Routes of Entry: Inhalation:YES Skin:YES Ingestion:YES
Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:NO IARC:NO OSHA:NO
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:ACUTE: EYES: BURNS, CORNEA DAMAGE,
BLINDNESS, SKIN: IRRITATION, BURNS, ULCERATION. INHALATION:
VAPORS/MISTS MAY CAUSE RESPIRATORY IRRITATION, INFLAMMATION OF
BRONCHIAL MEMBRANES. INGESTION: BURNS AND ULCERATION OF
MOUTH/THROAT/ESOPHAGUS/STOMACH,ALSO KIDNEY AND INTESTINAL DAMAGE.
CHRONIC: ALL OF ABOVE AND TOOTH EROSION.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:NONE
Effects of Overexposure:CONCENTRATIONS AS LOW AS 5 MG/M3 ARE
OBJECTIONABLE, CAUSING COUGH, INCREASED RESPIRATORY RATE AND
IMPAIRMENT OF VENTILATORY CAPACITY. DROPLETS OR MIST ON THE SKIN
CAUSES AN UNCOMFORTABLE STINGING, BUR NING SENSATION. EYE
IRRITATION FREQUENTLY OCCURS AT CONCENTRATIONS OF 1.1 TO 2.4 MG/M3.
TEETH MAY BECOME DISCOLORED.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:EXPOSURE TO MIST MAY CAUSE LUNG
DAMAGE AND AGGRAVATE PULMONARY CONDITIONS.

First Aid:EYES: FLUSH WITH LARGE AMOUNTS OF WATER. GET MEDICAL
ATTENTION. SKIN: REMMOVE CONTAMINATED CLOTHING. FLUSH AREA WITH
LARGE AMOUNTS OF WATER. INHALATION: MOVE TO FRESH AIR. IF NOT
BREATHING, GIVE CPR. IF BREATHING DIFFICULT, GIVE OXYGEN. GET
MEDICAL ATTENTION. INGESTION: DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. IF CONSCIOUS,
GIVE WATER OR MILK TO DRINK. WASH OUT MOUTH; GARGLE TO WASH THROAT.
GET MEDICAL ATTENTION.

Flash Point:NOT COMBUSTIBLE
Autoignition Temp:Autoignition Temp Text:NONE
Extinguishing Media:NOT COMBUSTIBLE. USE MEDIA APPROPRIATE FOR
SURROUNDING FIRE, DRY CHEMICAL, CARBON DIOXIDE, WATER FOG, WATER.
Fire Fighting Procedures:WEAR NIOSH-APPROVED SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING
APPARATUS AND FULL-COVER SULFURIC ACID RESISTANT PROTECTIVE
CLOTHING.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:WATER APPLIED TO SULFURIC ACID GENERATES
HEAT AND CAUSES SPATTERING. REACTS VIOLENTLY WITH MOST METALS TO
YIELD EXPLOSIVE/FLAMMABLE HYDROGEN GAS.

Spill Release Procedures:VENTILATE AREA. CONFINE SPILL WITH
NONCOMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS.. DO NOT ALLOW RUNOFF TO SEWER. CLEAN-UP
PERSONNEL SHOULD USE PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT AND CLOTHING. ABSORB WITH
VERMICULITE,DRY SAND,EARTH.NEUT RALIZE AND DEPOSIT IN
APROPRIATE,SEALEDCONTAINER.
Neutralizing Agent:LIME, SODA ASH, SODIUM BICARBONATE.

Handling and Storage Precautions:STORE IN WELL VENTILATED, COOL, DRY
AREA PROTECTED FROM SEVERE WEATHER AND AWAY FROM FIRE, SPARKS,
HEAT. SEPARATE FROM INCOMPATIBLE MATERIALS.
Other Precautions:STORE AND HANDLE ONLY IN AREAS WITH UNLIMITED WATER
SUPPLY AND WHERE SPILLS CAN BE CONTROLLED. AVOID SPILLS, LEAKS OR
DAMAGE TO CONTAINERS. WHEN DILUTING, ALWAYS POUR ACID SLOWLY INTO
WATER. KEEP CONT AINERS TIGHTLY CLOSED.

Respiratory Protection:NONE REQUIRED UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS. WHEN
CONCENTRATIONS OF SULFURIC ACID ARE KNOWN TO EXCEED PEL, USE
NIOSH-APPROVED, FITTED, FULL FACE RESPIRATOR WITH ACID GAS CANISTER
AND/OR HEPA FILTER OR ANY S UPPLIED AIR RESPIRATOR OR SCBA.
Ventilation:LOCAL EXHAUST PREFERRED. MECHANICAL ACCEPTABLE IF
CONCENTRATION STAYS BELOW PEL. USE ACID AND EXPLOSION PROOF
EQUIPMENT.
Protective Gloves:ACID RESISTANT RUBBER OR PLASTIC GLOVES.
Eye Protection:CHEMICAL SPLASH GOGGLES W/FACE SHIELD.
Other Protective Equipment:WEAR ACID-RESISTANT APRON. UNDER SEVERE
EXPOSURE OR EMERGENCY CONDITIONS, WEAR ACID-RESISTANT CLOTHING AND
BOOTS.
Work Hygienic Practices:WASH AFTER HANDLING AND BEFORE EATING,
DRINKING, OR SMOKING. LAUNDER CONTAMINATED CLOTHING BEFORE REUSE.
Supplemental Safety and Health
WHEREVER SULFURIC ACID IS HANDLED IN CONCENTRATIONS GREATER THAN 1%,
PROVIDE EMERGENCY EYE WASH STATION AND SAFETY SHOWER. WATER SUPPLY
SHOULD BE AT LEAST 0.4 GALLON PER MINUTE FOR EYEWASH AND 30 GALL ON
PER MINUTE FOR BODY FLUSHING, AND SUFFICIENT TO CONTINUE FLUSHING
FOR AT LEAST 15 MINUTES.
