Mr. Miller,
Under no circumstances should perchloric acid be used in anything but a
hood designed and reserved for the purpose. To answer your questions,
please refer to "Bretherick's Handbook of Reactive Chemical hHazards" the
current edition (available in any good technical library) and look up
"perchloric acid". You will become enlightened.
