Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:ACUTE- ACID CAN CAUSE IRRITATION OF
EYES, NOSE, THROAT. BREATHING MIST PRODUCES RESPIRATORY DIFFICULTY,
CONTACT WITH SKIN & EYES CAUSES IRRITATION & SKIN BURNS. CHRONIC-
REPEATED CONTACT WITH SULFURI C ACID BATTERY ELECTROLYTE FLUID MAY
CAUSE DRYING OF THE SKIN WHICH MAY RESULT IN IRRITATION &
DERMATITIS. PROLONGED INHALATION OF A MIST OF SULFURIC ACID CAN
CAUSE INFLAMMATION OF THE UPPER RESPIRATO RY TRACT LEADING TO
CHRONIC BRONCHITIS. SHORT TERM LIQUID OR VAPOR CONTACT MAY RESULT
IN EYE IRRITATION & ACID BURNS. PROLONGED CONTACT TO STRONG ACID
FUMES MAY RESULT IN EROSION OF THE TOOTH ENAMEL.
Effects of Overexposure:ACID CAN CAUSE IRRITATION OF EYES, NOSE,
THROAT. BREATHING MISTS PRODUCES RESPIRATORY DIFFICULTY, CONTACT
WITH SKIN AND EYES CAUSES IRRITATION AND SKIN BURN. SULFURIC ACID
MIST CAUSES COUGHING AND WIL L BURN EYES AND SKIN.
