Effects of Overexposure:VAPOR CAUSES IRRITATION TO EYE, NOSE AND
    THROAT. LC50:LO(INHAL)-RAT 16000PPM/4HRS99%. REPEATED CONTACT WITH
    MATERIAL MAYBE SENSITIZING TO HYPER-SENSITIVE INDIVIDUALS. LIQUID
    CAUSES BURNS TO EYES AND S KIN. SWALLOWING CAUSES DANAGE TO MUCOUS
    MEMBRANES AND DEEP TISSUE. EXERCISE APPROPRIATE PROCEDURES TO
    MINIMIZE POTENTIAL HAZARDS.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:MAY BE AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE.

=======================  First Aid Measures  =======================

First Aid:EYE-FLUSH THOROUGHLY WITH TEPID WATER FOR AT LEAST 15 MINS,
    LIFTING LOWER & UPPER EYELIDS OCCASIONALLY. GET IMMEDIATE MEDICAL
    ATTENTION. INHALATION-REMOVE TO OUTSIDE AIR IF IRRITATION OCCURS.
    CONTACT  PHYSICIAN IF IRRITATION PERSISTS. SKIN-FLLUSH THOROUGHLY
    WITH WATER, THEN WASH WITH DILUTE SOLUTION OF SODIUM BICARBONATE.
    IF IRRITATION PERSISTS GET MEDICAL ATTENTION. INGESTION-WIPE MOUTH
    & RINSE AW AY ANY REMAINING CHEMICAL RESIDUE WITH COLD WATER. IF
    SWALLOWED, DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING, IF CONSCIOUS, GIVE LARGE AMOUNTS
    OF WATER, FOLLOWED BY MILK OR VEGETABLE OIL. NEVER GIVE ANYTHING BY
    MOUTH TO A N UNCONSCIOUS PERSON. GET MEDICAL AID.

=====================  Fire Fighting Measures  =====================

Extinguishing Media:CARBON DIOXIDE (CO2), DRY CHEMICAL (ABC), WATER
    SPRAY.
Fire Fighting Procedures:ACETIC ACID CONCENTRATIONS BELOW 50% ARE
    NON-FLAMMABLE. MATERIAL NOT SENSITIVE TO STATIC DISCHARGE. CAN
    REACT WITH METALS TO PRODUCE HYDROGEN GAS. A SELF-CONTAINED
    BREATHING APPARATUS SHOULD BE WORN T O PROTECT AGAINST VAPORS. WEAR
    PROTECTIVE CLOTHING TO PREVENT CONTACT WITH SKIN. AND EYES.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:SLIGHT FIRE HAZARD WHEN EXPOSED TO HEAT
    OR FLAMES, MAY REACT VIGOROUSLY WITH BASES AND STRONG OXIDIZING
    AGENTS.

==================  Accidental Release Measures  ==================

Spill Release Procedures:WEAR PPE, FACESHIELD, GOGGLES, NITRILE GLOVES,
    APRON. CAREFULLY COVER CONTAMINATED SURFACES WITH SODA ASH OR
    SODIUM BICARBONATE TO NEUTRALIZE ACID SOLUTION. MIX AND ADD WATER
    IF NECESSARY. SCOOP UP SL URRY AND WASH NEUTRAL WASTE TO SANITARY
    SEWER WITH EXCESS WATER. DISCHARGE MAY BE SUBJECT TO FEDERAL, STATE
    AND LOCAL LAWS.
Neutralizing Agent:SODA ASH OR SODIUM BICARBONATE TO NEUTRALIZE ACID
    SOLUTION.

======================	Handling and Storage  ======================

Handling and Storage Precautions:KEEP CONTAINER TIGHTLY CLOSED WHEN NOT
