===================== Hazards Identification =====================
Routes of Entry: Inhalation:YES Skin:NO Ingestion:YES
Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:NO IARC:YES OSHA:NO
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:EYES: SEVERE BURNS,
CORNEAL/IRREVERSIBLE DAMAGE. SKIN: SEVERE BURNS/IRRITATING/DAMAGE.
INHALATION: SEVERE IRRITATION/BURNS OF THE NOSE, THROAT/RESPIRATORY
TRACT. INGESTION: HARMFUL/FATAL. SEVERE IRRIT ATION/BURNS OF THE
MOUTH, THROAT & DIGESTIVE TRACT.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:SULFUR DIOXIDE: A4 GROUP; SULFURIC ACID:
A2 FOR MIST.
Effects of Overexposure:IRRITATION, BURNS, STINGING, TEARING, REDNESS,
SWELLING. NOTE TO PHYSICIAN: INGESTION- LONG TERM COMPLICATIONS MAY
INCLUDE ESOPHAGEAL, GASTRIC/PYLORIC STRICTURES & STENOSIS. CASE
STUDIES SUGGEST THAT ACID INGESTION MAY INCREASE THE RISK
OFSTOMACH CANCER.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:PRE-EXISTING SKIN & LUNG DISORDERS.
======================= First Aid Measures =======================
Eyes: MOVE TO FRESH AIR. FLUSH W/CLEAN WATER FOR 30 MINS.
SKIN: FLUSH W/LARGE AMOUNTS OF WATER. IF DAMAGED, APPLY A CLEAN
DRESSING. IF NOT DAMAGED, WASH W/MILD SOAP/WATER. INHALATION: MOVE
TO FRESH AI R. APPLY CPR/OXYGEN IF NECESSARY. INGESTION: DON'T
INDUCE VOMITING. IF CONSCIOUS RINSE MOUTH W/WATER & DILUTE W/GLASS
OF MILK/WATER. DON'T LEAVE UNATTENDED. OBTAIN MEDICAL ATTENTION IN
ALL CASES.
===================== Fire Fighting Measures =====================
Flash Point:NONE TO BOILING
Extinguishing Media:DRY CHEMICAL/CO2. AVOID DIRECT USE OF WATER.
Fire Fighting Procedures:WEAR PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT W/RESPIRATOR. STOP
RELEASE/MOVE UNDAMAGED CONTAINERS SAFELY. USE WATER SPRAY TO COOL
EQUIPMENT/MINIMIZE VAPORS. SMALL COMBUSTIBLES MAY BE SMOTHERED
W/SUITABLE DRY CHEMICALS. AVOID USING WATER DIRECTLY ON ACID ASIT
EVLOVES HEAT AND CAUSES SPLATTERING.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:MATERIAL MAY IGNITE COMBUSTIBLES &
ATTACKS COMMON METALS. CLOSED CONTAINERS EXPOSED TO EXTREME HEAT
MAY RUPTURE. VAPORS ARE > AIR & ACCUMULATE IN LOW AREAS.
================== Accidental Release Measures ==================
Spill Release Procedures:STAY UPWIND/AWAY. ISOLATE AREA. STOP RELEASE
W/O RISK. KEEP COMBUSTIBLES AWAY. WEAR PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT.
PREVENT FROM ENTERING WATERWAYS/DRAINAGE SYSTEMS. DIKE. ABSORB
W/INERT NON-COMBUSTIBLE MATERIA L/PLACE IN SEALED CONTAINERS.
NEUTRALIZE RESIDUE WITH DILUTE SOLUTION OF LIME OR SODIUM
CARBONATE.
Neutralizing Agent:SOLUTION OF LIME OR SODIUM CARBONATE.
====================== Handling and Storage ======================
Handling and Storage Precautions:USE/STORE IN COOL, DRY, WELL
VENTILATED AREA AWAY FROM ORGANICS. KEEP CONTAINERS CLOSED. STORE
ONLY IN APPROVED CONTAINERS. PROTECT CONTAINERS FROM PHYSICAL
DAMAGE.
Other Precautions:DON'T GET IN EYES/SKIN/CLOTHING. DON'T BREATHE
VAPOR/MIST. DON'T TASTE/SWALLOW. THIS PRODUCT HAS A GREAT AFFINITY
FOR WATER. ABSTRACTING IT FROM THE AIR/ORGANIC SUBSTANCES, WILL
CHAR WOOD.
============= Exposure Controls/Personal Protection =============
Respiratory Protection:USE RESPIRATORY PROTECTION WHEN CONCENTRATIONS
EXCEED THE EXPOSURE LIMITS. DEPENDING ON THE AIRBORNE
CONCENTRATION, USE A POWERED AIR PURIFYING RESPIRATOR WITH HEPA
FILTER OR A SUPPLIED AIR RESPIRATOR . NIOSH APPROVED IF AVAILABLE.
DO NOT USE A CHEMICAL CARTRIDGE RESPIRATOR.
Ventilation:IF CURRENT PRACTICES ARE NOT ADEQUATE TO MAINTAIN
CONCENTRATIONS < EXPOSURE LIMITS, ADDITIONAL EXHAUST IS REQUIRED.
Protective Gloves:IMPERMEABLE
Eye Protection:FACE SHIELD/CHEMICAL GOGGLES.
Other Protective Equipment:IMPERVIOUS CLOTHING, EYE WASH & QUICK DRENCH
SHOWER.
Work Hygienic Practices:REMOVE/LAUNDER CONTAMINATED CLOTHING BEFORE
REUSE. WASH THOROUGHLY AFTER HANDLING. USE GOOD PERSONAL HYGIENE
PRACTICE.
Supplemental Safety and Health
