcium nebulizer. Calcium gel was applied to dermal burns at early phase; however, the nebulizer was used for 2–3 weeks after HF spill. Delayed sequelae were observed after mass exposure to high-concentration HF spill. Detoxification p...
