4. FIRST AID MEASURES
Eye Hold eyelids apart and flush continuously with water. Continue until advised to stop by the Poisons Information
Centre, a doctor, or for at least 15 minutes. Keep patient calm.
Inhalation If over exposure occurs leave exposure area immediately. If irritation persists, seek medical attention.
Skin Remove contaminated clothing and gently flush affected areas with water. Seek medical attention if irritation
develops. Launder clothing before reuse.

5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Flammability Non flammable. May evolve toxic gases (phosphorus oxides) when heated to decomposition. Contact with most
metals may liberate flammable hydrogen gas.
Fire and Non flammable. Evacuate area and contact emergency services. Remain upwind and notify those downwind of
hazard. Wear full protective equipment including Self Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) when combating
Explosion
fire. Use waterfog to cool intact containers and nearby storage areas.
Extinguishing Non flammable. Prevent contamination of drains or waterways, absorb runoff with sand or similar.
Hazchem Code None
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Spillage If spilt (bulk), contact emergency services. Clear area of unprotected personnel. Ventilate area where possible.
Wear splash-proof goggles, PVC/rubber gloves, coveralls, a Type B (Inorganic and Acid gas) respirator (where an
inhalation risk exists). Cover with sodium bicarbonate or 50-50 mixture of sodium carbonate & calcium hydroxide.
Collect for complete neutralisation & appropriate disposal.
7. STORAGE AND HANDLING
Storage Store in cool, dry, well ventilated area, removed from alkalis, metals, nitromethane, sodium tetrahydroborate, heat
sources and foodstuffs. Ensure containers are adequately labelled, protected from physical damage and sealed
when not in use.
Handling Before use carefully read the product label. Use of safe work practices are recommended to avoid eye or skin
contact and inhalation. Observe good personal hygiene, including washing hands before eating. Prohibit eating,
drinking and smoking in contaminated areas (eg. if container is damaged).
8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION
Ventilation Do not inhale vapours. Use in well ventilated areas. In poorly ventilated areas, mechanical extraction ventilation is
recommended.Maintain vapour levels below the recommended exposure standard.
Exposure PHOSPHORIC ACID (7664-38-2)
ES-STEL : 3 mg/m3
Standards
ES-TWA: 1 mg/m3
WES-TWA: 1 mg/m3
PPE Wear splash-proof goggles, coveralls and rubber or PVC gloves. Where an inhalation risk exists, wear a Full-face
Type B (Inorganic and Acid gas) or an Air-line respirator. When using large quantities or where heavy
contamination is likely, wear a PVC apron and rubber boots.

11. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Health Hazard This product has the potential to cause acute and chronic health effects with over exposure. Use safe work
Summary practices to avoid eye or skin contact. Upon dilution, the potential for adverse health effects will be reduced.
Eye Exposure may result in lacrimation, pain, redness and possible corneal burns with prolonged contact.
Over exposure at high levels may result in mucous membrane irritation of the nose and throat with coughing. Due
Inhalation
to the low vapour pressure of this product an inhalation hazard is not anticipated.
Skin Prolonged contact may result in irritation, skin rash, dermatitis, ulceration and burns.
Ingestion may result in ulceration to the mouth and throat with nausea and vomiting.The manufacturer reports that
Ingestion
the oral LD50 is > 5000 mg/kg (based on similar products).

Toxicity Data
LD50 (Ingestion): 1530 mg/kg (rat)
LD50 (Skin): 2740 mg/kg (rabbit)
12. ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Environment Phosphoric acid is hazardous to aquatic life at high concentrations. While acidity may be reduced by natural water
minerals, the phosphate may persist indefinitely. When spilled onto soil, it will permeate downward, and may
dissolve some of the soil matter, especially carbonate-based materials. Some acid will be neutralised, however
significant amounts will remain for transport to groundwater.
13. DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS
Waste Disposal Wearing the protective equipment detailed above, neutralise to pH 6-8 by SLOW addition to a saturated sodium
bicarbonate solution or similar basic solution. Dilute with excess water and flush to drain. Waste disposal should
only be undertaken in a well ventilated area.
Legislation Dispose of in accordance with relevant local legislation.

AICS All chemicals listed on the Australian Inventory of Chemical Substances (AICS).
16. OTHER INFORMATION
Additional ACIDS: When mixing acids with water (diluting), caution must be taken as heat will be generated which causes
Information violent spattering. Always add a small volume of acid to a large volume of water, NEVER the reverse.

RESPIRATORS: In general the use of respirators should be limited and engineering controls employed to avoid
exposure. If respiratory equipment must be worn ensure correct respirator selection and training is undertaken.
Remember that some respirators may be extremely uncomfortable when used for long periods. The use of air
powered or air supplied respirators should be considered where prolonged or repeated use is necessary.
