======================= First Aid Measures =======================
Eyes:FLUSH W/WATER FOR AT LEAST 15 MIN OCCASIONALLY LIFTING
UPPER & LOWER EYELIDS. SKIN: REMOVE CONTAMINATED CLOTHING, THEN
FLUSH W/WATER FOR AT LEAST 15 MIN. WASH CLOTHING THOROUGHLY BEFORE
REUSE. IN HAL: MOVE TO FRESH AIR. INGEST: DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING.
GET IMMEDIATE MEDICAL HELP. IF CONSCIOUS, GIVE LARGE AMOUNTS OF
WATER OR MILK. IF IRRITATION CONTINUES, GET MEDICAL ATTENTION
IMMEDIATELY.
===================== Fire Fighting Measures =====================
Extinguishing Media:APPROPRIATE TO SURROUNDING FIRE CONDITIONS.
Fire Fighting Procedures:USE NIOSH/MSHA APPROVED SCBA AND FULL
PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT .
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:CONC HNO*3 IS NOT COMBUST BUT IS STRONG
OXIDIZER & ITS HEAT OF RXN W/REDUCING AGENTS/COMBUSTS MAY CAUSE
IGNIT. CAN REACT W/METALS TO RELS FLAM HYDROGEN (SUPDAT)
Spill Release Procedures:VENT AREA. DILUTE SPILL W/WATER & NEUT W/SODA
ASH, LIMESTONE, ETC. WIPE UP & PUT INTO SEALED CNTNR FOR PROPER
DISP. WASH SPILL SITE OFF W/WATER AFTER MATL PICK UP IS COMPLETE.
WEAR CHEM RESISTANT GLAS SES, GLOVES & CLTHG. WEAR NIOSH/MSHA
APPRVD RESP.
Neutralizing Agent:DILUTE SPILL WITH WATER & NEUTRALIZE WITH SODA ASH,
LIMESTONE, ETC.
====================== Handling and Storage ======================
Handling and Storage Precautions:CONCENTRATED NITRIC ACID WILL ATTACK
SOME FORMS OF PLASTIC, RUBBER & COATINGS. STORE AT ROOM
TEMPERATURE. KEEP TIGHTLY SEALED WHEN NOT IN USE.
Other Precautions:AVOID INHALATION, INGESTION AND CONTACT WITH EYES AND
SKIN.
Respiratory Protection:WEAR NIOSH/MSHA APPROVED RESPIRATOR.
Ventilation:USE IN A CHEMICAL FUME HOOD.
Protective Gloves:CHEMICAL RESISTANT GLOVES.
Eye Protection:ANSI APPRVD CHEM WORKERS GOGGS (ING 11)
Other Protective Equipment:CHEMICAL RESISTANT CLOTHING. LAB COAT. EMERG
EYE WASH AND DELUGE SHOWER WHICH MEET ANSI DESIGN CRITERIA .
Work Hygienic Practices:WASH CAREFULLY AFTER USE.
