From the Paper:

"It is worth noting here that approximately 2 million Americans obtain remedial attention for body burns every year. Majority of the burns take place at their residence, at their workplace, or are caused during a road side accident. Approximately 50,000 and 70,000 American citizens are given treatment for body-burns each year as inpatients. Approximately 30% to 40% of this amount is children who are less than 15 years old. All body burns, both severe and minor, might source operational or aesthetic injury if they are left untreated and uncared for."
