Line 158: Exposure to larger amounts of chlorine trifluoride, as a liquid or as a gas, ignites living tissue. The hydrolysis reaction with water is violent and exposure results in a thermal burn. The products of hydrolysis are mainly [[hydrofluoric acid]] and [[hydrochloric acid]], usually released as acidic steam or vapor due to the highly exothermic nature of the reaction. Hydrofluoric acid is corrosive to human tissue, is absorbed through skin, selectively attacks bone, interferes with nerve function, and causes often-fatal fluorine poisoning. Although [[hydrochloric acid]] is much less toxic to humans, it is often more corrosive than hydrofluoric acid.
