The lungs are only able to eliminate volatile acids, which can be converted to carbon dioxide and eliminated through respiration. Nonvolatile acids, on the other hand, cannot be converted to gases and therefore cannot be eliminated by the lungs. These acids are typically eliminated by the kidneys through urine excretion.
