Sulfuric acid is outrightly nasty when it comes to your health.
Contact with skin
Sulfuric acid corrodes skin and bone by chemical combination. It also has a nasty trait of stripping water from other compounds like sugars and starches to comnine with its own molecules. This doesn't sound bad, but it will reduce organic material to just carbon in short order, this is a standard "impressive" demonstration of the dangers of sulfuric acid.
It will also eat away your clothes while chewing on the skin below.
Contact with eyes
All the problems with skin exposure apply to eyes. Eyes however are not as forgiving for the resulting scar tissue. Always wear goggles when working with sulfuric acid.
Vapours
Sulfuric acid at high concentrations fumes, it also can become an aerosol when poured or stirred. The gases or minute droplets will combine with wet areas of your body (eyes, the inside of your nose and lungs, sweaty clothes) to mkae a high strength liquid acid. All problems noted earlier apply, except you can corrode from the inside out.
Addition to water
When sulfuric acid is exposed to water it grabs onto the water molecules and releases heat. If the heat is not dissipated the water can turn to stream suddenly (explosively) covering everyone nearby with drops of concentrated acid. This is worst when water is poured into the acid not the other way around.
An old lab poem and warning says:
"May his rest be long and placid
Who adds water to the acid!"
this affect planets and animails by the air pollution. Coming from the air pollution is carbon dioxide with kill animals by the old oxgyen laying on there food, which then the animals eat. Plants will also die by air pollution, by atmosphere carbon dioxide which then it burns to the soil and kills the roots then leading to no more plants for the animals to eat.
Its not poisonous in dilute concentrations, but is is harmful. It can burn an animal badly if it is strong acid, but if diluted a lot it is harmless.
Yes, it is true. Sulfuric acid is quite corrosive and it destroys tissue.
No. It is actually used (in rock form) as a homepathic method to improve hair quality and reduce flea infestation.
Elemental sulfur isn't harmful to humans or most higher animals. It's highly toxic to some kinds of bacteria and fungi, though.
Sulfuric acid is dangerous to living organisms.

No, sulphuric acid is a dangerous chemical.
The part of sulfuric acid that is dangerous is the H+ ion it releases in solution.
yes!
Sulfuric acid is dangerous to living organisms.
dangerous to living organisms
yes
There are some bacteria that thrive in sulfuric acid but most living organisms are severely damaged by H2SO4
Difinitely. Sulfuric acid.

It occurs as acid rain. Sulfuric acid is also used in drain cleaners (but this isn't really common anymore, since sulfuric acid is quite dangerous for most domestic use), and in laboratories and industry application.
- because sometimes we need to know exactly the volume of sulfuric acid - also because sulfuric acid is corrosive and dangerous
sulfuric acid or sulphuric acid
This is to dilute the sulphuric acid. Sulphuric acid in high concentrations is dangerous and very corrosive.
