[edit] Sulfuric acid and copper vitriol
"Copper vitriol" (or "blue vitrioL") is an old term for copper sulfate. It's toxic, but not all that poisonous and certainly poisoning by it has nothing to do with sulfuric acid (although, of course, copper sulfate is initially formed by the action of sulfuric acid on copper or certain copper compounds). See the article on copper sulfate. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.214.59.212 (talk) 01:23, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
