Section 3. Hazards Identification
Potential Acute Health Effects Very hazardous in case of skin contact (irritant), of eye contact (irritant), of ingestion. Slightly hazardous in case
of skin contact (corrosive, permeator), of eye contact (corrosive). Liquid or spray mist may produce tissue
damage particularly on mucous membranes of eyes, mouth and respiratory tract. Skin contact may produce
burns. Inhalation of the spray mist may produce severe irritation of respiratory tract, characterized by coughing,
choking, or shortness of breath. Severe over-exposure can result in death. Inflammation of the eye is
characterized by redness, watering, and itching. Skin inflammation is characterized by itching, scaling, reddening,
or, occasionally, blistering.
CARCINOGENIC EFFECTS: Classified 1 (Proven for human.) by IARC, + (Proven.) by OSHA [Sulfuric acid].
Potential Chronic Health
Classified A2 (Suspected for human.) by ACGIH [Sulfuric acid].
Effects
MUTAGENIC EFFECTS: Not available.
TERATOGENIC EFFECTS: Not available.
DEVELOPMENTAL TOXICITY: Not available.
The substance may be toxic to lungs, mucous membranes, upper respiratory tract, skin, eyes, teeth.
Repeated or prolonged exposure to the substance can produce target organs damage. Repeated or prolonged
contact with spray mist may produce chronic eye irritation and severe skin irritation. Repeated or prolonged
exposure to spray mist may produce respiratory tract irritation leading to frequent attacks of bronchial infection.
Repeated exposure to a highly toxic material may produce general deterioration of health by an accumulation in
one or many human organs.
Section 4. First Aid Measures
Eye Contact Check for and remove any contact lenses. In case of contact, immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at
least 15 minutes. Cold water may be used. Get medical attention immediately.
Skin Contact In case of contact, immediately flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated
clothing and shoes. Cover the irritated skin with an emollient. Cold water may be used.Wash clothing before
reuse. Thoroughly clean shoes before reuse. Get medical attention immediately.
Serious Skin Contact Wash with a disinfectant soap and cover the contaminated skin with an anti-bacterial cream. Seek immediate
medical attention.
Inhalation If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get
medical attention immediately.
Serious Inhalation Evacuate the victim to a safe area as soon as possible. Loosen tight clothing such as a collar, tie, belt or
waistband. If breathing is difficult, administer oxygen. If the victim is not breathing, perform mouth-to-mouth
resuscitation. WARNING: It may be hazardous to the person providing aid to give mouth-to-mouth resuscitation
when the inhaled material is toxic, infectious or corrosive. Seek immediate medical attention.
Ingestion Do NOT induce vomiting unless directed to do so by medical personnel. Never give anything by mouth to an
unconscious person. Loosen tight clothing such as a collar, tie, belt or waistband. Get medical attention if
symptoms appear.
Serious Ingestion Not available.

Section 6. Accidental Release Measures
Small Spill Dilute with water and mop up, or absorb with an inert dry material and place in an appropriate waste disposal
container. If necessary: Neutralize the residue with a dilute solution of sodium carbonate.
Large Spill Corrosive liquid. Poisonous liquid.
Stop leak if without risk. Absorb with DRY earth, sand or other non-combustible material. Do not get water inside
container. Do not touch spilled material. Use water spray curtain to divert vapor drift. Use water spray to reduce
vapors. Prevent entry into sewers, basements or confined areas; dike if needed. Call for assistance on disposal.
Neutralize the residue with a dilute solution of sodium carbonate. Be careful that the product is not present at
a concentration level above TLV. Check TLV on the MSDS and with local authorities.
Section 7. Handling and Storage
Keep container dry. Do not ingest. Do not breathe gas/fumes/ vapor/spray. Never add water to this product. If
Precautions
ingested, seek medical advice immediately and show the container or the label. Avoid contact with skin and eyes.
May corrode metallic surfaces. Store in a metallic or coated fiberboard drum using a strong polyethylene inner
package.
Keep container tightly closed. Keep container in a cool, well-ventilated area.
Storage
Section 8. Exposure Controls/Personal Protection
Engineering Controls Provide exhaust ventilation or other engineering controls to keep the airborne concentrations of vapors below their
respective threshold limit value. Ensure that eyewash stations and safety showers are proximal to the
work-station location.
Personal Protection Face shield. Full suit. Vapor respirator. Be sure to use an approved/certified respirator or equivalent. Gloves.
Boots.
Respiratory protection is not necessary for normal handling of small amounts. Adequate general (room)
ventilation or local exhaust (fume hood) is sufficient. Use a vapor respirator under conditions where exposure to
the substance is apparent (e.g. generation of high concentrations of mist or vapor, inadequate ventilation,
development of respiratory tract irritation), and engineering controls are not feasible. Be sure to use an
approved/certified respirator or equivalent.
Personal Protection in Case of Splash goggles. Full suit. Vapor respirator. Boots. Gloves. A self contained breathing apparatus should be
a Large Spill used to avoid inhalation of the product. Suggested protective clothing might not be sufficient; consult a specialist
BEFORE handling this product.
