Is hydrochloric or sulfuric acid legal in California?

Answer 1

In California, Sulfuric acid is legal, as it is found as 94% of many drain cleaners.

Hydrochloric acid would probably not be the best idea to have, so depending on the local rules, it could be frowned upon, or even be all out illegal.

But DON'T take my word for it. Check with your local police department to find out the laws, and if you actually have the acid, I wouldn't all out tell them, I would ditch them if they say it's illegal.

Answer 2

Both hydrochloric and sulfuric acid are regulated substances in California as they are considered hazardous chemicals. They can be used for specific purposes under certain regulations and guidelines, such as for industrial processes or research, but typically require permits or licenses for handling and disposal. It is important to check with the relevant regulatory authorities to ensure compliance with state laws and regulations.
