CAUSE CORROSIVE DAMAGE WITH SEVERE IRRITATION, BURNS, AND POSSIBLE EYE
INJURY.
POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS: SKIN
SKIN CONTACT WITH CONTENTS OF TUBE AND VAPOR OR MIST FROM THE TUBE MAY
CAUSE CORROSIVE DAMAGE WITH SEVERE IRRITATION AND BURNS. BURNS MAY BE
ENHANCED IN THE PRESENCE OF WATER.
POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS: INGESTION
PRODUCT CONTENTS MAY BE HARMFUL OR FATAL IF SWALLOWED. THIS PRODUCT MAY
PRODUCE CORROSIVE DAMAGE TO THE GASTROINTESTINAL TRACT IF IT IS

| SECTION 6 - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES | |
CONTAINMENT PROCEDURES:
BLOCK ANY POTENTIAL ROUTES TO WATER SYSTEMS. DO NOT INHALE VAPOR, FUMES,
OR DUST FROM THE SPILLED MATERIAL. DO NOT ALLOW SPILLED MATERIAL TO
CONTACT EYES OR SKIN.
CLEAN-UP PROCEDURES:
ABSORB SPILL WITH INERT MATERIAL. SHOVEL MATERIAL INTO APPROPRIATE
CONTAINER FOR DISPOSAL. THOROUGHLY WASH THE AREA WITH WATER AFTER A SPILL
OR LEAK CLEAN-UP. DILUTE TUBE CONTENTS WITH WATER AND BAKING SODA. SWEEP
UP OR SCRAPE BROKEN TUBES INTO CONTAINER FOR DISPOSAL. DO NOT PICK UP
GLASS WITH BARE HANDS. DO NOT USE WATER TO FLUSH AWAY SPILL BECAUSE A
VIOLENT EXOTHERMIC REACTION MAY RESULT.
EVACUATION PROCEDURES: ISOLATE AREA. KEEP UNNECESSARY PERSONNEL AWAY.
SPECIAL PROCEDURES:
FOLLOW ALL LOCAL, STATE, FEDERAL AND PROVINCIAL REGULATIONS FOR DISPOSAL.
| SECTION 7 - HANDLING AND STORAGE | |
HANDLING PROCEDURES:
CONTENTS ARE CORROSIVE. DO NOT GET THIS MATERIAL IN CONTACT WITH SKIN OR
EYES. DO NOT INHALE VAPORS OR MISTS OF THIS PRODUCT. AVOID CONTACT WITH

| SECTION 10 - CHEMICAL STABILITY & REACTIVITY INFORMATION | |
CHEMICAL STABILITY:
STABLE UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS.
WHEN AIR IS PUMPED INTO THE TUBE BY MEANS OF THE RUBBER BULB, SO3 WILL BE
RELEASED. PER EACH PUMP STROKE APPROXIMATELY 3-4 MG SO3 IS PRODUCED. THIS
CORRESPONDS TO THE REACTION OF AIR HUMIDITY WITH 4-5 MG H2SO4. BY USING
THE TUBE IN A ROOM OF 10 M3 THIS CORRESPONDS TO A CONCENTRATION OF
0.5 MG/M3 H2SO4.
CHEMICAL STABILITY: CONDITIONS TO AVOID
AVOID CONTACT WITH WATER. DO NOT MIX OTHER SUBSTANCES WITH THE CONTENTS OF
TUBE.
INCOMPATIBILITY: TUBE CONTENTS REACT WITH BASES AND WATER.
HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION:
DECOMPOSITION OF THIS PRODUCT PRODUCES TOXIC SULFUR OXIDES.
HAZARDOUS POLYMERIZATION: WILL NOT OCCUR.
| SECTION 11 - TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION | |
ACUTE TOXICITY:
A: GENERAL PRODUCT INFORMATION
THE CORROSIVE PROPERTIES OF THIS PRODUCT ARE PRESENTED BY THE OLEUM
CONTAINED IN THE GLASS TUBE. OLEUM EMITS TOXIC AND CHOKING VAPORS OF
SULFUR TRIOXIDE WHICH ARE MAY CAUSE SEVERE IRRITATION OR INJURY TO THE
EYES, THROAT AND LUNGS. IF THE GLASS TUBE IS BROKEN, THE SHARP EDGES MAY
CAUSE CUTS OR SCRAPES. SULFURIC ACID IS CORROSIVE TO THE EYES, SKIN,
RESPIRATORY SYSTEM AND GASTROINTESTINAL TRACT. EXPOSURE TO SULFURIC ACID
MAY LEAD TO DENTAL EROSION, BRONCHITIS, FIBROSIS, EMPHYSEMA AND PULMONARY
EDEMA. EXPOSURE TO MISTS CONTAINING SULFURIC ACID HAVE BEEN IMPLICATED IN
CAUSING CANCER IN HUMANS.
