Sulfuric acid is used in copper production. How can this affect the morbidity of workers in copper smelters?

Sulfuric acid is a very active chemical. On contact with the skin and eyes, it can cause irritation, redness and chemical burns with deep damage and even lead to blindness. Inhalation of vapors, which have a toxic effect, can result in poisoning, burns of the mouth, esophagus, and respiratory tract. Therefore, you need to work only in protective special clothing, use respirators and follow safety rules. Workers at copper smelters have a higher incidence of respiratory diseases, chemical vapor poisoning, and chemical burns.
