Is putting quicklime in the room harmful to your health?

Yes When quicklime meets water, it will dissolve quickly, and it will react immediately to generate calcium hydroxide, and at the same time, it will release heat and expand the gas. A closed space will produce a certain pressure, and when it reaches a certain level, an explosion will occur. The generated calcium hydroxide solution belongs to strong alkali solution and is corrosive. After absorbing water, quicklime releases heat and generates calcium hydroxide (hydrated lime). Calcium hydroxide is alkaline, which will cause corrosion and burns to the skin, mouth and esophagus, damage the cornea or conjunctival cells of the eyes, and even lead to blindness in severe cases.
