SECTION 5 鈥? REACTIVITY INFORMATION
Stability Stable
Conditions to avoid Water. Extreme heat (sulphuric acid decomposes at 340掳C, to produce SO3 and water.
Incompatible Sulphuric acid is very reactive with many organic and inorganic chemicals. It reacts with metals
substances to produce (highly flammable) hydrogen gas (H2).
Water: violent reaction with evolution of heat and acid mist.
Hazardous decomposition Possibly SO2, SO3, and H 2.

SECTION 7 鈥? FIRST AID
Inhalation Move victim to fresh air Give artificial respiration if breathing has stopped and if a qualified AR administrator is
available. Apply CPR if both pulse and breathing have stopped. Obtain medical attention immediately.
Ingestion Never give anything by mouth if the person is unconscious, rapidly losing consciousness, or convulsing. If the
person is conscious, have them drink 8 to 10 ounces of water to dilute the material in the stomach. If milk is
available, give it after the water. Do not induce vomiting. If vomiting occurs spontaneously, have the person
lean forward to avoid aspiration, and repeat administration of water. Obtain medical attention immediately.
Eye Using gloved hands to hold the affected eye open, flush it with lukewarm, gently flowing fresh water for at least
20-30 minutes. DO NOT INTERRUPT FLUSHING. (Keep emergency vehicle waiting if necessary.) Take
precautions to avoid contaminating unaffected eye or face. If irritation persists, repeat flushing. Transport
victim to emergency medical care facility.
Skin Avoid direct contact. Flush affected area with lukewarm, gently flowing fresh water for at least 20-30 minutes.
DO NOT INTERRUPT FLUSHING. (Keep emergency vehicle waiting if necessary.) Take precautions to avoid
contaminating unaffected body areas. Remove contaminated clothing, boots, watchstraps, etc. under running
water, and discard. If irritation persists, repeat flushing. Transport victim to emergency medical care facility.

equipmen Eye Chemical safety goggles. A face shield may also be needed.
t Respirator NIOSH-approved. SCBA or air line respirator with escape cylinder for confined spaces or for high
y concentrations. A qualified occupational health and safety professional should advise on
respirator selection. If an air-purifying respirator is appropriate, use acid/gas cartridges.
Clothing
An acid-resistant apron, as a minimum, when handling product. Coveralls to prevent skin contact
& with product. If clothing or footwear becomes contaminated with product, completely
footwear
decontaminate it before re-use, or discard it.
Engineering Enclose processes. Use (corrosion-resistant) local exhaust ventilation to remove vapour or mist at its
controls site of generation. Handle laboratory samples in a fume hood.
Handling Avoid generating mists or vapours. Keep containers closed. Corrosion-resistant handling and transfer
procedures & equipment. Non-sparking tools, explosion-proof ventilation, and intrinsically safe electrical equipment
equipment are recommended. Ground handling equipment. Do not add water to this product; for dilution: gradually
add the product to (cold) water, with gentle stirring. Have clean emergency eyewash and shower readily
available in the work area.
Leak & spill Keep unauthorized persons away. Avoid contact with material. Ventilate area. Stop leak if it can be done
Procedure safely. Prevent entry into sewers, waterways, or confined spaces. Trained personnel may apply
neutralizing chemicals and dilute with plenty of water. Cover with dry earth, sand, clay, or other non-
reactive material and shovel into suitable covered containers.
Waste disposal Consult local authorities for advice.
Storage Ambient or cooler temperatures. Clean, dry, well-ventilated area. Tightly-closed containers in spill-
containment trays.
Shipping Use secondary protective containers. Stable during transport.
