Section 3. Hazard Identification
Emergency Overview: Mildly corrosive. May cause irritation to areas of contact. Wash areas of
contact with water for at least 15 minutes. If ingested, do not induce vomiting. Dilute
with water and call a physician. May cause cancer. Potential symptoms of
overexposure are irritation of the eyes, mucous membranes and skin, dental erosion,
bronchitis, pneumonitis, delayed pulmonary edema.
Target Organs: Eyes, skin, respiratory system, immune system, nasal cavities, teeth, blood,
bones.
Skin/eye Contact: Liquid may cause burns to skin and eyes. Hydrogen fluoride will
penetrate the skin and attack the underlying tissue and bone.
Inhalation: May cause irritation. Inhalation of high concentrations of nickel may cause irritation
of mucous membranes causing sore throat, coughing, and shortness of breath.
Ingestion: May cause nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. Animal studies indicate that prolonged
ingestion of some soluble nickel compounds may affect the blood, bone marrow,
thymus, spleen, kidneys, and immune system.

Section 4. First Aid Measures
Inhalation: Remove to fresh air. Give artificial respiration if necessary. If breathing is difficult, give
oxygen.
Skin/eye Contact: Flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Remove contaminated
shoes and clothing. Rinse affected area with large amount of water followed by
washing the area with soap and water. Call a physician if irritation develops.
Ingestion: CALL A PHYSICIAN; If swallowed rinse mouth, do NOT induce vomiting, if
conscious give large quantities of water or milk.
Section 5. Fire Fighting Measures
Fire & Explosion hazards: While nitric acid is not combustible, it is a strong oxidizing agent that
can react with combustible materials. NOx compounds can be released in event of fire.
Hydrofluoric acid may ignite or explode on contact with combustible materials.
Extinguishing Media: Use any extinguishing media that is suitable for the surrounding area. Use a
water spray to dilute nitric acid and to absorb liberated nitrogen oxides.
Specific Methods: Firefighters should wear proper protective equipment and self-contained
breathing apparatus with full face piece operated in positive pressure mode.
Section 6. Accidental Release Measures
Ventilate area of leak or spill. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment as specified in
Section 8. Cover the spill with sodium bicarbonate or a soda ash-slaked lime mixture (50:50) to
neutralize the acid. Place the neutralized material into containers suitable for eventual disposal,
reclamation, or destruction. Always dispose of in accordance with local regulations.
Section 7. Handling and Storage
Store in a cool, dry, ventilated storage area with acid resistant floors and good drainage. Keep out
of direct sunlight and away from heat, water, and incompatible materials. When diluting, the acid
should always be added slowly to water and in small amounts. Refer to Section 8 for personal
handling instructions. Wash exposed skin area thoroughly after handling.
Section 8. Exposure Controls and Personal Protection
Engineering Controls: No specific controls are needed. Normal room ventilation is adequate.
Respiratory Protection: Normal room ventilation is adequate.
Personal Protection: Wear proper gloves, safety glasses with side shields, lab coat/apron.

Section 11. Toxicological Information
Toxicity Data:
May affect skin, mucous membranes and eyes. Swallowing may lead to a negative effect on
mouth and throat and to the risk of perforation or the corrosion of esophagus and stomach.
Beryllium is investigated as a tumorigen.
