Section 3 - Hazards Identification
|
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Appearance: APHA: 10 max liquid.
Danger! Causes burns by all exposure routes.
Hygroscopic (absorbs moisture from the air).
Target Organs: Respiratory system,
gastrointestinal system, eyes, skin.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
May cause irreversible eye injury. Contact with liquid is
corrosive to the eyes and causes severe burns.
Skin:
Contact with liquid is corrosive and causes severe burns and
ulceration.
Ingestion:
Causes gastrointestinal tract burns. Causes severe pain, nausea,
vomiting, diarrhea, and shock. May cause hemorrhaging of the
digestive tract. May cause corrosion and permanent tissue
destruction of the esophagus and digestive tract.
Inhalation:
Irritation may lead to chemical pneumonitis and pulmonary edema.
Causes severe irritation of upper respiratory tract with coughing,
burns, breathing difficulty, and possible coma. Causes chemical
burns to the respiratory tract.
Chronic:
Prolonged inhalation may cause respiratory tract inflammation and
lung damage. Prolonged or repeated skin contact may cause
dermatitis. Prolonged or repeated eye contact may cause
conjunctivitis.
|
Section 4 - First Aid Measures
|
Eyes:
Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes,
occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids. Get medical aid imme
diately.
Skin:
Get medical aid immediately. Immediately flush skin with plenty of
water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing
and shoes.
Ingestion:
Do not induce vomiting. Get medical aid immediately. Call a poison
control center.
Inhalation:
Get medical aid immediately. Remove from exposure and move to fresh
air immediately. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Do not use

Ecotoxicity:
Fish: Mosquito Fish: LC50 = 138 mg/L; 96 Hr; Unspecified
No data available.
Environmental:
The acidity of phosphoric acid may be reduced readily by natural
water hardness minerals, but the phosphate may persist indefinitely.
During transport through the soil, phosphoric acid will dissolve some
of the soil material, in particular, carbonate-based materials. The
acid will be neutralized to some degree with adsorption of the proton
and phosphate ions also possible. However, significant amounts of
acid will remain for transport down toward the groundwater table.
Physical:
No information available.
Other:
Dangerous to aquatic life in high concentrations.
