Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:TARGET ORGANS: EYES, SKIN, RESPIRATORY
AND GASTROINTESTINAL TRACTS. ACUTE - POISON! DANGER! STRONG
OXIDIZER, CORROSIVE!. INHALATION OF VAPORS CAN RESULT IN BREATHING
DIFFICULTIES AND LEAD TO PNEUMONI A AND PULMONARY EDEMA, WHICH MAY
BE FATAL. VAPORS ARE IRRITATING AND MAY CAUSE DAMAGE TO EYES. MAY
CAUSE SEVERE BURNS AND PERMANENT EYE DAMAGE. CAN CAUSE SEVERE SKIN
BURNS, DEEP ULCERS AND STAIN SKIN A YELLOW OR YELLOW-BROWN COLOR.
SWALLOWING NITRIC ACID CAN CAUSE IMMEDIATE PAIN AND BURNS OF THE
MOUTH, THROAT, ESOPHAGUS AND GASTROINTESTINAL TRACT. CHRONIC -
VAPORS MAY CAUSE EROSION OF TEETH AND L UNG DAMAGE.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:NONE
Effects of Overexposure:SEVERE IRRITATION, SEVERE BURNS; COUGH, NAUSEA,
NASAL DISCHARGE, RESPIRATORY FAILURE, REDNESS OF EYES, BLURRED
VISION, BURNING SENSATION IN MOUTH AND PHARYNX, SALIVATION,
ABDOMINAL PAIN, VOMITING BLOO D, DIARRHEA, HEMATURIA, DIFFICULTY
BREATHING, SHOCK, RAPID PULSE, DEATH, BLINDNESS, EROSION OF TEETH,
DEEP SKIN ULCERS, YELLOW SKIN STAIN, PAIN
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:PERSONS WITH PRE-EXISTING SKIN
DISORDERS, EYE PROBLEMS OR IMPAIRED CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASES MAY BE
MORE SUSCEPTIBLE TO THE EFFECTS OF THIS PRODUCT.
======================= First Aid Measures =======================
First Aid:OBTAIN MEDICAL ATTENTION IMMEDIATELY. INHALED: REMOVE FROM
EXPOSURE TO FRESH AIR IMMEDIATELY. IF NOT BREATHING, GIVE
ARTIFICIAL RESPIRATION. IF BREATHING IS DIFFICULT, GIVE OXYGEN.
EYES: IMMEDIATELY FLUSH EYE WITH PLENTY OF WATER FOR AT LEAST 15
MINUTES. OCCASIONALLY LIFTING THE UPPER AND LOWER LIDS. DO NOT
ALLOW VICTIM TO RUB OR KEEP EYES CLOSED. SKIN: FLUSH WITH LARGE
AMOUNT OF RUNNING WATER F OR AT LEAST 15 MINUTES. INGESTION: DO NOT
INDUCE VOMITING. IF VICTIM IS CONSCIOUS AND ALERT, WASH OUT MOUTH
WITH RUNNING WATER. GIVE LARGE QUANTITIES OF MILK OR WATER TO
DRINK.
===================== Fire Fighting Measures =====================
Flash Point:NONE
Extinguishing Media:WATER SPRAY MAY BE USED TO KEEP FIRE EXPOSED
CONTAINERS COOL. DO NOT GET WATER INSIDE CONTAINER.
Fire Fighting Procedures:INCREASES THE FLAMMABILITY OF COMBUSTIBLE,
ORGANIC MATERIALS. IN THE EVENT OF A FIRE, WEAR FULL PROTECTIVE
CLOTHING AND NIOSH-APPROVED SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARZATUS
WITH FULL-FACEPIECE OPERATED IN POSITIVE-PRESSURE MODE.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:REACTS EXPLOSIVELY WITH COMBUSTIBLE
ORGANIC OR READILY OZIDIZABLE MATERIALS SUCH AS: ALCOHOLS,
TURPENTINE, CHARCOAL, ORGANIC REFUSE, METAL POWDER,HYDROGEN
SULFIDE, ETC. REACTS WITH MOST METALS TO RELE ASE HYDOGEN GAS WHICH
CAN FORM EXPLOSIVE MIXTURES WITH AIR.
================== Accidental Release Measures ==================
Spill Release Procedures:OXIDIZING ACID. STOP LEAK IF POSSIBLE. AVOID
CONTACT WITH A COMBUSTIBLE MATERIAL (WOOD, PAPER, CLOTHING). WEAR
APPROPRIATE PERSONAL EQUIPMENT. ISOLATE HAZARD AREA. KEEP
UNPROTECTED PERSONNEL AWAY. DO NOT TOUCH SPILLED MATERIAL. CONTAIN
& RECOVER LIQUID WHEN POSSIBLE. NEUTRALIZE WITH ALKALINE MATERIAL.
ABSORB WITH AN INERT MATERIAL AND PLACE IN A CHEMICAL WASTE
CONTAINER. PREVENT ENTRY INTO SEWERS.
Neutralizing Agent:LIME, SODA ASH, SODIUM BICARBONATE, SODIUM CARBONATE
====================== Handling and Storage ======================
Handling and Storage Precautions:STORE IN A COOL, DRY, VENTILATED
STORAGE AREA WITH ACID RESISTANT FLOORS AND GOOD DEAINAGE. PROTECT
FROM PHYSICAL DAMAGE. KEEP AWAY FROM HEAT, WATER, DIRECT SUNLIGHT,
AND INCOMPATIBLE MATERIALS. WHEN DILUTING, THE ACID SHOULD BE
ALWAYS BE ADDEDE SLOWLY TO WATER AND IN SMALL AMOUNTS.
Other Precautions:DO NOT WASH OUT CONTAINER AND USE IT FOR OTHER
PURPOSES. CORROSIVE!. EMPTY CONTAINERS RETAIN PRODUCT RESIDUES
(VAPORS, LIQUID) AND CAN BE HAZARDOUS; OBSERVE ALL WARNINGS AND
PRECAUTIONS LISTED ON THE LABEL. KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.
AVOID BREATHING VAPOR. DO NOT GET IN EYE, ON SKIN OR ON CLOTHI NG.
AVOID INGESTION.
============= Exposure Controls/Personal Protection =============
Respiratory Protection:IF TLV IS EXCEEDED OR FOR SYMPTOMS OF OVER
EXPOSURE, WEAR A NIOSH-APPROVED SUPPLIED AIR, FULL-FACEPIECE
RESPIRATOR, AIRLINED HOOD, OR FULL-FACEPIECE, POSITIVE-PRESSURE
SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARAT US.
Ventilation:GENERAL MECHANICAL VENTILATION IS ADEQUATE FOR NORMAL USE.
LOCAL EXHAUST IS PREFERRED.
Protective Gloves:NEOPRENE OR RUBBER
