The hazmat suit was invented in the mid-20th century during World War II. It was developed to protect individuals from hazardous materials and chemicals.
Hazmat suit Level A is used in high-risk hazardous material handling situations. Specific requirements include a fully encapsulating suit with self-contained breathing apparatus, chemical-resistant materials, and rigorous training for proper use. Guidelines include conducting a hazard assessment, establishing decontamination procedures, and ensuring proper maintenance of the suit.
Due to a recent traffic stop with the state police, I now know that the maximum you can carry without having a hazmat endoresement is 119 gallons. For reference, the large 100lb propane tanks hold approx 24 gallons. You are fine hauling several of the smaller forklift tanks. Just make sure they are properly secured.
You must first found out everything there is to know about the chemical(s) involved. You can't just go dump a random base into an acid and hope for the best. You could end up causing an explosion, a fire, or a poison gas that wipes out a neighborhood. Find the Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS), and find a qualified HAZMAT Specialist (a Technician might work in a pinch). Most of the time, HAZMAT scenes are not time-critical, so get everything prepared before you do anything else. Then suit up, and follow the advice from the MSDS and HAZMAT leader. If you have not been trained to work in HAZMAT scenes, back off, and call someone who is.
Diamond sizes on hazmat placards range from 250 mm x 250 mm (9.84 in x 9.84 in) for trucks and containers to 100 mm x 100 mm (3.94 in x 3.94 in) for smaller packages. The diamond shape is divided into four sections, each indicating a different type of hazard.
Corrosives are hazmat materials that contain acids and alkaline substances. These materials can cause severe burns to skin or eyes upon contact, and can pose a serious threat to health and the environment if not handled properly. Special precautions should be taken when storing, transporting, or disposing of corrosives to prevent accidents and exposure.
The average cost of a hazmat suit ranges from 150 to 500, depending on the level of protection and quality of the suit.

Assuming that by "look at you funny" you mean "look at you as if your were peculiar", it would be because wearing a hazmat suit for reasons other than hazmat work is peculiar or at least unusual.
