===================== 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:ACUTE: 3RD DEGREE BURNS. SEVERE
RESPIRATORY, SKIN AND EYE IRRITANT. CHRONIC: BRONCHITIS. LARYNGEAL
AND PULMONARY EDEMA MAY RESULT. ANIMAL TESTING INDICATES THAT THIS
COMPOUND DOES NOT HAVE CARCINOGENI C; MUTAGENIC, EMBRYOTOXIC, OR
REPRODUCTIVE EFFECTS. THE INTERNATIONAL AGENCY FOR RESEARCH ON
CANCER (IARC) CLASSIFIES " OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURES TO STRONG
INORGANIC ACID MISTS CONTAINING SULFURIC ACID" AS A CATEGORY 1
CARCINOGEN, A SUBSTANCE THAT IS "CARCINOGENIC TO HUMANS". THE BASIS
FOR IARC CLASSIFICATION RESTS ON SEVERAL EPIDEMIOLOGY STUDIES WHICH
DID NOT ACCOUNT FOR EXPOSURE TO OTHER SUBSTANCES , (EFTS OF
OVEREXP)
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:SULFURIC ACID: IARC MONOGRAPHS ON THE
EVALUATION OF CARCINOGENIC RISK OF CHEMICALS TO MAN, VOLUME 54,
PAGE 41, 1992: GROUP 1.
Effects of Overexposure:HLTH HAZ: SOME KNOWN TO BE ANIMAL OR POTENTIAL
HUMAN CARCINOGENS, SOCIAL INFLUENCES (SMOKING OR ALCOHOL
CONSUMPTION), AND INCLUDED SMALL NUMBERS OF SUBJECTS. SIGNS AND
SYMPTOMS OF OVEREXPOSURE: IRRITA TION OF MUCOUS MEMBRANES.
COUGHING, SNEEZING, TIGHTNESS OF CHEST, DIFFICULTY IN BREATHING.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:PRE-EXISTING RESPIRATORY DISEASE.
======================= First Aid Measures =======================
First Aid:SPEED IN REMOVING ACID IS ESSENTIAL. TREAT MOST URGENT
SYMPTOMS FIRST: CESSATION OF BREATHING, EYE INJURY, SKIN CNTCT,
SHOCK. SEEK MED ASSISTANCE EVEN IF INJURY APPEARS SLIGHT. GIVE MD
DETAILED ACCOUN T OF INCIDENT. INHAL: REMOVE FROM EXPOS. GIVE
OXYGEN IF BRTHG IS DFCLT. BEGIN ARTF RESP/CPR, IF INDICATED. EYES:
FLUSH IMMED W/LRG AMTS OF H*2O FOR AT LEAST 15 MIN HOLD EYELIDS
OPEN DURING FLUSHING. S KIN: FLUSH AREA IMMED W/LRG AMTS OF H*2O.
REMOVE ALL CONTAMD CLTHG & SHOES (THIS CAN BE DONE WHILE UNDER
SHOWER). INGEST: IF CONSCIOUS, GIVE LRG AMTS OF MILK, MILK OF
MAGNESIA, TABLE OIL/FRESH EGGS. G IVE H*2O WHEN NOTHING ELSE
(SUPDAT)
===================== Fire Fighting Measures =====================
Extinguishing Media:SMALL FIRES: DRY CHEMICAL, CO*2 OR HALON. LARGE
FIRES: WATER FOG.
Fire Fighting Procedures:USE NIOSH APPROVED SCBA & FULL PROTECTIVE
EQUIPMENT . DO NOT DIRECT WATER INTO ACID TANKS. COOL OUTSIDE OF
TANK WITH WATER.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:SULFURIC ACID WILL NOT BURN BUT CAN START
FIRE W/ORG MATL, NITRATES, CARBIDES, CHLORATES & METAL POWDERS,
HYDROGEN GAS CAN FORM WHEN ACID CONTACTS MOST METALS. HYDROGEN MAY
ACCUM IN CNTNRS, AVOID IGNI T, SOURCES. SPILL OVER INTO SEWERS MAY
GENERATE HYDROGEN GAS/ SULFIDES. ADDITION OF H*2O TO ACID CAUSES
(SUPDAT)
================== Accidental Release Measures ==================
Spill Release Procedures:WEAR FULL ACID-PROTECTIVE GEAR. REMOVE SOURCES
OF IGNITION. NEUTRALIZE WITH LIME IS OR SODA ASH. DIKE LARGE
SPILLS. NOTIFY AUTHORITIES, IF REQUIRED, IN ACCORDANCE WITH
FEDERAL, STATE AND LOCAL REGULAT IONS.
Neutralizing Agent:NEUTRALIZE WIHT LIME OR SODA ASH.
====================== Handling and Storage ======================
Handling and Storage Precautions:DO NOT STORE NEAR ORGANIC OR OTHER
INCOMPATIBLE MATERIALS. HYDROGEN MAY BE GENERATED INSIDE TANKS.
AVOID IGNITION SOURCES AND HIGH HEAT.
Other Precautions:NEVER ADD WATER TO CONTAINERS OF ACID. BEWARE OF ACID
REACTION IN SEWERS THAT MAY PRODUCE FLAMMABLE HYDROGEN GAS OR
HYDROGAN SULFIDE.
============= Exposure Controls/Personal Protection =============
Respiratory Protection:USE AS NECESSARY TO CONTROL EXPOSURE BELOW
APPLICABLE EXPOSURE LIMITS. FOR CONC UP TO 10 TIMES TLV, USE NIOSH
APPROVED HALF OR FULL AIR-PURIFYING RESP W/ACID GAS CARTRIDGES. FOR
HIGHER CONCENTRATIONS, CONSULT A PROFESSIONAL INDUSTRIAL
HYGIENIST. USE ALL RESPIRATORY PROTECTION IN ACCORDANCE WITH GOOD
INDUSTRIAL HYGIENE PRACTICE (I.E 29 CFR 1910.134).
Ventilation:LOCAL EHXAUST: AN APPROPRIATE FOR POINT SOURCES. MECHANICAL
(GENERAL): VENTILATE STORAGE TANKS BEORE ENTRY.
Protective Gloves:IMPERMEABLE ACID RESISTANT GLOVES.
Eye Protection:ANSI APPROVED CHEMICAL WORKERS GOGGLES AND FULL LENGTH
FACESHIELD .
Other Protective Equipment:EYE WASH AND DELUGE SHOWER MEETING ANSI
DESIGN CRITERIA . IMPERMEABLE ACID RESISTANT SAFETY SHOES/BOOTS,
RUBBER APRON OR FULL SUIT IF SPLASHES LIKELY.
Work Hygienic Practices:PROVIDE SAFETY SHOWERS & EYE WASH STATION NEAR
WORK SITE. TRAIN EMPLOYEES IN SAFE CHEM HANDLING & GOOD HYGIENE
PROCEDURES. EVALUATE WORKER EXPOS TO HAZ MATL & MIN EXPOS THROUGH
IMPLEMENTATION OF(SUPDAT)
