SECTION 4 FIRST AID MEASURES
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
INHALATION: When safe to enter area, remove fr exposure. Use a bag valve
om
mask or similar device to perform artificial respiration (rescue breathing)
if needed. Keep warm and at rest. Get medical attention immediately.
SKIN CONTACT: Remove contaminated clothing, jewelry, and shoes immediately.
Wash with soap or mild detergent and large amounts of water until no
evidence of chemical remains (at least 15 20 minutes). For burns, cover
-
affected area securely with sterile, dry, loose fitting dressing. Get
-
medical attention immediately.
EYECONTACT: Wash eyes immediately with large amounts of water, occasionally
lifting upper and lower lids, until no evidence of chemical remains.
Continue irrigating with normal saline until ready to transport to hospital.
Cover with sterile bandages. Ge medical attention immediately.
t
INGESTION: Never make an unconscious person vomit or drink fluids. Give water
or milk. If vomiting occurs, keep head lower than hips to help prevent
aspiration. If person is unconscious, turn head to side. Get medical
attention immediately.
NOTE TO PHYSICIAN: For inhalation, consider oxygen. Avoid gastric lavage or

emesis.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SECTION 5 FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
---------------------- --------------------------------------------------------

explosive above flash point. The vapor is heavier than air. Vapors or gases
may ignite at distant ignition sources and lash back.
f
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: regular dry chemical, carbon dioxide, water, regular
foam, alcohol resistant foam
Large fires: Use regular foam or flood with fine water spray.
FIRE FIGHTING: Move container from fire area if it can be done without r
isk.
Do not get water inside container. Cool containers with water spray until
well after the fire is out. Stay away from the ends of tanks. Withdraw
immediately in case of rising sound from venting safety device or any
discoloration of tanks due to fire. For tank, rail car or tank truck,
evacuation radius: 800 meters (1/2 mile).

LOWER FLAMMABLE LIMIT: 4.0% @ 59 C
UPPER FLAMMABLE LIMIT: 16.0% @ 92 C
AUTOIGNITION: 867 F (464 C)
FLAMMABILITY CLASS (OSHA): II
---- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
SECTION 6 ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
AIR RELEASE:
Reduce vapors with water spray. Stay upwindnd keep out of low areas. Collect
a
runoff for disposal as potential hazardous waste.
SOIL RELEASE:
Trap spilled material at bottom in deep water pockets, excavated holding areas
or within sand bag barriers. Dike for later disposal. Absorb with sand or
other non- combustible material. Add an alkaline material (lime, crushed
limestone, sodium bicarbonate, or soda ash).
WATER RELEASE:
Add an alkaline material (lime, crushed limestone, sodium bicarbonate, or soda
ash).
OCCUPATIONAL RELEASE:
Avoid heat, flam sparks and other sources of ignition. Do not touch spilled
es,
material. Stop leak if possible without personal risk. Reduce vapors with
water spray. Do not get water inside container. Small spills: Absorb with sand
3/11
or other non- combustible material. Colle spilled material in appropriate
ct
container for disposal. Large spills: Dike for later disposal. Remove sources
of ignition. Keep unnecessary people away, isolate hazard area and deny entry.
Notify Local Emergency Planning Committee and State Emergency sponse Re
Commission for release greater than or equal to RQ (U.S. SARA Section 304). If
release occurs in the U.S. and is reportable under CERCLA Section 103, notify
the National Response Center at (800)424 8802 (USA) or (202)426
- - 2675 (USA).

HEALTH EFFECTS:
INHALATION:
ACUTE EXPOSURE:
ACETIC ACID: May cause severe irritation of the respiratory tract. 50 ppm
or more is intolerable to most persons and results in pharyngeal edema and
chronic bronchitis. Other symptoms may include coughing, dyspnea,
shortness of breath, laryngitis, pulmonary edema, bronchopneumonia and
hypotension.
CHRONIC EXPOSURE:
ACETIC ACID: Workers repeatedly exposed to concentrations up to 200 ppm
have been found to suffer from palpebral edema with hypertrophy of the
lymph nodes, chronic pharyngitis, chronic bronchitis and in some cases,
asthmatic bronchitis and traces of erosion of the teeth. Complaints of
digestive disorders with pyrosis and consipation have also been reported.

SKIN CONTACT:
ACUTE EXPOSURE:
ACETIC ACID: Direct contact may cause severe irritation with pain,
erythema, blisters, burns and superficial destruction of the skin with
slow healing. The skin may become blac kened, hyperkeratotic and fissured.
Readily absorbed through the skin.
CHRONIC EXPOSURE:
ACETIC ACID: Repeated and prolonged contact may cause darkening of the
skin, irritation and dermatitis.
EYE CONTACT:
ACUTE EXPOSURE:
ACETIC ACI Direct contact causes severe irritation, lacrimation, corneal
D:
erosion, opacification, iritis and possibly loss of sight in humans.
Regeneration of the epithelium may take many months, but corneal
anesthesia and opacity will usually be permannt. In less severe cases,
e
conjunctivitis, photophobia and hyperemia of the conjunctiva occurred. The
vapor and dilute solutions may cause conjunctival hyperemia and sometimes
injury to the corneal epithelium.
CHRONIC EXPOSURE:
ACETIC A CID: Depending on the concentration and duration of exposure,
effects similar to acute exposure may occur.
INGESTION:
ACUTE EXPOSURE:
ACETIC ACID: In cases of accidental ingestion, severe ulceronecrotic
lesions of the upper digestive tract, stricture of the esophagus, and
perforation of the esophagus and pylorus have been observed with
hematemesis, diarrhea, shock, hemoglobinuria followed by anuria and
uremia. Other symptoms may include vomiting, abdominal spasms, thirst,
difficulty in swallowing, hypothermia, rapid and weak pulse, slow and
shallow breathing, laryngitis, bronchitis, pulmonary edema, pneumonia,
hemolysis, albuminuria, hematuria, twitching, convulsions, cardiovascular
collapse, shock and death. Repro ductive effects have been reported in
animals.
CHRONIC EXPOSURE:
ACETIC ACID: Depending on the concentration and duration of exposure,
effects similar to acute exposure may occur.
