Routes of Entry: Inhalation:YES Skin:NO Ingestion:NO
Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:NO IARC:NO OSHA:NO
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:ACUTE: BURNS, CORROSIVE TO ALL BODY
TISSUES. RESPIRATORY IRRITATION. CHRONIC: DERMATITIS, TOOTH
EROSION, COUGHING.
Effects of Overexposure:SEVERE BURNS TO SKIN OR EYES. INHALATION OF
MIST FROM HOT SULFURIC ACID CAN BE INJURIOUS TO LUNGS.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:PRE-EXISTING CONDITIONS MAY BE
WORSENED.

First Aid:EYES: IRRIGATE WITH WATER FOR AT LEAST 15 MINUTES. GET
IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION. SKIN: WASH CONTAMINATED AREAS OF BODY
WITH SOAP AND WATER. GET IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION. INGESTION:
STOMACH WASH. INHALATION: OXYGEN WITH USE OF INTERMITTENT POSITIVE
PRESSURE BREATHING APPARATUS.

Flash Point:NONE
Extinguishing Media:FOR COMBUSTIBLES, USE SUITABLE DRY CHEMICALS. NO
WATER ON ACID.
Fire Fighting Procedures:USE A NIOSH APPROVED SCBA AND FULL PROTECTIVE
EQUIPMENT WHEN FIGHTING CHEMICAL FIRES. USE WATER SPRAY TO COOL
NEARBY CONTAINERS EXPOSED TO FIRE.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:REACTS WITH STEEL AND MANY COMMON METALS
TO PRODUCE HYDROGEN GAS WHICH CAN BE A FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD.

Spill Release Procedures:COVER WITH SODIUM CARBONATE OR AN EQUAL AMOUNT
OF SODA ASH AND SLAKED LIME. AFTER MIXING ADD WATER IF NECESSARY TO
FORM A SLURRY. SODA ASH AND LIMESTONE WILL RELEASE CARBON DIOXIDE
GAS REQUIRING ADEQU ATE VENTILATION.
Neutralizing Agent:SODIUM CARBONATE, 50-50 MIXTURE OF SODA ASH AND
SLAKED LIME

Handling and Storage Precautions:SMOKING, OPEN LIGHTS, AND SPARKS NOT
PERMITTED IN STORAGE AREAS. PROTECT CONTAINERS AGAINST PHYSICAL
DAMAGE AND PREVENT CONTACT WITH WATER.
Other Precautions:SEPARATE FROM CARBIDES, CHLORATES, FULMINATES,
NITRATES, PICRATES, POWDERED METALS, AND COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS.
WEAR RUBBER GLOVES, CHEMICAL GOGGLES, RUBBER BOOTS, AND A CHEMICAL
CARTRIDGE RESPIRATOR.

Respiratory Protection:USE NIOSH/MSHA APPROVED RESPIRATOR FOR AN ACID
MIST IF ABOVE PEL/TLV.
Ventilation:LOCAL/GENERAL TO MAINTAIN PEL/TLV.
Protective Gloves:RUBBER, NEOPRENE
Eye Protection:CHEMICAL GOGGLES
Other Protective Equipment:RUBBER APRONS, RUBBER SAFETY SHOES, FACE
SHIELD, CLOTHING
Work Hygienic Practices:AVOID CONTACT WITH SKIN AND EYES. DO NOT
BREATHE ACID VAPORS/MIST. WASH THOROUGHLY AFTER EACH USE.
Supplemental Safety and Health
CONCENTRATED ACID OXIDIZES, DEHYDRATES, OR SULFONATES MOST ORGANIC
COMPOUNDS. MIXED WITH WATER EVOLVES MUCH HEAT. UNNEUTRALIZED ACID
MUST NOT CONTACT SULFIDE WASTES TO PREVENT POISONOUS HYDROGEN SULFI
DE GAS.
