Corrosive substance

A corrosive substance is a chemical that can damage living tissue, metals, or other materials through a chemical reaction. These substances can come in various forms, such as liquids or solids, and often include acids and bases. When they come into contact with skin, eyes, or other surfaces, they can cause burns or deterioration. It’s important to handle corrosive materials with care, using protective gear and following safety guidelines, as they can pose serious health risks and harm to the environment. Common examples include sulfuric acid and bleach.
