Woman Dies After Stepping on Acid in China

Woman Dies After Stepping on Acid in China

A woman in China died after accidentally stepping on a strong acid called hydrofluoric acid.

This acid, sometimes called 'bone-dissolving water,' is very dangerous and can cause serious harm.

The woman was walking on a hillside when she came into contact with the acid.

She suffered severe injuries, including organ failure.

The police are investigating how the acid was left there, and a former janitor is being held.

Hydrofluoric acid is used in some industries but can be risky if not handled carefully.
