Section 3 - Hazards Identification

EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Appearance: colorless clear liquid.
Danger! Causes eye and skin burns. May cause
severe respiratory tract irritation with possible burns. May cause
severe digestive tract irritation with possible burns. May cause
fetal effects based upon animal studies.
Target Organs: Respiratory system, teeth, eyes,
skin, circulatory system.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
May cause irreversible eye injury. Vapor or mist may cause
irritation and severe burns. Contact with liquid is corrosive to the
eyes and causes severe burns. May cause painful sensitization to
light.
Skin:
Contact with liquid is corrosive and causes severe burns and
ulceration.
Ingestion:
May cause circulatory system failure. Causes severe digestive tract
burns with abdominal pain, vomiting, and possible death. May cause
corrosion and permanent tissue destruction of the esophagus and
digestive tract.
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. Exposure to the mist and
vapor may erode exposed teeth. Causes corrosive action on the mucous
membranes.
Chronic:
Prolonged or repeated skin contact may cause dermatitis. Repeated
exposure may cause erosion of teeth. May cause fetal effects.
Laboratory experiments have resulted in mutagenic effects. Prolonged
exposure may cause conjunctivitis, photosensitization, and possible
blindness.
Section 4 - First Aid Measures
|
Eyes:
Get medical aid immediately. Do NOT allow victim to rub eyes or keep
eyes closed. Extensive irrigation with water is required (at least 30
minutes). SPEEDY ACTION IS CRITICAL!
Skin:
Get medical aid immediately. Immediately flush skin with plenty of
water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing
and shoes. Wash clothing before reuse. Destroy contaminated shoes.
Ingestion:
Do not induce vomiting. If victim is conscious and alert, give 2-4
cupfuls of milk or water. Never give anything by mouth to an
unconscious person. Get medical aid immediately. Give milk of
magnesia.
Inhalation:
Get medical aid immediately. Remove from exposure and move to fresh
air immediately. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Do NOT use
mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. If breathing has ceased apply
artificial respiration using oxygen and a suitable mechanical device
such as a bag and a mask.
Notes to Physician:
Do NOT use sodium bicarbonate in an attempt to neutralize the acid.
Antidote:
Do NOT use oils or ointments in eye.
Section 5 - Fire Fighting 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. Water runoff can cause environmental damage. Dike
and collect water used to fight fire. During a fire, irritating and
highly toxic gases may be generated by thermal decomposition or
combustion. Not flammable, but reacts with most metals to form
flammable hydrogen gas. Use water spray to keep fire-exposed
containers cool. Vapors may be heavier than air. They can spread
along the ground and collect in low or confined areas. Reaction with
water may generate much heat which will increase the concentration
of fumes in the air. Containers may explode when heated.
Extinguishing Media:
For large fires, use water spray, fog, or alcohol-resistant foam.
Substance is nonflammable; use agent most appropriate to extinguish
surrounding fire. Do NOT get water inside containers. Do NOT use
straight streams of water. Most foams will react with the material
and release corrosive/toxic gases. Cool containers with flooding
quantities of water until well after fire is out. For small fires,
use carbon dioxide (except for cyanides), dry chemical, dry sand,
and alcohol-resistant foam.
Flash Point: Not applicable.
Autoignition Temperature: Not applicable.
Explosion Limits, Lower:Not available.
Upper: Not available.
NFPA Rating:
(estimated) Health: 3; Flammability: 0; Instability: 0
Section 6 - Accidental Release Measures
|
General Information: Use proper personal protective equipment as indicated
in Section 8.
Spills/Leaks:
Large spills may be neutralized with dilute alkaline solutions of
soda ash (sodium carbonate, Na2CO3), or lime (calcium oxide, CaO).
Avoid runoff into storm sewers and ditches which lead to waterways.
Clean up spills immediately, observing precautions in the Protective
Equipment section. Remove all sources of ignition. Provide
ventilation. Do not get water inside containers. A vapor suppressing
foam may be used to reduce vapors. Cover with dry earth, dry sand,
or other non-combustible material followed with plastic sheet to
minimize spreading and contact with water.
Section 7 - Handling and Storage
|
Handling:
Wash thoroughly after handling. Remove contaminated clothing and
wash before reuse. Use only in a well-ventilated area. Contents may
develop pressure upon prolonged storage. Do not breathe dust, mist,
or vapor. Do not get in eyes, on skin, or on clothing. Keep container
tightly closed. Do not ingest or inhale. Discard contaminated shoes.
Use caution when opening. Keep from contact with moist air and
steam.
Storage:
Do not store in direct sunlight. Keep container closed when not in
use. Store in a tightly closed container. Store in a cool, dry,
well-ventilated area away from incompatible substances. Corrosives
area. Do not store in metal containers. Do not store near flammable
or oxidizing substances (especially nitric acid or chlorates).
Section 8 - Exposure Controls, Personal Protection
|
Engineering Controls:
Facilities storing or utilizing this material should be equipped
with an eyewash facility and a safety shower. Use adequate general or
local exhaust ventilation to keep airborne concentrations below the
permissible exposure limits.
