Wear NIOSH approved self contained breathing apparatus. Unusual Hazards: Water applied to sulfuric acid generates heat and causes acid to spatter. Wear full-cover acid resistant clothing. Sulfuric acid reacts violently with metals, nitrates, chlorates, carbides, fulminates, picrates and other organic materials. Reacts with most metals to yield explosive/flammable hydrogen gas. This reaction is intensified when sulfuric acid is diluted with water to form battery electrolyte.
