=====================  Hazards Identification  =====================

Routes of Entry: Inhalation:YES  Skin:YES  Ingestion:YES
Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:NO    IARC:NO	OSHA:NO
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:RAPIDLY CAUSES SEVERE BURNS TO SKIN,
    EYE AND ALL BODY TISSUE. INGESTION MAY CAUSE BURNS TO MOUTH,
    ESOPHAGUS AND STOMACH. INHALATION OF VAPOR/MIST MAY CAUSE
    RESPIRATORY IRRITATION. LONG TERM OVEREXPOSU RE TO VAPOR/MIST MAY
    RESULT IN DAMAGE TO TEETH.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:NOT CARCINOGENIC.
Effects of Overexposure:INHALATION-ACID MIST OR VAPORS MAY CAUSE DAMAGE
    TO THE UPPER RESPIRATORY TRACT AND EVEN THE LUNG TISSUE PROPER
    WHICH COULD PRODUCE DELAYED PULMONARY REACTION, DEPENDING UPON
    SEVERITY OF EXPOSURE.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:NONE SPECIFIED BY MANUFACTURER.

=======================  First Aid Measures  =======================

First Aid:EYES-IMMEDIATELY FLUSH EYES WITH LARGE AMOUNTS OF WATER FOR
    AT LEAST 15 MINUTES. SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION. SKIN-WASH CONTAMINATED
    AREAS WITH PLENTY OF WATER. SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION.
    INHALATION-REMOVE PE RSON IMMEDIATELY. PERFORM CPR OR GIVE OXYGEN
    FOR BREATHING. INGESTION-DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. GIVE LARGE
    QUANTITIES OF WATER. IF VOMITING OCCURS, KEEP AIRWAY CLEAR. SEEK
    IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION.

=====================  Fire Fighting Measures  =====================

Flash Point:NON-FLAMMABLE
Extinguishing Media:FOR FIRES IN THE AREA, USE APPROVED EXTINGUISHING
    MEDIA SUCH AS WATER, CARBON DIOXIDE OR DRY CHEMICAL.
Fire Fighting Procedures:WEAR FULL ACID PROTECTIVE CLOTHING WHEN
    POSSIBILITY OF ACID CONTACT EXIST. ADDITION OF WATER TO THE ACID
    CAUSES VIOLENT GENERATION OF HEAT, POSSIBLE SPLATTERING
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:NONFLAMMABLE, BUT MAY CAUSE IGNITION BY
    CONTACT WITH COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS. DILUTE ACID REACTS WITH MOST
    METALS GIVING OFF FLAMMABLE HYDROGEN GAS.

==================  Accidental Release Measures  ==================

Spill Release Procedures:SPILL AREA SHOULD BE ISOLATED TO AVOID
    EMPLOYEE EXPOSURE. DIKE LARGE SPILLS. FLUSH AWAY BY FLOODING WITH
    WATER APPLIED QUICKLY TO ENTIRE AREA. USE SODA ASH OR LIME TO
    NEUTRALIZE REMAINING ACIDITY.
Neutralizing Agent:SODA ASH OR LIME.
