Im a student at IFSS in Canada and i need some information on a certain acid, Chlorosulfonic Acid to be precise. If anybody can give me information regarding this acid, such as how much is used in the world, what specifically is it used for, why do industrys and consumers need this compound, how toxic is the compound?, how can it impact the environment...basically the more information the better. The chemical formula is ClSO2OH for anybody who needs it. Thnx for any information you can offer.

It's used in the manufacture of pharamaceuticals and dyes, yet I'm not sure which in particular... It's extremely unhealthy (it has a 4 for health risk at the CAS registry), and highly corrosive (I'd imagine it easily loses the H+, and possibly the Cl- ?).
