Phosphoric Acid (was Re: Water)

[Guest guest]

I worked for a phosphate chemical plant in Florida for 15 years before

ending up on disability and phosphoric acid was one of the products we

produced. It was used in certain fertilizer products but we also sold it to

the Coca Cola processing plants. Also note that my Dad, who worked in the

plant as an instrument technician (I was an accountant) once stepped in it

while reading a meter and had third degree burns and spent many months in

the hospital, he was wearing boots but the cover was off the top of the

boiling acid and it spilled over into his boots. I never drink coke unless

I have no choice.

Hugs, Michele
