Is nitric acid safe

Answer 1

It's perfectly safe for me, because I know how to behave around it. If you need to ask this question, though, it's not safe at all -- you'll probably dissolve your fingers off.

Answer 2

Nitric acid is a highly corrosive and toxic substance that can cause severe burns and respiratory irritation. It should be handled with extreme care, wearing proper protective equipment and following safety guidelines. Improper use can result in serious injury or harm.
