Sulfuric acid at concentrations of 0.1 to 1 mg/m/sup 3/ produces an increase in pulmonary flow resistance and a decrease in pulmonary compliance in guinea pigs exposed for 1 hour. These changes are not rapidly reversible following termination of exposure. Sulfuric acid of 0.3 ..mu..m (MMD) was more irritant than a larger size of 1 ..mu..m.
