	Sulfuric acid Summary
		Sulfuric acid is a constituent of acid rain, being formed by atmospheric oxidation of sulfur dioxide in the presence of water - i.e.
		Sulfuric acid is produced in the upper atmosphere of Venus by the sun's photochemical action on carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide, and water vapor.
		The standard first aid treatment for acid spills on the skin is, as for other corrosive agents, irrigation with large quantities of water: in the case of sulfuric acid it is important that the acid should be removed before washing, as a further heat burn could result from the exothermic dilution of the acid.

		Orthophosphoric acid is a non-toxic, inorganic, rather weak triprotic acid which, when pure, is a solid at room temperature and pressure.
		While phosphoric acid has the potential to release three hydrogen ions, in aqueous solution the third requires a high pH because PO is almost as strong a base as hydroxide ion.
		Phosphoric acid is used as a flux by hobbyists (such as model railroaders) as an aid to soldering.

		Sulfuric acid dissolves in the water in air and can remain suspended for varying periods of time; it is removed from the air as rain.

		Acid rain, or precipitation, comes in many forms: rain, snow, sleet, hail and fog, and as deposits of acid particles, aerosols and gases.
		It is formed when sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides combine with moisture in the atmosphere to produce sulfuric acid and nitric acid.
		Thus, it is evident that restricting emissions of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides is the only viable solution to the problem of one region polluting and causing environmental damage to another.
