**** SECTION 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION ****
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Irritating to eyes, respiratory system and skin.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
Causes eye irritation.
Skin:
Causes skin irritation. Concentrated nitric acid dyes human skin
yellow on contact.
Ingestion:
Causes gastrointestinal tract irritation.
Inhalation:
Causes respiratory tract irritation. Inhalation of high
concentrations may cause pulmonary edema.
Chronic:
Exposure to high concentrations of nitric acid vapor may cause
pneuomonitis and pulmonary edema which may be fatal. Symptoms may or
may not be delayed. Continued exposure to the vapor & mist of nitric
acid may result in a chronic bronchitis, & more severe exposure
results in a chemical pneumonitis. The vapor & mists of nitric acid
may erode the teeth, particularly affecting the canines & incisors.
**** SECTION 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES ****
Eyes:
In case of contact, immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for
at least 15 minutes. Get medical aid immediately.
Skin:
In case of contact, immediately flush skin with plenty of water.
Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Get medical aid. Wash
clothing before reuse.
Ingestion:
If swallowed, do NOT induce vomiting. Get medical aid immediately.
If victim is fully conscious, give a cupful of water. Never give
anything by mouth to an unconscious person.
Inhalation:
If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial
respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical aid.
Notes to Physician:
**** SECTION 5 - FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES ****
General Information:
As in any fire, wear a self-contained breathing apparatus in
pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent), and full
protective gear. During a fire, irritating and highly toxic gases
may be generated by thermal decomposition or combustion. Use water
spray to keep fire-exposed containers cool. May react with metal
surfaces to form flammable and explosive hydrogen gas. Approach fire
from upwind to avoid hazardous vapors and toxic decomposition
products. Concentrated nitric acid is a strong oxidizer and contact
with other material may cause fire.
Extinguishing Media:
Use extinguishing media most appropriate for the surrounding fire.
**** SECTION 6 - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES ****
General Information: Use proper personal protective equipment as indicated
in Section 8.
Spills/Leaks:
Absorb spill using an absorbent, non-combustible material such as
earth, sand, or vermiculite. Do not use combustible materials such
as sawdust. Provide ventilation. Approach spill from upwind. Use
water spray to cool and disperse vapors and protect personnel.
**** SECTION 7 - HANDLING and STORAGE ****
Handling:
Wash thoroughly after handling. Remove contaminated clothing and
wash before reuse. Use with adequate ventilation. Keep container
tightly closed. Discard contaminated shoes. Avoid breathing vapor or
mist. Do not use with metal spatula or other metal items. Do not get
in eyes. Avoid contact with skin and clothing.
Storage:
Keep container closed when not in use. Keep away from metals.
Corrosives area. Store in a cool, dry area away from incompatible
substances. Store away from alkalies.
**** SECTION 8 - EXPOSURE CONTROLS, PERSONAL PROTECTION ****
Engineering Controls:
Facilities storing or utilizing this material should be equipped
with an eyewash facility and a safety shower. Use adequate general or
local exhaust ventilation to keep airborne concentrations below the
permissible exposure limits.
