been observed in industry. Workers exposed to low concentrations of the vapors
gradually lose their sensitivity to its irritating action. Occupational exposures to
strong - acid mists containing sulfuric acid have been associated with several
respiratory tract cancers. However, there is no animal data supporting the
carcinogenicity of sulfuric acid. Sulfuric acid has been found to be non - mutagenic, and
in two studies of workers employed in lead acid battery manufacture, no association
between sulfuric acid mist exposure and respiratory tract cancers was observed.
Skin
Acute (Immediate)
●
Sulfuric Acid - Extremely irritating, corrosive, and toxic to tissue, resulting in rapid
destruction of tissue, causing severe burns. If much skin is involved, exposure is
accompanied by shock, collapse and symptoms similar to those seen in severe
burns. Repeated contact with dilute solutions can cause dermatitis.
Chronic (Delayed)
●
No data available
Eye
Acute (Immediate)
●
Causes serious eye damage.
Chronic (Delayed)
●
No data available
Ingestion
Acute (Immediate)
●
Lead - Poison by ingestion in large dosages and with prolonged exposure leading to
the same effects as seen in exposure by inhalation. Adults absorb 5 - 15% of ingested
lead and retain less than 5%. Children absorb about 50% and retain about 30%.
Sulfuric Acid - Moderately toxic by ingestion.
Chronic (Delayed)
●
No data available
Carcinogenic Effects
●
Repeated and prolonged exposure may cause cancer.

Reproductive Effects
●
Lead - Severe toxicity can cause sterility, abortion, and neonatal mortality and
morbidity. Experimental teratogen. Experimental reproductive effects. Pathological
lesions have been found on male gonads. Sulfuric Acid - Experimental teratogen.
