In my limited experience, there's nothing much worse than
concentrated
hydrochloric acid. A contain of the stuff inadvertently left open

soon corrode anything corrodable in the room. HF may be worse; I

HCl is a gas dissolved in water.
At room temperatures (or higher) it will gas off
but because of the air moisture tiny drops of liquid HCl will form
instantenously.
Add water until around 25 percent concentration should stop most of the
gasification.
