HCL is a colorless gas, which forms white fumes of hydrochloric acid upon contact with atmospheric humidity. Hydrogen chloride gas and hydrochloric acid are important in technology and industry.
 
Health Effects -Hydrogen chloride forms corrosive hydrochloric acid on contact with water found in body tissue. Inhalation of the fumes can cause coughing, choking, inflammation of the nose, throat, and upper respiratory tract, and in severe cases, pulmonary edema, circulatory system failure, and death. Skin contact can cause redness, pain, and severe skin burns. Hydrogen chloride may cause severe burns to the eye and permanent eye damage.
Short Term Exposure Limit (STEL) – Peak Limitation
Time Weighted Average (TWA) – 5PPM
Immediately Dangerous to Life or Health (IDLH) – N/A
Lower Explosive Limit (LEL) – N/A
