Routes of Entry: Inhalation:YES Skin:YES Ingestion:YES
Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:NO IARC:NO OSHA:NO
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:SYMPS & HEALTH HAZARDS FOR DILUTE
NITRIC ACID ARE EXPECTED TO BE LESS SEVERE THAN EXPOSURE TO
CONCENTRATED NITRIC ACID. HOWEVER, SINCE NITRIC ACID IS IN SOLUTION
AT 1% (OR 10,000 PPM) OR GREATER, HEAL TH HAZARDS FOR CONCENTRATED
NITRIC ACIDARE GIVEN. THIS SOLUTION MAY CAUSE IRRIT IF INHALED,
INGESTED OR ABSORBED THRU SKIN. IT WILL CAUSE IRRIT IF IT COMES
INTO CONTACT W/EYES. TRIVALENT CHROMIUM SALT S ARE CONSIDERED TO BE
CARCIN. HOWEVER, THERE IS NOT ENOUGH INFO ABOUT CARCIN OF
HEXAVALENT CHROMIUM SALTS SUCH AS CHROMIUM NITRATE. CARCINOMA OF
LUNGS IS OF GREATEST CONCERN ASSOCIATED W/INDUSTRIAL ( EFTS OF
OVEREXP)
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:NOT RELEVANT
Effects of Overexposure:HLTH HAZ: EXPOS TO CHROMIUM. PRLNGD EXPOS CAN
CAUSE DMG TO LIVER & KIDNEYS & PROMOTE STOMACH PAINS, VOMIT, DIARR
& GASTRIC CANCER. BLOOD CHANGES SUCH AS LEUKOCYTOSIS, LEUKOPENIA,
MONOCYTOSIS & EOSINOP HILLA MAY ALSO OCCUR FOLLOWING EXPOS TO
CHROMIUM CMPDS. CONCENTRATED NITRIC ACID MAY BE FATAL IF TOO MUCH
IS INHALED/ABSORBED THRU SKIN. CONCENTRATED NITRIC ACID VAP/MIST IS
IRRITANT OF EYES, MUC MEMB S & SKIN. IN CNTCT W/EYES, PRDCES SEV
BURNS WHICH MAY RSLT IN PERM DMG & VISUAL IMPAIRMENT. ON SKIN,
LIQ/CONCENTRATED VAP PRDCES IMMED, SEV & PENETRATING BURNS;
CONCENTRATED SOLNS CAUSE DEEP ULCERS & STAIN SKIN BRIGHT YELLOW OR
(SUPDAT)
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:NONE SPECIFIED BY MANUFACTURER.

First Aid:EYES: FLUSH W/WATER FOR AT LEAST 15 MIN OCCASIONALLY LIFTING
UPPER & LOWER EYELIDS. SKIN: REMOVE CONTAMINATED CLOTHING THEN
FLUSH W/WATER FOR AT LEAST 15 MIN. WASH CLOTHING THOROUGHLY BEFORE
REUSE. IN HAL: MOVE TO FRESH AIR. INGEST: DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING.
GET IMMED MEDICAL HELP. IF PATIENT IS CONSCIOUS, GIVE LARGE
QUANTITIES OF WATER OR MILK. IF IRRITATION CONTINUES, GET MEDICAL
ATTENTION IMMED.

Extinguishing Media:APPROPRIATE TO SURROUNDING FIRE CONDITIONS.
Fire Fighting Procedures:USE NIOSH APPROVED SCBA AND FULL PROTECTIVE
EQUIPMENT .
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:CONCENTRATED HNO*3 IS NOT COMBUST BUT IS
STRONG OXIDIZER & ITS HEAT OF RXN W/REDUCING AGENTS/COMBUSTS MAY
CAUSE IGNIT. CAN REACT W/METALS TO RELS FLAM HYDROGEN GAS.
CONCENTRATED HNO*3 REACTS EXPLO W/C OMBUST ORGANIC OR READILY
OXIDIZABLE MATLS SUCH AS ALCOHOL, WOOD, TURPENTINE, METAL POWDERS,
HYDROGEN SULFIDE, ETC.

Spill Release Procedures:VENT AREA. DILUTE SPILL W/WATER & NEUTRALIZE
W/SODA ASH, LIMESTONE, ETC. WIPE UP & PUT INTO SEALED CNTNR FOR
PROPER DISP. WASH SPILL SITE OFF W/WATER AFTER MATL PICK UP IS
COMPLETE. WEAR CHEM RESIST G LASSES, GLOVES & CLTHG. WEAR NIOSH
APPRVD RESP.
Neutralizing Agent:NEUTRALIZE W/SODA ASH, LIMESTONE, ETC.

Handling and Storage Precautions:CONCENTRATED NITRIC ACID WILL ATTACK
SOME FORMS OF PLASTICS, RUBBER & COATINGS. STORE AT ROOM TEMP. KEEP
TIGHTLY SEALED WHEN NOT IN USE.
Other Precautions:WARNING: IRRITANT, OXIDIZER, CORROSIVE. AVOID
INHALATION, INGESTION AND CONTACT WITH EYES AND SKIN. WASH
CAREFULLY AFTER USE.

Respiratory Protection:WEAR NIOSH APPROVED RESPIRATOR.
Ventilation:USE IN A CHEMICAL FUME HOOD.
Protective Gloves:CHEMICAL RESISTANT GLOVES.
Eye Protection:ANSI APPROVED CHEMICAL WORKERS GOGGLES AND FULL LENGTH
FACESHIELD .
Other Protective Equipment:ANSI APPROVED EYE WASH & DELUGE SHOWER .
WEAR CHEMICAL RESISTANT CLOTHING.

Supplemental Safety and Health
MFR'S TRADE NAME/PART #: PPM CHROMIUM IN 2% NITRIC ACID. EFTS OF
OVEREXP: YELLOWISH BROWN COLOR. VAP & MIST MAY ERODE EXPOSED TEETH
W/PRLNGD EXPOS. INGEST OF LIQ WILL CAUSE IMMED PAIN & BURNS OF
MOUTH , ESOPHAGUS & GI TRACT. INHAL MAY BE FATAL CAUSING SPASM,
INFLAM & EDEMA OF LARYNX & BRONCHI, CHEM (OTHER INFO)

Stability Indicator/Materials to Avoid:YES
CONCENTRATED HNO*3 IS POWERFUL OXIDIZING AGENT. IT REACTS EXPLO
W/COMBUST ORGANIC OR READILY OXIDIZABLE MATLS SUCH AS ALCOHOL,
WOOD, TURPENTINE, METAL POWDERS, HYDROGEN SULFIDE, ETC. CONTACT
WITH STRONG BASES WILL CAUSE VIO
Stability Condition to Avoid:STABLE UNDER NORMAL STORAGE & USE.
