Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:SYMPS & HLTH HAZS FOR DILUTE NITRIC
ACID ARE EXPECTED TO BE LESS SEV THAN EXPOS TO CONC NITRIC ACID.
HOWEVER, SINCE NITRIC ACID IS IN SOLN AT 1% (OR 10,000 PPM) OR
GREATER, HLTH HAZS FOR CONC NITRIC A CID ARE GIVEN. THIS SOLN MAY
BE HARMFULIF INGESTED, INHALED/CONTACTED W/SKIN OR EYES. EXPOS TO
LEAD (EFTS OF OVEREXP)
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:NOT RELEVANT
Effects of Overexposure:HLTH HAZ:MAY BE HARMFUL. LEAD EXPOS CAN EFT
BLOOD, NERV SYS, IMMUNE MECHS, CAUSE CYTOGENIC CHANGES, IN ADDN TO
UNDESIRABLE REPRO & MYOCARDIAL EFTS. CONC NITRIC ACID MAY BE FATAL
IF TOO MUCH IS INHALED /ABSORBED THRU SKIN. CONC NITRIC ACID
VAP/MIST IS IRRIT OF EYES, MUC MEMBS & SKIN. IN CONT W/EYES, IT
PRDCES SEV (ING 5)
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:NONE SPECIFIED BY MANUFACTURER.
======================= First Aid Measures =======================
Eyes:FLUSH W/WATER FOR AT LST 15 MINS OCCAS LIFTING UPPER &
LOWER EYELIDS. SKIN:REMOVE CONTAM CLTHG, THEN FLUSH W/WATER FOR AT
LST 15 MINS. WASH CLTHG THORO BEFORE REUSE. INHAL:MOVE TO FRESH
AIR. INGE ST:DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. GET IMMEDIATE MED HELP. IF
PATIENT IS CONSCIOUS, GIVE LARGE AMOUNTS OF WATER OR MILK. IF IRRIT
CONTINUES, GET MEDICAL ATTENTION IMMEDIATELY.
===================== Fire Fighting Measures =====================
Extinguishing Media:APPROPRIATE TO SURROUNDING FIRE CONDITIONS.
Fire Fighting Procedures:USE NIOSH/MSHA APPROVED SCBA & 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 FLAMMABLE (SUPDAT)
Spill Release Procedures:VENTILATE 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 RESIST GL ASSES, GLOVES & CLTHG. WEAR
NIOSH/MSHA APRVD RESP.
Neutralizing Agent:SODA ASH, LIMESTONE, ETC.
====================== Handling and Storage ======================
Handling and Storage Precautions:CONC NITRIC ACID WILL ATTACK SOME
FORMS OF PLASTICS, RUBBER & COATINGS. STORE AT ROOM TEMPERATURE.
KEEP TIGHTLY SEALED WHEN NOT IN USE.
Other Precautions:AVOID INHALATION, INGESTION & CONTACT W/EYES & SKIN.
IRRITANT, OXIDIZER & CORROSIVE.
Spec Gravity:1
Solubility in Water:SOLUBLE
Appearance and Odor:TRANSPARENT W/ACRID ODOR.
================= Stability and Reactivity Data =================
Stability Indicator/Materials to Avoid:YES
CONC HNO*3 IS POWERFUL OXIDIZING AGENT. IT REACTS EXPLOSIVELY W/COMBUST
ORGANIC/READILY OXIDIZABLE MATLS SUCH (SUPDAT)
Stability Condition to Avoid:STABLE UNDER NORMAL STORAGE & USE.
ELEVATED TEMPS MAY CAUSE CNTNRS TO BURST & LIBERATE TOXIC OXIDES OF
NITROGEN.
