SECTION III - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATIONS
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW: DANGER! Corrosive to all body tissues. Avoid contact with skin or eyes. Harmful if inhaled or swallowed.
POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS:
INHALATION: Inhalation of vapor or mist is corrosive to respiratory tract. Symptoms include coughing, wheezing, laryngitis,
shortness of breath, headache, nausea, and vomiting.
EYE CONTACT: Liquid or vapors are corrosive to eyes. Immediate irritation followed by destruction of tissue.
SKIN CONTACT: This material is corrosive to all body tissues. Full extent of damage may not be apparent for 12 - 24 hours after
exposure. Severe burns are slow healing. Gangrene may follow damage.
INGESTION: Corrosive, moderately toxic, causes nausea, vomiting, loss of consciousness.
CHRONIC Effects: Damage to kidneys and liver (phosphoric acid). Changes in bones or joints (hydrofluoric acid).
NOTE:
CARCINOGENICITY: LISTED IN NTP? No IARC? No OSHA Regulated? No
SECTION IV - FIRST AID MEASURES
INHALATION: Remove victim to fresh air and, if needed, immediately begin artificial respiration. Give oxygen if breathing is labored. Get
emergency medical help. Contact a physician immediately.
EYE CONTACT: Flush eyes with water for 15 minutes. Get medical attention.
SKIN CONTACT: Flush with water or soap and water for 15 minutes or until all traces have been removed. Seek medical attention if symptoms
develop and persist.
INGESTION: Do not induce vomiting. Rinse mouth out with water. Get immediate medical attention.
SECTION V - FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
