Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:NO IARC:NO OSHA:NO
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:INHALATION: HARMFUL IF INHALED. CAN
CAUSE SEVERE IRRITATION AND BURNS OF NOSE, THROAT & RESPIRATORY
TRACT. INGESTION: TOXIC! MAY CAUSE BURNS, NAUSES, SEVERE
GASTROENTERITIS & VOMITING, SHOCK & CONVULS IONS. MAY CAUSE RENAL
DAMAGE, AS EVIDENCED BY BLOODY URINE. ESTIMATED FATAL DOSE IS 5 TO
15 GRAMS. SKIN: CAN CAUSE SEVERE IRRITATION, POSSIBLE SKIN BURNS.

IRRITANT. IT MAY PRODUCE CORROSIVE EFFECTS. CHRONIC: MAY CAUSE
INFLAMMATION OF THE UPPER RESPIRATORY TRACT. PROLONGED SKIN CONTACT
CAN CAUSE DERMATITIS, CYANOSIS OF THE FINGERS & POSS IBLE
ULCERATIN. MAY EFFECT KIDNEYS.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:NONE LISTED.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:PERSONS WITH PRE-EXISTING SKIN
DISORDERS OR EYEPROBLEMS, OR IMPAIRED KIDNEY OR RESPIRATORY
FUNCTION MAY BE MORE SUSCEPTIBLE TO THE EFFECTS OF THE SUBSTANCE.
======================= First Aid Measures =======================
First Aid:INHALATION: REMOVE TO FRESH AIR. IF NOT BREATHING, GIVE
ARTIFICIAL RESPIRATION. IF BREATHING IS DIFFICULT, GIVE OXYGEN.
INGESTION: DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. GIVE LARGE QUANTITIES OF
LIMEWATER OR MILK TO DRINK. NEVER GIVE ANYTHING BY MOUTH TO AN
UNCONSCIOUS PERSON. SKIN: IN CASE OF CONTACT, WIPE OFF EXCESS FROM

EYELIDS OCCASIONALLY. (SUPPL)
===================== Fire Fighting Measures =====================
Extinguishing Media:WATER SPRAY, DRY CHEMICAL, ALCOHOL FOAM, OR CARBON
DIOXIDE. FOAM OR WATER ON MOLTEN OXALIC ACID MAY CAUSE FROTHING.
WATER SPRAY MAY BE USED TO KEEP FIRE EXPOSED CONTAINERS COOL.
Fire Fighting Procedures:IN THE EVENT OF A FIRE, WEAR FULL PROTECTIVE
CLOTHING & NIOSH-APPROVED SELF CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS WITH
FULL FACEPIECE OPERATED IN THE PRESSURE DEMAND OR OTHER POSITIVE
PRESSURE MODE.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:REACTS EXPLOSIVELY WITH STRONG OXIDIZING
MATERIALS & SOME SILVER COMPOUNDS.
================== Accidental Release Measures ==================
Spill Release Procedures:REMOVE ALL SOURCES OF IGNITION. VENTILATE AREA
OF LEAK OR SPILL. WEAR APPROPRIATE PERSONAL PROTECTIVE CLOTHING.
CLEAN UP SPILLS IN A MANNER THAT DOES NOT DISPERSE DUST INTO THE
