APPEARS ONNAVY LISTING OF OCCUP CHEM REPROD HAZARDS. SEEK
CONSULTATION (EFTS OF OVEREXP)
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:SULFURIC ACID: IARC MONO, VOL 54, PG 41,
1992: GROUP 1. ARESNIC: IARC MONO, SUPP, VOL 7, PG 100, 1987: GROUP
1. (SUPDAT)
Effects of Overexposure:HLTH HAZ: FROM APPROP HLTH PROFESSIONALS
CONCERNING LATEST HAZARD LIST INFO & SAFE HNDLG & EXPOS INFO .
CHRONIC: INHALATION OF MISTS MAY CAUSE UPPER RESPIRATORY
IRRITATION. TARGET ORGANS: SKIN, EYES, UPPER RESPIRATORY TRACT.
CARCIN: THE IRAC HAS CLASSIFIED "STRONG INORG ACID MIST CNTNG
SULFURIC ACID" AS (SUPDAT)
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:RESPIRATORY DISORDERS MAY BE
AGGRAVATED BY PROLONGED INHALATION OF MISTS.

First Aid:INHAL: REMOVE TO FRESH AIR. SUPPORT BREATHING (GIVE
OXYGEN/ARTIFICIAL RESPIRATION) . SKIN/EYES: FLUSH W/WATER FOR AT
LEAST 15 MINUTES. REMOVE CONTAMINATED CLOTHING. IF IRRITATION
CONTINUES, SEEK MED ATTN. INGEST: DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. DRINK
LARGE QUANTITIES OF MILK/WATER. GIVE CPR IF BREATHING HAS STOPPED.
SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION IMMEDIATELY.

Extinguishing Media:DRY CHEMICAL, HOLON, OR CARBON DIOXIDE.
Fire Fighting Procedures:WEAR NIOSH APPROVED SCBA & FULL PROTECTIVE
EQUIPMENT . VENTILATE THE AREA WELL.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:HYDROGEN GAS MAY BE PRESENT. HYDROGEN GAS
