Much of the page is about the concentrated forms. Excepting of course hydroflouric acid, most of these acids are relatively harmless when diluted with water to about 5%. I think that needs to be more conspicuously expressed in the text (which I cannot at present edit). | Much of the page is about the concentrated forms.

Chromic Acid
Not normally used by DIYers, but occasionally used for extreme ceramic sink cleaning. Its exceptionally effective, but very toxic and should be avoided entirely.
- Can set fire to organic materials like paper and skin.
- Disposal creates serious problems, contaminating land and food crops.

Concentrated/Dilute
Much of the page is about the concentrated forms. Excepting of course hydroflouric acid, most of these acids are relatively harmless when diluted with water to about 5%. I think that needs to be more conspicuously expressed in the text (which I cannot at present edit).

Hydrogen Chloride is a very nasty gas at all d-i-y temperatures; concentrated hycrochloric acid is an aquesous solution containing about 35% HCl.
Hydrofluoric acid will also be found as a solution, as the boiling point of pure HF is 19.5°C.
The final link under Citric Acid, MSDS, is dead.
I think that it would be useful to start each section with a link to the corrresponding wikipedia page(s).
