Skin injuries due to ultraviolet radiation, radioactivity, electricity or chemicals, as well as respiratory damage resulting from smoke inhalation, are also considered to be burns.

According to the International Society for Burn Injuries (ISBI), a burn occurs when some or all of the different layers of cells in the skin are destroyed by a hot liquid (scald), a hot solid (contact burns) or a flame (flame burns). Skin injuries due to ultraviolet radiation, radioactivity, electricity or chemicals, as well as respiratory damage resulting from smoke inhalation, are also considered to be burns.

The World Health Organisation (WHO) states that over 300,000 deaths occur each year from fires alone, with more deaths from scalds, electrical, chemical burns and other forms of burns for which global data are not available.[1]  The WHO are calling for improvements in the care of burn victims as this will not only increases the chances of survival, but will also help to reduce the likelihood of disabilities and disfigurement.
