**** SECTION 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION ****

EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Reacts violently with water. Very toxic by inhalation. Causes
burns.Hygroscopic (absorbs moisture from the air).

Potential Health Effects
Eye:
Causes eye burns.
Skin:
Causes skin burns.
Ingestion:
Causes gastrointestinal tract burns.
Inhalation:
May be fatal if inhaled. Causes chemical burns to the respiratory
tract.
Chronic:
Workers chronically exposed to sulfuric acid mists may show various
lesions of the skin, tracheobronchitis, stomatitis, conjunctivitis,
or gastritis. Occupational exposure to strong inorganic acid mists
containing sulfuric acid is carcinogenic to humans.

**** 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 for
at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes.
Get medical aid immediately. 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:
POISON material. If inhaled, get medical aid immediately. Remove
victim to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration.
If breathing is difficult, give oxygen.
Notes to Physician:
Treat symptomatically and supportively.

**** 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. Reacts with most metals in the presence of
moisture, liberating extremely flammable hydrogen gas. Reacts with
steam to form corrosive, toxic fumes of sulfuric acid. Approach fire
from upwind to avoid hazardous vapors and toxic decomposition
products. Strong dehydrating agent, which may cause ignition of
finely divided materials on contact. Oxides of sulfur may be
produced in fire. SO3 chars many organic substances due to its
avidity for water. On contact with wood shavings, the heat produced
by dehydration is sufficient to cause fire.
Extinguishing Media:
Do NOT use water directly on fire. Use carbon dioxide or dry
chemical. Do NOT get water inside containers.

**** SECTION 6 - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES ****

General Information: Use proper personal protective equipment as indicated
in Section 8.
Spills/Leaks:
Avoid runoff into storm sewers and ditches which lead to waterways.
Clean up spills immediately, observing precautions in the Protective
Equipment section. Absorb spill using an absorbent, non-combustible
material such as earth, sand, or vermiculite. Do not use combustible
materials such as sawdust. Provide ventilation. Do not get water
inside containers. Evacuate unnecessary personnel. Approach spill
from upwind.

**** SECTION 7 - HANDLING and STORAGE ****

Handling:
Wash thoroughly after handling. Remove contaminated clothing and
wash before reuse. Do not get in eyes, on skin, or on clothing. Keep
container tightly closed. Do not allow contact with water. Discard
contaminated shoes. Do not breathe vapor. Store absolutely dry. Do
not use with metal spatula or other metal items. Use only with
adequate ventilation or respiratory protection.
Storage:
Keep from freezing. Keep container closed when not in use. Store in
a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible substances.
Store at around 20C. Store in a suitable container in a dry area
above the substance's freezing point. Do NOT freeze.

**** SECTION 8 - EXPOSURE CONTROLS, PERSONAL PROTECTION ****

Engineering Controls:
Use explosion-proof ventilation equipment. Facilities storing or
utilizing this material should be equipped with an eyewash facility
and a safety shower. Use adequate ventilation to keep airborne
concentrations low. Use a corrosion-resistant ventilation system.
