Routes of Entry: Inhalation:YES Skin:YES Ingestion:YES
Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:NO IARC:NO OSHA:NO
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:ACUTE: VAPOR/MIST CAN CAUSE IRRITATION
OF THE NOSE, THROAT, & UPPER RESPIRATORY TRACT. HCL CAN CAUSE EYE
IRRITATION, SEVERE BURNS & PERMANENT BLINDNESS. MAY CAUSE SEVERE
SKIN BURNS ON CONTACT. IF INGE STED, HCL CAUSES SEVERE BURNS OF THE
MOUTH, ESOPHAGUS, AND STOMACH. CHRONIC: EROSION OF TEETH,
BRONCHITIS & DERMATITIS.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:HYDROCHLORIC ACID IS NOT LISTED BY IARC,
NTP, OR OSHA AS A CARCINOGEN.
Effects of Overexposure:INHALATION: IRRITATION OR RESPIRATORY TRACT,
COUGHING & CHOKING; BLEEDING OF NOSE & GUMS; PULMONARY EDEMA; AND
CORROSION OF TISSUES IN NOSE & THROAT. EYES: BURNS, PAIN, BLURRED
VISION OR BLINDNESS. SK IN: REDNESS AND BURNS. INGESTION:
PAIN,NAUSEA, VOMITING, THIRST, DIARRHEA, CIRCULATORY COLLAPSE AND
POSSIBLY DEATH.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:PERSONS WITH A HISTORY OF AILMENTS
OR WITH A PRE-EXISTING DISEASE INVOLVING THE EYES, SKIN, OR
RESPIRATORY SYSTEM MAY BE AT INCREASED RISK FROM EXPOSURE.

First Aid:INHALATION: REMOVE TO FRESH AIR. IF NOT BREATHING, GIVE
ARTIFICIAL RESPIRATION. GET MEDICAL ATTENTION. EYES: IMMEDIATELY
FLUSH WITH WATER FOR 15 MINUTES, LIFTING EYELIDS. GET MEDICAL
ATTENTION. SKIN: IMMEDIATELY RINSE WITH WATER. REMOVE CONTAMINATED
CLOTHING. GET MEDICAL ATTENTION. INGESTION: DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING.
IF VICTIM IS CONSCIOUS, RINSE MOUTH WITH WATER. GET IMMEDIATE
MEDICAL ATTENTION.

Lower Limits:NONE
Upper Limits:NONE
Extinguishing Media:CARBON DIOXIDE, DRY CHEMICAL, FOAM, WATER FOG.
Fire Fighting Procedures:WEAR FIRE FIGHTING PROTECTIVE CLOTHING
SUITABLE FOR ACIDS AND A FULL FACED SELF CONTAINED BREATHING
APPARATUS. USE WATER TO COOL FIRE EXPOSED CONTAINERS.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:FLAMMABLE HYDROGEN GAS IS GENERATED BY
REACTION WITH MANY METALS. WATER SOLUTIONS ARE CORROSIVE.

Spill Release Procedures:STOP OR REDUCE DISCHARGE IF IT CAN BE DONE
WITHOUT RISK. HYDROCHLORIC ACID SHOULD BE RECOVERED IF POSSIBLE.
NEUTRALIZE. CONTAIN SPILL USING ABSORBENT MATERIALS. PREVENT ENTRY
INTO BODIES OF WATER OR SEWER SYSTEMS. WEAR PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT.
Neutralizing Agent:SLOWLY ADD LIME OR SODIUM CARBONATE.

Handling and Storage Precautions:STORE CLOSED CONTAINERS IN A CLEAN,
COOL, WELL VENTILATED AREA WITH ACID RESISTANT FLOOR. KEEP OUT OF
SUN. PROTECT CONTAINERS FROM PHYSICAL DAMAGE.
Other Precautions:KEEP AWAY FROM OXIDIZING AGENTS AND ALKALINE
MATERIALS. DO NOT STORE NEAR OR MIX WITH CYANIDES, SULFIDES OR
FORMALDEHYDE. WHEN DILUTING OR PREPARING SOLUTIONS, SLOWLY ADD ACID
TO WATER TO AVOID BOILIN G OR SPLATTERING.

Respiratory Protection:TO 50 PPM: SUPPLIED AIR RESPIRATOR(SAR);
SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS(SCBA); CHEMICAL CARTRIDGE
RESPIRATOR OR POWERED AIR-PURIFYING RESPIRATOR WITH CARTRIDGE(S) TO
PROTECT AGAINST HYDROGEN CHLOR IDE. TO 100 PPM: FULL-FACE SAR OR
SCBA.
