SECTION 04 ?FIRST AID MEASURES
GENERAL:
This material is an acid; treatment is symptomatic and supportive. Phosphoric acid has irritating effects to mucous
membranes.
FIRST AID FOR EYES:
Immediately flush eyes with running water for a minimum of 20 minutes. Hold eyelids open during flushing. If irritation
persists, repeat flushing. Obtain medical attention IMMEDIATELY. Do not transport victim until the recommended
flushing period is completed unless flushing can be continued during transport.
FIRST AID FOR SKIN:
Flush IMMEDIATELY under running water for minimum of 20 minutes. If redness or irritation persists, repeat
flushing. Seek IMMEDIATE medical attention. Start flushing while removing contaminated clothing. Do not transport
victim unless the recommended flushing period is completed or flushing can be continued during transport.
Discard heavily contaminated clothing and shoes in a manner that limits further exposure. Otherwise, wash clothing
separately before reuse.
FIRST AID FOR INHALATION:
NOTE: Do not use mouth-to-mouth method if victim ingested or inhaled the substance. Induce artificial respiration
with the aid of a pocket mask equipped with a one-way valve or other proper respiratory medical device.
Remove subject to fresh air. Seek medical aid if lung irritation persists or if breathing becomes difficult. If breathing
stops, begin artificial respiration (rescue breathing). If no breathing and no pulse, begin Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation
(CPR). Seek IMMEDIATE medical attention.
FIRST AID FOR INGESTION:
If ingested material may cause damage to internal tissues, IMMEDIATELY call physician and seek medical attention.
Send copy of MSDS to physician.
DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. If vomiting occurs, have victim lean forward with head down.
If victim is alert and not convulsing, rinse mouth with water or saline solution to dilute material. NEVER give anything
by mouth to an unconscious person. Do not give oral fluids or attempt to neutralize the ingested material.
NOTE TO PHYSICIAN:
Treat in accordance with nature of observed signs and symptoms of the patient consistent with Emergency and First-Aid
procedures.
For ingestion, use of gastric lavage is controversial. The advantage of removal of acid must be weighted against the risk
of perforation or bleeding. Please consult a gastroenterologist and/or surgeon first.

FLASH POINT (oF): Not applicable
FLAMMABLE LIMITS:
Lower Explosive Limit (LEL): Not applicable
Upper Explosive Limit (UEL): Not applicable
AUTOIGNITION TEMPERATURE (oF): Not applicable
HAZARDOUS COMBUSTION PRODUCTS:
May give off toxic fumes (oxides of phosphorus) in a fire. May react with metals to liberate hydrogen, a flammable gas.
SPECIAL FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES:
Exercise CAUTION when fighting any chemical fire. Evacuate non-essential personnel to a safe area. Prevent
unauthorized entry to fire area.
Use NIOSH approved positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing.
For fighting fires in close proximity to spill or vapors, use acid-resistant personal protective equipment.
Dike area to contain runoff and prevent contamination of water sources. Neutralize runoff with lime, soda ash, magnesium
hydroxide or other suitable neutralizing agents.
Use water spray to cool containers that are exposed to flames until fire is out. If water is used, use in abundance to control
heat build-up from reaction with acid.
UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS:
Potential for formation of flammable gases if reacted with aldehydes, cyanides, mercaptans and sulfides
Reacts with many metals and chlorides to liberate hydrogen gas which can form explosive mixtures with air. Can
accumulate to explosive concentrations inside drums, or any types of steel containers or tanks upon storage. STAY
AWAY from sealed containers in fire situations. Fight fire from maximum distance possible.
Mixtures with nitromethane are explosive.
PHOSPHORIC ACID (5%-40%) Page 5 of 14
SECTION 06 - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
STEPS TO BE TAKEN IN CASE OF SPILL OR LEAK:
Isolate spill area. Evacuate non-essential personnel to a safe distance. Personnel responding to spill must be properly
trained. Avoid unnecessary exposure and remove all material from eyes, skin and clothing. Do not ingest or inhale mists
of phosphoric acid.
Wear proper personal protective equipment. Avoid inhalation of mists and vapors. Do not touch or walk through spilled
material.
If safe to do so, stop discharge and contain spill by forming barriers to minimize contaminated area. Prevent liquid from
entering sewers or waterways. Diking and absorbent materials must be non-reactive with corrosive materials.
Contain and recover liquid material when possible. Collect all contaminated materials in containers compatible with
corrosives. If for some reason any contaminated material can not be collected for disposal it may be neutralized with soda
ash or lime subject to waste treatment regulations.
Spills are subject to CERCLA reporting requirements: RQ = 5000 lbs of 100% Phosphoric Acid. National Response Center
(800-424-8802)
Ensure adequate decontamination of tools and equipment following clean up. Decontaminate tools and equipment by using
alkaline neutralizing agent and scrubbing with soap and water. Remove any cleaning wastes and contaminated soil with
the recovered material.
Due to corrosivity, cleaned up material may be a RCRA Hazardous Waste. Generator is responsible for proper
characterization of waste material. Dispose waste material at approved waste treatment/disposal facility in accordance
with applicable State, Local, Provincial and Federal regulations. See Section 13 for additional information.
SECTION 07 - HANDLING AND STORAGE
HANDLING PROCEDURES:
Wear appropriate personal protective equipment to avoid contact with eyes and skin. Avoid inhalation of mist and vapors.
Do not ingest material.
Keep containers closed. Use only with adequate ventilation.
CAUTION: Hydrogen may accumulate to explosive concentrations inside enclosed metal drums, containers or tanks
upon storage. When opening metal containers, use spark-proof tools. Keep ignition sources away from storage, handling
and transportation equipment.
Locate safety shower and eyewash station close to chemical handling area.
Use care when diluting with water. Always add acid to water.
Containers of this material may be hazardous when empty since they may contain product residues.
PHOSPHORIC ACID (5%-40%) Page 6 of 14
STORAGE INFORMATION:
Store in plastic, rubber-lined, or 316L stainless steel containers designed for Phosphoric Acid.
Store containers in cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from heat, moisture, direct sunlight and incompatibles. Store above
freezing point.
Contact with reactive metals, i.e. mild steel and aluminium, may generate hydrogen that may form and explosive mixture in
storage vessels.
Keep away from alkalis, sulfides, cyanides, metal powders, and fluorine.
SECTION 08 ?EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT:
RECOMMENDED: Chemical safety goggles with face shield. Impervious (i.e., neoprene, PVC) gloves, coveralls, boots
and/or other acid resistant protective clothing. Full-face respirator should be utilized when there is potential exposure to
acid mist.
A hard hat, and high top steel-toed safety shoes and safety glasses with side shields should also be worn.
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION:
A NIOSH approved, fullface air-purifying respirator equipped with acid gas cartridge and N95 or higher particulate filter for
concentrations up to 50 times the exposure limit. If oil particles are present, use R or P type filters.
For unknown concentrations, as well as fire-fighting and other emergencies, use NIOSH approved, positive pressure, self-
contained breathing apparatus.
SKIN PROTECTION:
PROTECTIVE GLOVES:
Impervious (i.e., neoprene, PVC) gloves.
EYE PROTECTION:
Tight-fitting chemical goggles and face shield.
OTHER PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT:
Where there is a danger of spilling or splashing, acid resistant aprons or suits should be worn. Trouser legs should be worn
outside (not tucked in) rubber boots.
Eyewash and safety shower must be available in the work area.
ENGINEERING CONTROLS:
Use enclosed processes and local exhaust ventilation to keep airborne contaminants below recommended exposure limits.
Wash hands and face thoroughly before eating, drinking, using tobacco, or applying cosmetics when working or handling
this material.

Phosphoric acid reacts chemically with soil to form phosphate ion. Phosphate ion is primary supplier of phosphorous to
plants. Under anaerobic conditions in presence of certain micro-organisms, phosphate may undergo reduction to
phosphine.
Under acidic soil conditions, phosphates tend to become soluble and may migrate to water. Due to high mobility, product
may reach ground water.
Phosphoric acid undergoes ionic disassociation in water to form phosphate ion.
