Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:SYMPS & HLTH HAZS FOR DILUTE NITRIC
ACID ARE EXPECTED TO BE LESS SEV THAN EXPOS TO CONCENTRATED NITRIC
ACID. HOWEVER, SINCE NITRIC ACID IS IN SOLN AT 1% (OR 10,000 PPM)
OR GREATER, HLTH HAZS FOR CONCE NTRATED NITRIC ACID ARE GIVEN. THIS
SOLN MAY BE HARMFUL IF INHALED, INGESTED OR CONTACTED W/SKIN OR
(EFTS OF OVEREXP)
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:NOT RELEVANT
Effects of Overexposure:HLTH HAZ: EYES. BARIUM CMPDS CAN BE POISONOUS.
SYMPS OF EXPOS TO BARIUM ARE GASTROENTERITIS, SLOW PULSE RATE, MUSC
PARALYSIS & DERMAL, NASAL & BRONCH IRRIT. CONCENTRATED NITRIC ACID
MAY BE FATAL IF TO O MUCH IS INHALED/ABSORBED THRU SKIN.
