Personnel Protective Equipment: goggles, face shield, apron, respirator and proper gloves.
Inhalation:
Mist or vapor inhalation can cause irritation to the nose, throat, and upper respiratory tract. Severe exposures can lead
to a chemical pneumonitis.
Ingestion:
Corrosive. May cause sore throat, abdominal pain, nausea, and severe burns of the mouth, throat, and stomach. Severe
exposures can lead to shock, circulatory collapse, and death.

Eye Contact:
Corrosive. May cause redness, pain, blurred vision, eye burns, and permanent eye damage.
Chronic Exposure:
Repeated contact may cause corneal damage. Repeated skin or eye contact can cause skin and eye effects.
Aggravation of Pre-existing Conditions:
Persons with pre-existing skin disorders or impaired respiratory function may be more susceptible to the effects of the
substance.
Section 4 First Aid Measures
Eyes:
Immediately flush eyes with large amounts of water for at least 15 minutes holding lids apart to ensure flushing of the
entire surface.
Skin:
Immediately wash contaminated areas with water. Remove contaminated clothing and footwear. Wash clothing and
decontaminate footwear before reuse.
Inhalation:
Remove person from contaminated area to fresh air.
Ingestion:
Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious or convulsing person. If person is conscious, give large quantities
of water or milk. Seek medical attention immediately.
Section 5 Fire Fighting Measures
NFPA* Hazard Ratings:
Health: 3= Materials which upon short-term exposure could cause serious temporary or residual injury
even though prompt medical treatment is given, including those requiring protection from all bodily contact. This
degree should include materials giving off highly toxic combustion products; or materials corrosive to living tissue or
toxic by skin absorption.
Flammability: 0= Materials that will not burn.
Reactivity: 0= Materials which in themselves are normally stable, even under fire exposure conditions,
and
which are not reactive with water.
Special Hazard: None
*National Fire Protection Association 704
First Responders:
Wear protective gloves, boots, goggles, and respirator. In case of fire, wear positive pressure breathing apparatus.
Approach incident with caution.
Flash Point: None
Flammable or Explosive Limits: Lower: Nonflammable Upper: Nonflammable
Extinguishing Media: Use large quantities of water. Dike to contain.
Section 6 Accidental Release Measures
Steps To Be Taken If Material Is Released Or Spilled:
Avoid runoff into storm sewers and ditches that lead to waterways. Clean up spills immediately. Contain spill by
collecting the liquid in a pit or holding behind a dam (sand or soil). Absorb with inert media and dispose of properly.
Disposal of all materials shall be in full and strict compliance with all federal, state, and local regulations pertaining to
phosphates. Flush area with large amounts of water
Personnel Precautions:

Personnel should wear protective clothing suitable for the task.
Section 7 Handling and Storage
Work/Hygiene Practices:
Do not breathe vapor or mist. Do not get in eyes, on skin, or on clothing. Wash hands thoroughly with soap and water
after handling solution, and before eating or smoking. Wear proper protective equipment. Remove clothing, if it
becomes contaminated.
Ventilation Requirements:
Provide sufficient mechanical and/or local exhaust.
Conditions For Safe Storage:
Do not store in metal containers. Store in a tightly closed container. Protect containers from physical damage. Store
in a cool, dry area in closed containers. Segregate from strong caustics and most metals. Reacts with most metals to
form flammable hydrogen gas. Do not mix with solutions containing bleach or ammonia.
Section 8 Exposure Controls and Personal Protection
Respiratory Protection:
In cases where overexposure to mist may occur, use any air purifying, and full face piece respirator with an N-100,
R100 or P100 filter. Engineering or administrative controls should be implemented to control mist.
Eye:
Faceshield, goggles, or safety glasses with side shields should be worn. Provide eyewash in work area.
Gloves:
Rubber or plastic gloves should be worn.
Other Protective Equipment:
Normal work clothing covering arms and legs, and rubber, or plastic apron should be worn. Caution: If clothing
becomes contaminated, wash off immediately.

Section 10 Stability and Reactivity
Stability: Under normal conditions, the material is stable.
Conditions To Avoid: Do not expose to extreme temperatures.
Incompatible Materials: Strong caustics, most metals, solutions containing bleach and or
ammonia. Soluble calcium salt solutions and hydrofluoric or
hydrofluosilicic acid could cause precipitations.
Hazardous Decomposition: When involved in a fire, the material may form toxic fumes of
carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, phosphorous oxides and
phosphines.

Section 11 Toxicological Information
Acute Toxicity:
Corrosive to eyes (rabbit). Practically non-irritating to skin (rabbit).
CAS# 2809-21-4: Oral, rat: LD50 = 2400 mg/Kg
Carcinogenicity:
ACGIH, OSHA, NTP, IARC or CA Prop 65 has classified none of the components as a carcinogen.
Medical Conditions Generally Aggravated by Exposure:
Phosphonic acid solution will cause further irritation of tissue, open wounds, burns or mucous membranes.
Section 12 Ecological Information
Environmental Fate:
When released into the soil, this material may leach into groundwater. When released to water, natural water
hardness minerals may readily reduce acidity. The phosphate, however, may persist indefinitely. During transport
through the soil, phosphonic acid will dissolve some of the soil material, in particular, carbonate-based materials.
The acid will be neutralized to some degree. However, significant amounts of acid will remain for transport down
toward the groundwater table.
Environmental Toxicity:
CAS# 2809-21-4: Fish: Rainbow trout : LC50 = 368 mg/L, 96 Hr
Bluegill sunfish: LC LC50 = 868 mg/L, 96 Hr
Other:
Dangerous to aquatic life in high concentrations.
Section 13 Disposal Considerations
Waste Disposal:
Disposal of all materials shall be in full and strict compliance with all federal, state, and local regulations pertaining to
phosphates. Chemical waste generators must determine whether a discarded chemical is classified as a hazardous
waste. US EPA guidelines for the classification determination are listed in 40 CFR Parts 261.3. When discarded, this
material is a hazardous waste (D002, Compound/characteristic: Corrosivity) as that term is defined by the Resource,
Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), 40 CFR 261.
RCRA P-Series: None listed.
RCRA U-Series: None listed.
