FIRST AID MEASURES:
GENERAL ADVICE:
POISON INFORMATION CENTRES IN EACH STATE CAPITAL CITY CAN PROVIDE
ADDITIONAL ASSISTANCE FOR SCHEDULED POISONS (13 1126). ENSURE THAT MEDICAL
PERSONNEL ARE AWARE OF THE MATERIAL(S) INVOLVED AND TAKE PRECAUTIONS TO
PROTECT THEMSELVES. FIRST AIDER NEEDS TO PROTECT HIMSELF.
SKIN CONTACT:
WASH OFF IMMEDIATELY WITH SOAP AND PLENTY OF WATER. CONTINUE FLUSHING WITH
PLENTY OF WATER FOR AT LEAST 15 MINUTES. REMOVE ALL CONTAMINATED CLOTHES
AND SHOES. IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION IS REQUIRED. CALL A PHYSICIAN
IMMEDIATELY.
EYE CONTACT:
FLUSH EYE WITH WATER FOR 15 MINUTES. IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION IS

SYMPTOMS:
SKIN CONTACT: SEVERE SKIN IRRITATION. CAUSES SKIN BURNS.
EYE CONTACT: SEVERE EYE IRRITATION. CAUSES EYE BURNS.

FATAL IF INHALED. CAUSES SEVERE IRRITATION OF THE RESPIRATORY TRACT AND
MUCOUS MEMBRANES WITH SORE THROAT, COUGHING, SNEEZING, SHORTNESS OF BREATH,
AND DELAYED LUNG EDEMA. CAN CAUSE CHEMICAL BURNS (CORROSIVE ACTION) TO THE
REPIRATORY TRACT AND MUCOUS MEMBRANES. INHALATION MAY BE FATAL AS A RESULT
OF BRONCHOSPASM, INFLAMMATION, EDEMA OF THE LARYNX AND BRONCHI, CHEMICAL
PNEUMONITIS, AND PULMONARY EDEMA. MAY AFFECT CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM
(HYPOTENSION, DEPRESSED CARDIAC OUTPUT, BRADYCARDIA). CIRCULATORY
SHOCK/COLLAPSE WITH CLAMMY SKIN, WEAK AND RAPID PULSE, SHALLOW RESPIRATION,
AND SCANTY URINE MAY FOLLOW. ISCHEMIC LIVER AND HEART LESIONS, KIDNEY
FAILURE MAY OCCUR SEVERAL HOURS AFTER UNCHECKED CIRCULATORY COLLAPSE.

TEETH(CHANGES IN TEETH AND SUPPORTING STRUCTURES - EROSION, DISCOLORATION).
INGESTION:
MAY BE HARMFUL IF SWALLOWED. CAUSES DIGESTIVE OR GASTROINTESTINAL TRACT
BURNS. CORROSIVE TO THE MOUTH, THROAT, AND STOMACH. MAY CAUSE PERMANENT
DAMAGE TO THE DIGESTIVE TRACT. MAY CAUSE PERFORATION OF THE DIGESTIVE
TRACT. MAY CAUSE GASTRITIS. MAY CAUSE ABDOMINAL PAIN. INGESTION MAY CAUSE
NAUSEA, VOMITING. VOMIT MAY RESEMBLE "COFFEE GROUNDS". MAY CAUSE METABOLIC
ACIDOSIS.
ASPIRATION HAZARD: NO INFORMATION AVAILABLE
DELAYED AND IMMEDIATE EFFECTS AS WELL AS CHRONIC EFFECTS FROM SHORT AND
LONG-TERM EXPOSURE:

INHALATION:
PROLONGED OR REPEATED INHALATION MAY AFFECT BEHAVIOR (MUSCLE CONTRACTION
OR SPASTICITY), URINARY SYSTEM (KIDNEY DAMAGE), AND RESPIRATORY
SYSTEM/LUNGS(PULMONARY EDEMA, LUNG DAMAGE/CHANGES IN LUNG FUNCTION WITH
CHRONIC BRONCHITIS AND EMPHYSEMA), TEETH (DENTAL DISCOLORATION, EROSION).
SKIN: PROLONGED OR REPEATED SKIN CONTACT MAY CAUSE DERMATITIS.
EYES: CONJUNCTIVITIS IS ALSO A COMMON FINDING WITH CHRONIC EXPOSURE.
SENSITIZATION: NO INFORMATION AVAILABLE
MUTAGENIC EFFECTS: NO INFORMATION AVAILABLE
CARCINOGENIC EFFECTS:
MAY CAUSE CANCER. HOWEVER, EVIDENCE IS INCONCLUSIVE.
CANCER STATUS:
THE INTERNATIONAL AGENCY FOR RESEARCH ON CANCER (IARC) HAS CLASSIFIED
"STRONG INORGANIC ACID MISTS CONTAINING SULFURIC ACID" AS A KNOWN HUMAN
CARCINOGEN, (IARC GROUP 1). HOWEVER, THIS CLASSIFICATION APPLIES ONLY TO
MISTS CONTAINING SULFURIC ACID GENERATED DURING AN INDUSTRIAL PROCESS AND
NOT TO (ALMOST) PURE SULFURIC ACID OR SULFURIC ACID SOLUTIONS; THE ACGIH
HAS CLASSIFIED "STRONG INORGANIC ACID MISTS CONTAINING SULFURIC ACID" AS A
SUSPECTED HUMAN CARCINOGEN (ACGIH GROUP A2). HOWEVER, THIS CLASSIFICATION
APPLIES ONLY TO MISTS CONTAINING SULFURIC ACID GENERATED DURING AN
INDUSTRIAL PROCESS AND NOT TO (ALMOST) PURE SULFURIC ACID OR SULFURIC ACID

IN MICE AND RABBITS", JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND HEALTH, PART C,
VOL. 13, PAGES 251-266, 1979), MUSCULOSKELETAL DEVELOPMENTAL ABNORMALITIES
WERE FOUND IN RABBITS AT A DOSE OF 20 MG/M3 FOR 7 HRS. HOWEVER, REPROTOX
AND SHEPARD'S CATALOG OF TERATOGENIC AGENTS, CITING THIS SAME STUDY, STATED
THAT INHALATION OF SULFURIC ACID FUMES DID NOT INCREASE CONGENITAL
ANOMALIES IN THE OFFSPRING OF TREATED PREGNANT MICE OR RABBITS.
FURTHERMORE, THE HAZARD SUBSTANCE DATA BANK (HSDB) ALSO STATED THAT IN A
DEVELOPMENTAL TOXICITY STUDY CONDUCTED UNDER A METHOD SIMILAR TO OECD TEST
GUIDELINE 414 THAT NO SIGNIFICANT EFFECTS ON MEAN NUMBERS OF IMPLANTS/DAM,
LIVE FETUSES/LITER OR RESORPTIONS/LITTER WERE OBSERVED IN MICE AND RABBITS
EXPOSED BY INHALATION TO SULFURIC ACID AEROSOL AT 5 AND 20 MG/M3 DURING
GESTATION AND THEREFORE COULD NOT BE CONSIDERED EMBRYOTOXIC, OR FETOXIC.
