Section 3 - Hazards Identification

EMERGENCY OVERVIEW

Appearance: colorless. Caution! May cause respiratory tract irritation. May cause eye and skin irritation. May cause digestive tract irritation with nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea.
Target Organs: None known.


Potential Health Effects
Eye: Eye contact may result in swelling irritation, damage to the cornea and conjunctiva resulting in blurred or partial loss of vision.
Skin: Skin contact may result in irritation, pain, burns, blisters, and brown or yellow stains.
Ingestion: Ingestion may result in severe burns of the mouth, throat, and stomach; vomiting and diarrhea of dark blood. yxia from throat swelling can occur, perforations of the esophagus and stomach can occur.
Inhalation: 50ppm causes irritation to most individuals. Respiratory irritation, coughing, choking, headache, dizziness, weakness can occur. Delayed symptoms include lung fluid, chest pains, frothy sputum, cyanosis, rales and hypotension.
Chronic: May cause dermatitis and conjunctivitis. Dental erosion, tooth discolorization, jaw necrosis, nasal ulceration, laryngitis, bronchitis, pneumonia and gastrointestinal disturbances can occur.

Section 4 - First Aid Measures


Eyes: Flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, occasionally lifting the upper and lower lids until no evidence of chemical remains. Cover burns with loose sterile non-medicated bandages.
Skin: Get medical aid at once. Flush skin with plenty of soap and water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Cover burns with a dry sterile bandage (secure, not tight).
Ingestion: Do NOT induce vomiting and seek IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ADVICE. 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. Maintain airway, give oxygen (medical trained only), maintain blood pressure.
Notes to Physician: Treat symptomatically.

Section 5 - Firefighting Measures


General Information: Move container if possible, cool with flooding amounts of water. Avoid breathing corrosive vapors, knock down with water spray. Vapors heavier than air, may travel considerable distance and flash back from source of ignition.
Extinguishing Media: For small fires, use dry chemical, carbon dioxide, water spray or alcohol-resistant foam.

Section 6 - Accidental Release Measures


General Information: Use proper personal protective equipment as indicated in Section 8.
Spills/Leaks: Absorb spill with an alkaline material such as soda ash or lime. Place in labeled plastic containers for disposal, wash area down with water. Absorb liquid with inert or neutralizing substance such as fuller's earth, cement powder, fly ash, sand.

Section 7 - Handling and Storage


Handling: Wash thoroughly after handling. Use only in a well ventilated area. Avoid prolonged or repeated contact with skin.
Storage: Store in cool, dry area away from heat and oxidizers.

Section 8 - Exposure Controls, Personal Protection


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