Nitric Acid. Safety Rules in Emergencies

Nitric acid is one of the most important products of the chemical industry. It is produced in very large quantities and is widely used both in non-ferrous metallurgy and for the production of nitrogen fertilizers, plastics, organic dyes and medicinal substances. In the case of uncontrolled release, the substance poses a major threat to human health and life.
