If adverse effects occur, remove to uncontaminated area. Give artificial respiration if not breathing. If breathing is difficult, oxygen should be administered by qualified personnel. Get immediate medical attention. 



Wash skin with soap and water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Get immediate medical attention. Thoroughly clean and dry contaminated clothing before reuse. Destroy contaminated shoes. 



Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Then get immediate medical attention. 



Contact local poison control center or physician immediately. Never make an unconscious person vomit or drink fluids. Give large amounts of water or milk. Allow vomiting to occur. When vomiting occurs, keep head lower than hips to help prevent aspiration. If person is unconscious, turn head to side. Get medical attention immediately. 



For inhalation, consider oxygen. Avoid gastric lavage or emesis. 









See Section 9 for Flammability Properties 



Negligible fire hazard. Oxidizer. May ignite or explode on contact with combustible materials. 



regular dry chemical, soda ash, water Large fires: Flood with water. Apply water from a protected location or from a safe distance. 



Move container from fire area if it can be done without risk. Cool containers with water spray until well after the fire is out. Stay away from the ends of tanks. For fires in cargo or storage area: Cool containers with water from unmanned hose holder or monitor nozzles until well after fire is out. If this is impossible then take the following precautions: Keep unnecessary people away, isolate hazard area and deny entry. Let the fire burn. Flood with water. Cool containers with water spray until well after the fire is out. Apply water from a protected location or from a safe distance. Stay upwind and keep out of low areas. Evacuate if fire gets out of control or containers are directly exposed to fire. Evacuation radius: 800 meters (1/2 mile). 









Reduce vapors with water spray. Collect runoff for disposal as potential hazardous waste. 



Trap spilled material at bottom in deep water pockets, excavated holding areas or within sand bag barriers. Dike for later disposal. Absorb with sand or other non-combustible material. Add an alkaline material (lime, crushed limestone, sodium bicarbonate, or soda ash). 



Subject to California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986 (Proposition 65). Keep out of water supplies and sewers. Neutralize. 



Avoid contact with combustible materials. Do not touch spilled material. Stop leak if possible without personal risk. Reduce vapors with water spray. Do not get water inside container. Small spills: Flood with water. Large spills: Dike for later disposal. Keep unnecessary people away, isolate hazard area and deny entry. Ventilate closed spaces before entering. Notify Local Emergency Planning Committee and State Emergency Response Commission for release greater than or equal to RQ (U.S. SARA Section 304). If release occurs in the U.S. and is reportable under CERCLA Section 103, notify the National Response Center at (800)424-8802 (USA) or (202)426-2675 (USA). 









Subject to handling regulations: U.S. OSHA 29 CFR 1910.119. 



Store and handle in accordance with all current regulations and standards. Store in a tightly closed container. Refrigerate. Keep in the dark. Vent containers periodically (or when exposed to heat). Open containers carefully. NFPA 430 Code for the Storage of Liquid and Solid Oxidizing Materials. Notify State Emergency Response Commission for storage or use at amounts greater than or equal to the TPQ (U.S. EPA SARA Section 302). SARA Section 303 requires facilities storing a material with a TPQ to participate in local emergency response planning (U.S. EPA 40 CFR 355 Part B). Keep separated from incompatible substances.

eye disorders, respiratory disorders, skin disorders and allergies, 



NITRIC ACID: Inhalation of acidic substances may cause severe respiratory irritation with coughing, choking, and possibly yellowish burns of the mucous membranes Other initial symptoms may include dizziness, headache, nausea, and weakness Pulmonary edema may be immediate in the most severe exposures, but more likely will occur after a latent period of 5-72 hours The symptoms may include tightness in the chest, dyspnea, dizziness, frothy sputum, and cyanosis Physical findings may include hypotension, weak, rapid pulse, moist rales, and hemoconcentration In non-fatal cases, complete recovery may occur within a few days or weeks or, convalescence may be prolonged with frequent relapses and continued dyspnea and other signs and symptoms of pulmonary insufficiency In severe exposures, death due to anoxia may occur within a few hours after onset of the symptoms of pulmonary edema or following a relapse.



NITRIC ACID: Depending on the concentration and duration of exposure, repeated or prolonged exposure to an acidic substance may cause erosion of the teeth, inflammatory and ulcerative changes in the mouth, and possibly jaw necrosis Bronchial irritation with cough and frequent attacks of bronchial pneumonia may occur Gastrointestinal disturbances are also possible.



NITRIC ACID: Direct contact with liquid or vapor may cause severe pain, burns and possibly yellowish stains Burns may be deep with sharp edges and heal slowly with scar tissue formation Dilute solutions of nitric acid may produce mild irritation and harden the epidermis without destroying it Concentrated acid solutions applied to over 25% of the skin area in rats produced elevated methemoglobin and blood nitrate levels.



NITRIC ACID: Effects depend on the concentration and duration of exposure Repeated or prolonged contact with acidic substances may result in dermatitis or effects similar to acute exposure.



NITRIC ACID: Direct contact with acidic substances may cause pain and lacrimation, photophobia, and burns, possibly severe The degree of injury depends on the concentration and duration of contact In mild burns, the epithelium regenerates rapidly and the eye recovers completely In severe cases, the extent of injury may not be fully apparent for several weeks Ultimately, the whole cornea may become deeply vascularized and opaque resulting in blindness In the worst cases, the eye may be totally destroyed Concentrated nitric acid may impart a yellow color to the eye upon contact.



NITRIC ACID: Effects depend on the concentration and duration of exposure Repeated or prolonged exposure to acidic substances may cause conjunctivitis or effects as in acute exposure.



NITRIC ACID: Acidic substances may cause circumoral burns with yellow discoloration and corrosion of the mucous membranes of the mouth, throat and esophagus There may be immediate pain and difficulty or inability to swallow or speak Epiglottal edema may result in respiratory distress and possibly asphyxia Marked thirst, epigastric pain, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea may occur Depending on the degree of espohageal and gastric corrosion, the vomitus may contain fresh or dark precipitated blood and large shreds of mucosa Shock with marked hypotension, weak, rapid pulse, shallow respiration, and clammy skin may occur Circulatory collapse may ensue and if uncorrected, lead to renal failure In severe cases, gastric, and to a lesser degree, esophageal perforation and subsequent peritonitis may occur and be accompanied by fever and abdominal rigidity Esophageal, gastric anc pyloric stricture may occur within a few weeks, but may be delayed for months or even years Death may result within a short time from asphyxia, circulatory collapse or aspiration of even minute amounts Later death may be due to peritonitis, severe nephritis or pneumonia Coma and convulsions sometimes occur terminally.



NITRIC ACID: Depending on the concentration, repeated ingestion of acidic substances may result in inflammatory and ulcerative changes in the mucous membranes of the mouth and other effects as in acute ingestion Reproductive effects have been reported in animals.
