Section 3 - Hazards Identification

EMERGENCY OVERVIEW

Appearance: colorless. Danger! Corrosive. Causes eye and skin burns. Causes digestive and respiratory tract burns.
Target Organs: None.


Potential Health Effects
Eye: Causes severe eye burns. Eye contact can result in blindness; exposure to mist leads to watering, irritation.
Skin: Skin contact may result in severe burns, blistering, pain.
Ingestion: May cause severe and permanent damage to the digestive tract. Causes gastrointestinal tract burns. Vomiting and diarrhea of dark blood may occur; asphyxia from throat swelling. Stomach and esophagus may become perforated.
Inhalation: May cause severe irritation of the respiratory tract with sore throat, coughing, shortness of breath and delayed lung edema. Causes chemical burns to the respiratory tract. At 5mg/M3 concentrations, nose and throat irritation occurs, with headache, cough, increased respiratory rate, impairment of lung to ventilate.
Chronic: Delayed symptoms include tight chest, fluid in lungs, cyanosis (blue ), hypotension, bronchitis or emphysema. tracheobronchitis, dental erosion/discoloration, pneumonia, gastrointestinal disturbances may occur. Skin irritation/dermatitis, conjunctivitis and lacrimation of the eye can occur.

Section 4 - First Aid Measures


Eyes: Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, occasionally lifting the upper and lower lids until chemical is gone. Get medical aid at once.
Skin: Get medical aid at once. Immediately flush skin with plenty of soap and water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes.
Ingestion: Do NOT induce vomiting. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Get medical aid at once. Give one ounce (30ml) of milk of magnesia. Give conscious victim large quantities of water to dilute acid.
Inhalation: Get medical aid at once. Move victim to fresh air immediately. Give artificial respiration if necessary. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen.
Notes to Physician: Treat symptomatically and supportively.

Section 5 - Firefighting Measures


General Information: As in any fire, wear a self-contained breathing apparatus in pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent), and full protective gear. Contact with metals may evolve flammable hydrogen gas. Avoid breathing toxic and corrosive vapors - keep upwind.
Extinguishing Media: Use extinguishing media most appropriate for the surrounding fire.

Section 6 - Accidental Release Measures


General Information: Use proper personal protective equipment as indicated in Section 8.
Spills/Leaks: May be neutralized with slaked lime, limestone, or sodium bicarbonate to a pH 7. Place in labeled plastic containers for disposal, wash area down with water.

Section 7 - Handling and Storage


Handling: Wash thoroughly after handling. Do not get in eyes, on skin, or on clothing. Do not ingest or inhale. Use with adequate ventilation.
Storage: Do not store near alkaline substances. Store in labeled non-reactive containers (glass, plastic) protected from heat and incompatible substances.

Section 8 - Exposure Controls, Personal Protection


Engineering Controls: Use adequate general or local exhaust ventilation to keep airborne concentrations below the permissible exposure limits.
