Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sulphur trioxide has a great affinity for water. It produces sulphuric acid with violence and liberation of great heat. If it escapes accidently it creates a sulphuric acid mist. This monograph explains what is known about the effects of sulphuric acid mist when it comes into contact with humans. It covers the properties, manufacture, storage and handling of sulphur trioxide and oleum and includes modelling of mist formation and dispersion. Five appendices detail exposure, animal studies and past incidents, with particular reference to the data required for computer modelling.
