=====================  Hazards Identification  =====================

LD50 LC50 Mixture:ORAL RAT LD50 IS 3110 MG/KG
Routes of Entry: Inhalation:YES  Skin:YES  Ingestion:YES
Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:NO    IARC:NO	OSHA:NO
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:PRODUCT AND VAPORS ARE IRRITATING TO
    CORROSIVE TO BODY TISSUES.	TOXICITY IS BY CORROSIVITY. MAY CAUSES
    BURNS IN CONCENTRATED FORM. VAPOR IS PERCEPTIBLE AT 1 PPM AND
    BECOMES INTOLERABLE AT ABOUT 200 P PM. NOTE:IN DILUTE FORM, ACETIC
    ACID ISUSED AS A CONDIMENT (VINEGAR).
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:THIS PRODUCT IS NOT LISTED BY IARC, NTP,
    OR OSHA AS A CARCINOGEN.
Effects of Overexposure:EYE(LIQUID OR VAPOR):IRRITATION,BURNS. 
    SKIN:IRRITATION,POSSIBLE BURNS. INHALED:INTENSE RESPIRATORY
    IRRITATION,COUGHING,CHRONIC INHALATION MAY CAUSE ULCERATION.
    INGESTED:G/I ITTITATION, BURNS.

Autoignition Temp:Autoignition Temp Text:800F
Lower Limits:4
Upper Limits:16
Extinguishing Media:USE WATER FOG, CARBON DIOXIDE, FOAM, OR DRY
    CHEMICAL.  WATER MAY BE USED TO DILUTE ACID TO NON-FLAMMABILITY.
Fire Fighting Procedures:FIRE FIGHTERS SHOULD USE NIOSH APPROVED SCBA &
    FULL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT WHEN FIGHTING CHEMICAL FIRE. USE WATER
    SPRAY TO COOL NEARBY CONTAINERS EXPOSED TO FIRE.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:FIRE OR EXCESSIVE HEAT MAY CAUSE
    PRODUCTION OF HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS.  WATER RUNOFF MAY
    BE CONCENTRATED ENOUGH TO BE CORROSIVE.

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

    NIOSH/MSHA APPROVED AIR SUPPLIED RESPIRATOR FOR OTHER THAN SHORT
    TIME EXPOSURES ABOVE THE TLV/PEL. USE RESPIRATOR EQUIPPED WITH
    CARTRIDGES FOR ACID/ORGA NIC VAPORS FOR SHORT TERM EXPOSURE.
Ventilation:NORMAL ROOM VENTILATION SUPPLEMENTED BY LOCAL EXHAUST
    SUFFICIENT TO MAINTAIN EXPOSURE BELOW PEL/TLV.
Protective Gloves:RUBBER GLOVES OR OTHER IMPERVIOUS
Eye Protection:SAFETY GLASSES OR VAPOR GOGGLES
