Abstract

Acid attacks are deliberate acts of violence that are potentially lethal and may result in significant burns to the surface area of the victim's body (Karunadasa et al., 2010). Such attacks were considered common in the USA and UK in the 1800s (Chowdhury, 2007), but from the 1980s, the reporting of acid attacks increased in southeast Asia and sub-Saharan Africa (Khoshnami, Mohammadi, Rasi, Khankeh, & Arshi, 2017).
