===================== Hazards Identification =====================
LD50 LC50 Mixture:LD50 (ORAL RAT) IS 2140 MG/KG
Routes of Entry: Inhalation:YES Skin:NO Ingestion:NO
Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:NO IARC:NO OSHA:NO
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:INHALATION OF VAPORS CAUSES SEVERE
IRRITATION OR BURNS OF THE RESPIRATORY SYSTEM, PULMONARY EDEMA, OR
LUNG INFLAMMATION. EYE CONTACT CAUSES SEVERE DAMAGE AND POSSIBLE
BLINDNESS. SKIN CONTACT CAUSES BU RNS AND POSSIBLE DEEP ULCERATION.
INGESTION CAUSES SEVERE BURNS TO MOUTH, THROAT, AND STOMACH.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:THIS CHEMICAL IS NOT LISTED BY IARC,
NTP, OR OSHA AS A CARCINOGEN.
Effects of Overexposure:SEVERE IRRITATION OR BURNS TO EYES, NOSE, AND
THROAT. PULMONARY EDEMA, BRONICAL EMPHYSEMA, CONJUNCTIVITIS,
STOMATITIS, DENTAL EROSION, NAUSEA, AND VOMITING.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:PERSONS WITH A HISTORY OF AILMENTS
OR WITH A PRE-EXISTING DISEASE INVOLVING THE RESPIRATORY TRACT MAY
BE AT INCREASED RISK FROM EXPOSURE.
======================= First Aid Measures =======================
First Aid:INHALATION: GET FRESH AIR. RESUSCITATE IF NOT BREATHING. GET
MEDICAL ATTENTION. EYES: IMMEDIATELY FLUSH WITH PLENTY OF WATER FOR
15 MINUTES HOLDING EYELIDS OPEN. GET PROMPT MEDICAL ATTENTION.
SKIN: RE MOVE CONTAMINATED CLOTHING. WASH WITH PLENTY OF WATER FOR
15 MINUTES. GET MEDICAL ADVICE. INGESTION: DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING.
GIVE SEVERAL GLASSES OF MILK OR WATER. GET IMMEDIATE MEDICAL
ATTENTION.
===================== Fire Fighting Measures =====================
Flash Point:NOT FLAMMABLE
Extinguishing Media:USE WATER SPRAY. AVOID SPRAYING WATER INTO
CONTAINERS. IF ONLY A SMALL AMOUNT OF A COMBUSTIBLE IS PRESENT,
SMOTHER FIRE.
Fire Fighting Procedures:WEAR FIRE FIGHTING PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT AND A
FULL FACED SELF CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS. COOL FIRE EXPOSED
CONTAINERS WITH WATER SPRAY.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:FLAMMABLE AND POTENTIALLY EXPLOSIVE
HYDROGEN GAS CAN BE GENERATED INSIDE METAL DRUMS AND STORAGE TANKS.
CONCENTRARED SULFURIC ACID CAN IGNITE COMBUSTIBLES.
================== Accidental Release Measures ==================
Spill Release Procedures:DILUTE SMALL SPILLS OR LEAKS CAUTIOUSLY WITH
PLENTY OF WATER. NEUTRALIZE RESIDUE WITH ALKALI SUCH AS SODA ASH OR
LIME WITH ADEQUATE VENTILATION DUE TO RELEASE OF CARBON DIOXIDE.
MAJOR SPILLS MUST BE H ANDLED BY A PREDETERMINED PLAN.
Neutralizing Agent:SODIUM BICARBONATE OR A SODA ASH/SLAKED LIME MIXTURE
(50-50)
====================== Handling and Storage ======================
Handling and Storage Precautions:LOOSEN CLOSURES CAREFULLY. FOR CARYING
GLASS BOTTLES, USE RUBBER PROTECTIVE ENCLOSURES. IF STORED IN METAL
CONTAINERS, VAPORS CAN CONTAIN HYDROGEN GAS
Other Precautions:ADDITION TO WATER RELEASES HEAT WHICH CAN RESULT IN
VIOLENT BOILING AND SPATTERING. ALWAYS ADD SLOWLY AND IN SMALL
AMOUNTS. NEVER USE HOT WATER. NEVER ADD WATER TO ACIDS. ALWAYS ADD
ACIDS TO WATER. EM PTY CONTAINERS MAY BE HAZARDOUS.
============= Exposure Controls/Personal Protection =============
Respiratory Protection:NONE REQUIRED WHERE ADEQUATE VENTILATION
CONDITIONS EXIST. IF AIRBORNE CONCENTRATION EXCEEDS TLV, A NIOSH
APPROVED SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS IS RECOMMENDED. IF
MISTING, WEAR GAS MASK WITH ACI D GAS CANISTER AND PARTICULATE
FILTER.
Ventilation:USE SUFFICIENT MECHANICAL (GENERAL) VENTILATION TO MAINTAIN
EXPOSURE BELOW TLV REQUIREMENTS.
Protective Gloves:PVC
Eye Protection:CHEMICAL SPLASH GOGGLES AND FACE SHIELD
Other Protective Equipment:EYE WASH STATION AND SAFETY SHOWER.
INDUSTRIAL-TYPE IMPERVIOUS WORK CLOTHING, BOOTS, AND APRON AS
REQUIRED.
Work Hygienic Practices:OBSERVE GOOD PERSONAL HYGIENE PRACTICES AND
RECOMMENDED PROCEDURES. LAUNDER CONTAMINATED CLOTHING BEFORE REUSE.
Supplemental Safety and Health
AVOID PROLONGED OR REPEATED EXPOSURE. DO NOT GET ON SKIN OR IN EYES. DO
NOT BREATHE VAPORS OR MISTS.
