Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:NO IARC:NO OSHA:NO
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:RAPIDLY CAUSES SEVERE BURNS TO SKIN,
EYE AND ALL BODY TISSUE. INGESTION MAY CAUSE BURNS TO MOUTH,
ESOPHAGUS AND STOMACH. INHALATION OF VAPOR/MIST MAY CAUSE
RESPIRATORY IRRITATION. LONG TERM OVEREXPOSU RE TO VAPOR/MIST MAY
RESULT IN DAMAGE TO TEETH.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:NOT CARCINOGENIC.
Effects of Overexposure:INHALATION-ACID MIST OR VAPORS MAY CAUSE DAMAGE
TO THE UPPER RESPIRATORY TRACT AND EVEN THE LUNG TISSUE PROPER
WHICH COULD PRODUCE DELAYED PULMONARY REACTION, DEPENDING UPON
SEVERITY OF EXPOSURE.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:NONE SPECIFIED BY MANUFACTURER.

First Aid:EYES-IMMEDIATELY FLUSH EYES WITH LARGE AMOUNTS OF WATER FOR
AT LEAST 15 MINUTES. SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION. SKIN-WASH CONTAMINATED
AREAS WITH PLENTY OF WATER. SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION.
INHALATION-REMOVE PE RSON IMMEDIATELY. PERFORM CPR OR GIVE OXYGEN
FOR BREATHING. INGESTION-DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. GIVE LARGE
QUANTITIES OF WATER. IF VOMITING OCCURS, KEEP AIRWAY CLEAR. SEEK
IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION.

Flash Point:NON-FLAMMABLE
Extinguishing Media:FOR FIRES IN THE AREA, USE APPROVED EXTINGUISHING
MEDIA SUCH AS WATER, CARBON DIOXIDE OR DRY CHEMICAL.

CONTACT WITH COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS. DILUTE ACID REACTS WITH MOST
METALS GIVING OFF FLAMMABLE HYDROGEN GAS.

Spill Release Procedures:SPILL AREA SHOULD BE ISOLATED TO AVOID
