Hydrochloric acid reacts strongly with almost all metals, especially the softer ones like aluminum and magnesium.

Hydrochloric acid is extremely irritating to skin and eyes.

It can produce toxic gasses during certain reactions.

HCl will produce heat when mixed with water and under certain circumstances can cause dangerous amounts of heat which lead to release of flammable gasses and splashing of hazardous acidic material.

HCl will corrode electrical conductors.

HCl can damage some types of containment vessels. HCl is strong enough to break down the portlandite in cement and concrete and thereby weaken otherwise strong secondary containment.
