===================== Hazards Identification =====================
LD50 LC50 Mixture:RAT,LC50:510MG/M3/2H;LD50:2140MG/KGRTECS
Routes of Entry: Inhalation:YES Skin:NO Ingestion:YES
Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:NO IARC:NO OSHA:NO
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:TARGET ORGANS:EYE, SKIN, RESPIRATORY &
GI TRACTS. CORROSIVE! CAUSES SEVERE EYES & SKIN BURNS. VAPOR
EXTREMELY IRRITATING TO RESPIRATORY TRACT. CONTACT WITH EYES MAY
RESULT IN BLINDNESS. SWALLOWING MAY BE FATAL. INHALATION MAY
DAMAGE RESPIRATORY TRACT. CHRONIC EXPOSURE MAY CAUSE DENTAL
EROSION, DERMATITIS, BRONCHITIS.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:NONE
Effects of Overexposure:SEVERE EYE, SKIN, RESPIRATORY AND
GASTROINTESTINAL TRACTS IRRITATION AND BURNING, VISUAL IMPAIRMENT,
DENTAL EROSION, NASAL SECRETION, SNEEZING, SHALLOW AND RAPID
BREATHING, A BURNING/TICKLING SENSATIO N FOLLOWED BY COUGH,
UNCONSCIOUSNESS, POSSIBLE CHARRING OF SKIN, MOUTH, THROAT AND
ESOPHAGUS PAIN, BLINDNESS
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:OPEN WOUNDS AND SORES, RESPIRATORY
AILMENTS SUCH AS EMPHYSEMIA AND BRONCHITIS
======================= First Aid Measures =======================
First Aid:GET MEDICAL ATTENTION IMMEDIATELY. EYE/SKIN:IMMEDIATELY FLUSH
WITH WATER FOR 15-20 MINUTES. HOLD EYELIDS OPEN. CONTINUE RINSING
WITH NORMAL SALINE UNTIL PH=7. INHALED:REMOVE TO FRESH AIR &
PROVIDE OXY GEN/CPR IF NEEDED. ORAL:DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. IF
CONSCIOUS, DRINK LARGE AMOUNT OF WATER/MILK. INGESTED ACID MUST BE
DILUTED ABOUT 100 FOLDS. IF VOMITING OCCURS, KEEP HEAD BELOW HIPS.
===================== Fire Fighting Measures =====================
Flash Point:NONFLAMMABLE
Extinguishing Media:USE DRY CHEMICALS OR CARBON DIOXIDE BASE FIRE
EXTINGUISHERS TO FIGHT SURROUNDING FIRES. DO NOT USE WATER ON ACID.
Fire Fighting Procedures:APPLY EXTINGUISHING MEDIA FROM FARTHEST
POSSIBLE DISTANCE. WEAR SCBA AND FULL PROTECTIVE CLOTHING. COOL
EXTERIOR OF STORAGE CONTAINERS WITH WATER SPRAY.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:VIOLENT REACTION WITH WATER. EVOLUTION OF
EXPLOSIVE HYDROGEN GAS ON CONTACT WITH MOST METALS. WILL REACT WITH
ORGANIC MATERIAL YIELDING HEAT & DENSE WHITE FUMES
================== Accidental Release Measures ==================
Spill Release Procedures:WEAR PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENTS. REMOVE IGNITION
SOURCES(H2 MAY BE PRESENT). KEEP COMBUSTIBLES AWAY. STOP LEAK IF
POSSIBLE. VENTILATE & NEUTRALIZE WITH SODA ASH/LIME. ABSORB WITH
NEUTRAL MATERIAL. SCOOP IN TO DRUM. DO NOT GET WATER INSIDE
CONTAINER/SPILL.
Neutralizing Agent:SUITABLE ALKALI SUCH AS LIME OR SODA ASH
====================== Handling and Storage ======================
Handling and Storage Precautions:STORE IN TIGHTLY CLOSED CONTAINER,
AWAY FROM LIGHT & INCOMPATIBLE MATERIALS. KEEP OUT OF REACH OF
CHILDREN.
Other Precautions:WHEN DILUTING, SLOWLY ADD ACID TO WATER WHILE
STIRRING, TO AVOID SPATTERING, BOILING AND ERUPTION. DO NOT STRIKE
CONTAINERS OR FITTINGS WITH TOOLS. STORE AWAY FROM SOURCES OF
IGNITION. EMPTIED CONTAIN ER WILL RETAIN PRODUCT RESIDUE.
============= Exposure Controls/Personal Protection =============
Respiratory Protection:USE NIOSH APPROVED, FULL-FACED RESPIRATOR WITH
CANISTER APPROVED FOR SULFURIC ACID VAPOR & MIST. CONSULT
RESPIRATOR MANUFACTURER TO DETERMINE APPROPRIATE EQUIPMENT. IF
CONCENTRATIONS ARE HIGH/UNKNOWN, USE SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING
APPARATUS.
Ventilation:PROVIDE VENTILATION TO CONTROL EXPOSURE LEVELS BELOW
AIRBORNE EXPOSURE LIMITS. USE LOCAL EXHAUST VENTILATION.
Protective Gloves:RUBBER
Eye Protection:SPLASH-PROOF CHEMICAL SAFETY GOGGLES
Other Protective Equipment:PROTECTIVE CLOTHING, RUBBER FOOTWEAR, ACID
RESISTANT HOOD AND FULL BODY SUIT RECOMMENDED, SAFETY SHOWER,
EYEWASH.
Work Hygienic Practices:OBSERVE GOOD INDUSTRIAL HYGIENE PRACTICES AND
RECOMMENDED PROCEDURES.
