                  **** SECTION 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION **** 
 
                               EMERGENCY OVERVIEW 
Irritating to respiratory system and skin. Risk of serious damage to 
eyes. 
 
Potential Health Effects 
     Eye: 
          May cause chemical conjunctivitis and corneal damage. 
     Skin: 
          Causes skin irritation. 
     Ingestion: 
          May cause irritation of the digestive tract. 
     Inhalation: 
          Causes respiratory tract irritation. 
     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: 
          Get medical aid immediately. Do NOT allow victim to rub eyes or keep 
          eyes closed. Extensive irrigation with water is required (at least 30 
          minutes). 
     Skin: 
          Get medical aid immediately. Immediately flush skin with plenty of 
          water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing 
          and shoes. Wash clothing before reuse. Destroy contaminated shoes. 
     Ingestion: 
          Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Get medical 
          aid immediately. Do NOT induce vomiting. If conscious and alert, 
          rinse mouth and drink 2-4 cupfuls of milk or water. 
     Inhalation: 
          Get medical aid immediately. Remove from exposure and move to fresh 
          air immediately. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Do NOT use 
          mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. If breathing has ceased apply 
          artificial respiration using oxygen and a suitable mechanical device 
          such as a bag and a mask. 
     Notes to Physician: 
          Administration of Sodium bicarbonate may be of value to treat 
          acidosis. 
 
                  **** 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. Will react 
          with water to form toxic and corrosive fumes. Vapors may accumulate 
          in confined spaces Contact with metals may evolve flammable hydrogen 
          gas. Containers may explode when heated. Non-combustible, substance 
          itself does not burn but may decompose upon heating to produce 
          irritating, corrosive and/or toxic fumes. Runoff from fire control 
          or dilution water may cause pollution. 
     Extinguishing Media: 
          For large fires, use water spray, fog or alcohol-resistant foam. Do 
          NOT use straight streams of water. For small fires, use carbon 
          dioxide, dry chemical, dry sand, or alcohol-resistant foam. Most 
          foams will react with the material and release corrosive/toxic 
          gases. Cool containers with flooding quantities of water until well 
          after fire is out. 
 
                **** SECTION 6 - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES **** 
 
     General Information: Use proper personal protective equipment as indicated 
                          in Section 8. 
     Spills/Leaks: 
          Absorb spill with inert material (e.g. vermiculite, sand or earth), 
          then place in suitable container. Avoid runoff into storm sewers and 
          ditches which lead to waterways. Clean up spills immediately, 
          observing precautions in the Protective Equipment section. Provide 
          ventilation. 
 
                   **** SECTION 7 - HANDLING and STORAGE **** 
 
     Handling: 
          Use only in a well-ventilated area. Do not breathe dust, vapor, 
          mist, or gas. Do not get in eyes, on skin, or on clothing. Keep 
          container tightly closed. Do not ingest or inhale. Discard 
          contaminated shoes. 
     Storage: 
          Keep container closed when not in use. Store in a cool, dry area 
          away from incompatible substances. 
 
          **** 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.
