Routes of Entry: Inhalation:YES Skin:NO Ingestion:YES
Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:NO IARC:NO OSHA:NO
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:TARGET ORGANS:EYE, SKIN, RESPIRATORY &
GI TRACTS. ACUTE- CORROSIVE! CAUSES SEVERE EYES & SKIN BURNS. MIST
IS EXTREMELY IRRITATING TO RESPIRATORY TRACT. CONTACT WITH EYES MAY
RESULT IN BLINDNESS. SWALL OWING MAY BE FATAL. INHALATION MAY
DAMAGE RESPIRATORY TRACT. CHRONIC- MAY CAUSE DENTAL EROSION,
DERMATITIS, BRONCHITIS.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:NONE
Effects of Overexposure:SEVERE IRRITATION AND BURNING, VISUAL
IMPAIRMENT, DENTAL EROSION, COUGH, POSSIBLE CHARRING OF SKIN, PAIN,
BLINDNESS
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:OPEN WOUNDS AND SORES, RESPIRATORY
AILMENTS SUCH AS EMPHYSEMIA AND BRONCHITIS

First Aid:GET MEDICAL ATTENTION IMMEDIATELY. EYE/SKIN:IMMEDIATELY FLUSH
WITH WATER FOR 15-20 MINUTES. HOLD EYELIDS OPEN. CONTINUE RINSING
WITH NORMAL SALINE UNTIL PH=7. INHALED:REMOVE TO FRESH AIR. PROVIDE
OXYG EN/CPR IF NEEDED. ORAL:DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. IF CONSCIOUS,
DRINK LARGE AMOUNT OF WATER/MILK. INGESTED ACID MUST BE DILUTED
ABOUT 100 FOLDS. IF VOMITING OCCURS, KEEP HEAD BELOW HIPS.

Flash Point:NONFLAMMABLE
Extinguishing Media:WATER SPRAY, CARBON DIOXIDE, SAND, FOAM/DRY
CHEMICAL. COOL FIRE EXPOSED CONTAINERS WITH WATER. NO WATER OVER
ACID.
Fire Fighting Procedures:WEAR FULL PROTECTIVE CLOTHING AND
NIOSH-APPROVED SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS WITH FULL
FACEPIECE OPERATED IN THE POSITIVE PRESSURE MODE.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:VIOLENT REACTION WITH WATER. EVOLUTION OF
EXPLOSIVE HYDROGEN GAS ON CONTACT WITH MOST METALS. WILL REACT WITH
ORGANIC MATERIAL YIELDING HEAT & DENSE WHITE FUMES

Spill Release Procedures:WEAR PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENTS. REMOVE IGNITION
SOURCES(H2 MAY BE PRESENT). KEEP COMBUSTIBLES AWAY. STOP LEAK IF
POSSIBLE. VENTILATE & NEUTRALIZE WITH SODA ASH/LIME. ABSORB WITH
INERT MATERIAL. SCOOP INTO DRUM. DO NOT GET WATER INSIDE
CONTAINER/SPILL.
Neutralizing Agent:SUITABLE ALKALI SUCH AS LIME OR SODA ASH

Handling and Storage Precautions:STORE IN TIGHTLY CLOSED CONTAINER,
AWAY FROM INCOMPATIBLE MATERIALS. KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.
Other Precautions:WHEN DILUTING, SLOWLY ADD ACID TO WATER WHILE
STIRRING, TO AVOID SPATTERING, BOILING AND ERUPTION. DO NOT STRIKE
CONTAINERS OR FITTINGS WITH TOOLS. STORE AWAY FROM SOURCES OF
IGNITION. EMPTIED CONTAIN ER WILL RETAIN PRODUCT RESIDUE.

Respiratory Protection:USE NIOSH APPROVED, FULL-FACED RESPIRATOR WITH
CANISTER APPROVED FOR SULFURIC ACID VAPOR & MIST IF TLV EXCEEDED.
IF CONCENTRATIONS ARE HIGH/UNKNOWN, USE SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING
APPARATUS.
Ventilation:PROVIDE VENTILATION TO CONTROL EXPOSURE LEVELS BELOW
AIRBORNE EXPOSURE LIMITS. USE LOCAL EXHAUST VENTILATION.

Eye Protection:SPLASH-PROOF CHEMICAL SAFETY GOGGLES
Other Protective Equipment:PROTECTIVE CLOTHING, RUBBER FOOTWEAR, ACID
RESISTANT HOOD AND FULL BODY SUIT RECOMMENDED, SAFETY SHOWER,
EYEWASH.
Work Hygienic Practices:OBSERVE GOOD INDUSTRIAL HYGIENE PRACTICES AND
RECOMMENDED PROCEDURES.
