Dermal exposure to hydrofluoric acid causes extensive tissue damage, unlike that which results from exposure to any other inorganic acid. 23 Hydrofluoric acid produces tissue injury by two mechanisms. 15 As the acid comes into contact with the skin, the fluoride ion dissociates from the hydrogen ion.

Hydrofluoric acid is a powerful bone etchant and -who knows why- people develop erosions in their enamel when they move from Brisbane North to Gladstone, a city affected by dental erosion but also skin allergies, asthma and probably cancer for some specific locations.

But, when exposed to Sulphuric acid at high temperatures it is the source of Hydrofluoric acid, which in turn is the source of Fluorine gas through electrolysis.

Now I've found out that the planet is rich in fluorides (more so than Earth), and my solution os obviously Hydrofluoric acid (which is very nasty stuff indeed).

Hydrofluoric acid (HF) is very effective in all soils except those with high aluminium contents, inducing a reaction which brings about the formation of insoluble and strong silica fluorides.
