The acid fog is disulfuric acid - better known as Oleum, and sometimes called "Liquid Fire".

It is highly reactive (pointing out the obvious) and is normally generated in situ in 3 steps:

1) Oxidation of sulfur to sulfur oxide

2) Hydration of sulfur oxide to sulfuric acid (also commerically available)

3) Mixing sulfur oxide and sulfuric acid to give disulfuric acid

Disulfuric acid fumes on contact with water (even in the air, hence the fog).

I have used sulfuric acid (which is a weaker acid than disulfuric acid) - that even fumes when exposed to air and heavy duty gloves must be worn in a well ventilated area. It will burn through denim (I probably still have the pair of jeans that have acid holes in them!)

Oleum will turn sugar into pure carbon in a matter of minutes. Though how the plant life survives, I don't know!
