EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Appearance: not available liquid.
Danger! May cause severe eye irritation and
possible injury. Causes skin and respiratory tract irritation.
Corrosive to metal.
Target Organs: Eyes.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
May cause irreversible eye injury. May cause chemical
conjunctivitis and corneal damage.
Skin:
Causes skin irritation.
Ingestion:
May cause irritation of the digestive tract. May cause systemic
effects.
Inhalation:
Effects may be delayed. Causes respiratory tract irritation. May
cause systemic effects.
Chronic:
Exposure to high concentrations of nitric acid vapor may cause
pneuomonitis and pulmonary edema which may be fatal. Symptoms may or
may not be delayed. Continued exposure to the vapor & mist of nitric
acid may result in a chronic bronchitis, & more severe exposure
results in a chemical pneumonitis. The vapor & mists of nitric acid
may erode the teeth, particularly affecting the canines & incisors.
|
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).
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.
Inhalation:
Get medical aid immediately. Remove from exposure and move to fresh
air immediately. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. 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:
Treat symptomatically and supportively.
|
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. During a fire, irritating and highly toxic gases
may be generated by thermal decomposition or combustion. Wear
appropriate protective clothing to prevent contact with skin and
eyes. Wear a self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) to prevent
contact with thermal decomposition products. Vapors may be heavier
than air. They can spread along the ground and collect in low or
confined areas.
Extinguishing Media:
Substance is noncombustible; use agent most appropriate to
extinguish surrounding fire. Cool containers with flooding quantities
of water until well after fire is out.
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:
Absorb spill with inert material (e.g. vermiculite, sand or earth),
then place in suitable container. Avoid runoff into storm sewers and
ditches which lead to waterways. Clean up spills immediately,
observing precautions in the Protective Equipment section. Neutralize
spill with sodium bicarbonate. Provide ventilation.
|
Section 7 - Handling and Storage
|
Handling:
Wash thoroughly after handling. Remove contaminated clothing and
wash before reuse. Use only in a well-ventilated area. Do not breathe
dust, mist, or vapor. Do not get in eyes, on skin, or on clothing.
Keep container tightly closed. Discard contaminated shoes.
Storage:
Keep container closed when not in use. Store in a cool, dry,
well-ventilated area away from incompatible substances. Corrosives
area.
|
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.
