Hydrochloric acid has a high acute toxic effect on all forms of life. There is no information on long term effects. It will ... accelerate the dissolution of many minerals, such as the carbonates (including limestone) and all aluminosilicates (such as clays and many igneous rocks). It thus contributes to the decay of limestone buildings, other structures such as bridges, and art works. It also contributes to the processes that cause photochemical smog.

Hydrochloric acid constitutes the majority of gastric acid, the human digestive fluid. In a complex process and at a large energy burden, it is secreted by parietal cells (... known as oxyntic cells). These cells contain an extensive secretory network (called canaliculi) from which the HCl is secreted into the lumen of the stomach. They are part of the fundic glands (also known as oxyntic glands) in the stomach.
