Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:SYMPS & HLTH HAZ FOR DILUTE NITRIC
ACID ARE EXPECTED TO BE LESS SEV THAN EXPOS TO CONC NITRIC ACID.
HOWEVER, SINCE NITRIC ACID IS IN SOLN @ 1% (OR 10,000 PPM) OR
GREATER, HLTH HAZ FOR CONC NITRIC ACID ARE GIVEN. ACUTE:IRON MAY
BE HARMFUL IF INGESTED, INHALED, OR CONT W/SKIN OR EYES. IT CAN BE
(EFTS OF OVEREXP)
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:NOT RELEVANT.
Effects of Overexposure:HLTH HAZ:PARTICULARLY IRRIT TO MUC MEMB OF
UPPER RESP TRACT. CONC NITRIC ACID MAY BE FATAL IF TOO MUCH IS
INHAL/ABSORB THRU SKIN. CONC NITRIC ACID VAP/MIST IS IRRITANT OF
