Hazardous Decomposition Products: Hydrogen gas may be generated in an overcharged condition, in fire or at very
high temperatures. CO, CO

and sulfur oxides may emit in fire.
Hazardous Polymerization: Hazardous polymerization will not occur.
Sulfuric acid:
Inhalation, mouse: LC50 = 320 mg/m

Oral, rat: LD50 = 2140 mg/kg (25% Solution)
Carcinogenicity: ACGIH: A2 - Suspected Human Carcinogen
OSHA: Select carcinogen
IARC: Group 1 carcinogen
Epidemiology:
Workers exposed to industrial sulfuric acid mist showed a statistical increase in laryngeal cancer. This data suggests a
possible relationship between carcinogenisis and inhalation of sulfuric acid mist.
Ecotoxicity:
Sulfuric acid is harmful to aquatic life in very low concentrations. It may be dangerous if it enters water intakes. The
aquatic toxicity for bluegill in fresh water was 24.5 ppm/24 hr, which was lethal.
