EMERGENCY OVERVIEW:
OVEREXPOSURE TO PRODUCT HAS THE FOLLOWING EFFECTS:
INHALATION OF VAPORS MAY CAUSE PULMONARY EDEMA, COLLAPSE OF CIRCULATORY
SYSTEM AND DAMAGE TO THE UPPER RESPIRATORY SYSTEM AND COLLAPSE. INHALATION
MAY CAUSE COUGHING, THROAT BURNING, CHOKING, BRONCHITIS AND DIFFICULT
BREATHING. INGESTION IS HARMFUL AND MAY BE FATAL. INGESTION MAY CAUSE
BURNS.
POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS:
EYES:
CORROSIVE. CAUSES EYE DAMAGE. WEAR SPLASH PROOF GOGGLES. PROVIDE CONVENIENT
EYEWASH STATIONS. FLUSH IMMEDIATELY WITH WATER FOR 15 MINUTES. GET PROMPT
MEDICAL ATTENTION.
SKIN:
CORROSIVE. CAUSES IRRITATION AND BURNS. WEAR ACID-RESISTANT PROTECTIVE
GLOVES, BOOTS, AND CLOTHING. PROVIDE CONVENIENT SAFETY SHOWERS. REMOVE
CONTAMINATED CLOTHING. FLUSH SKIN THOROUGHLY WITH WATER FOR 15 MINUTES. GET
MEDICAL ATTENTION IF BURNS PERSIST.
INGESTION:
CORROSIVE. CAUSES IRRITATION AND BURNING IN MOUTH, ESOPHAGUS, THROAT AND
STOMACH. AVOID SWALLOWING. DRINK LOTS OF WATER OR, PREFERABLY, MILK. GET
MEDICAL ATTENTION IF EFFECTS PERSIST. DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING.
INHALATION:
BREATHING OF VAPOR CAN CAUSE RESPIRATORY IRRITATION AND INFLAMMATION.
BREATHING OF MIST OR LIQUID CAN CAUSE BURNS. WEAR APPROVED HCl VAPOR/MIST
RESPIRATOR IF EXPOSURE IS LIKELY. REMOVE TO FRESH AIR. GIVE ARTIFICIAL
RESPIRATION OR OXYGEN IF NEEDED. GET PROMPT MEDICAL ATTENTION.
CHRONIC EXPOSURE:
EYES & SKIN: CORROSIVE TO TISSUES. CAUSES BURNS TO EYES AND SKIN.
INGESTION:
HARMFUL IF SWALLOWED. BURNS TO MOUTH, THROAT AND STOMACH ARE LIKELY.
INHALATION: MISTS MAY CAUSE COUGHING AND IRRITATION TO RESPIRATORY TRACT.
CARCINOGENICITY: NO DATA.
MEDICAL CONDITIONS AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE: NO DATA.
| SECTION 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES | |

| SECTION 6 - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES | |
SPILL OR LEAK:
SMALL SPILLS CAN BE FLUSHED INTO NORMAL DRAINAGE OR INTO GROUND WITH
COPIOUS AMOUNTS OF WATER, OR TAKEN UP WITH ABSORBENT MATERIAL. LARGER
SPILLS SHOULD BE CONTAINED BY DIKE OR OTHER METHODS AND HELD FOR COLLECTION
AND/OR REUSE, OR FOR NEUTRALIZATION WITH ALKALI BEFORE COLLECTION &
DISPOSAL. PEOPLE SHOULD USE EYE AND SKIN PROTECTION & RESPIRATOR.
| SECTION 7 - HANDLING AND STORAGE | |
HANDLING PROCEDURES AND EQUIPMENT:
CHECK DAILY FOR ANY LEAKS FROM CONTAINERS, VESSELS, PUMPS, AND PIPING. HAVE
WATER HOSES AND ALKALI (CAUSTIC SODA, LIME, ETC.) CONVENIENT. ONLY USE
CONTAINERS AND EQUIPMENT DESIGNED FOR ACID SERVICE.
STORAGE REQUIREMENTS:
AREAS OF USE AND STORAGE SHOULD BE VENTILATED ADEQUATELY TO REDUCE VAPORS
BELOW ODOR LEVEL.
| SECTION 8 - EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION | |
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION:
A NIOSH - APPROVED RESPIRATOR FOR ACIDS IS RECOMMENDED.
