Sulfuric acid can affect the body if it is inhaled or if it comes in contact with the eyes or skin.
It can also affect the body if it is swallowed. Sulfuric acid attacks the respiratory system, eyes, skin, teeth, and lungs. Concentrated sulfuric acid will effectively remove the elements of water from many organic materials with which it comes in contact. It is even more rapidly injurious to mucous membranes and exceedingly dangerous to the eyes. May be fatal if swallowed.
