EMERGENCY RESPONSE INFORMATION

FIRST AID PROCEDURES:
This product is neutral to mildly accidic. Can cause eye burns. Immediately flush eyes with water for at least 15 minutes and get medical attention.

May cause mild skin irritation. Wash skin surface with mild soap and water.

FIRE FIGHTING INFORMATION:
Use self-contained breathing apparatus.

As with any acidic product, prolonged contact with metals may produce flammable hydrogen gas.

Use extinguishing media appropriate for surrounding fire.

SPILL OR LEAK HANDLING INFORMATION:
Personal Protection: must be appropriate to handle a spill. See Personal Protection Measures Section.

Flush spill area with plenty of water.

Procedures: Keep spectators away. Treat as an acid material. Contain spill with inert material (sand, earth, absorbable material). Transfer diking material to suitable container for recovery or disposal. Material may be diluted and rinsed down a sanitary sewer system to a municipal wastewater plant. If quantities in excess of 500 gallons are rinsed to a sewer, the district should be notified of possible pH upset to the wastewater plant due to flocculation or deflocculation of activated sludge.

HAZARD INFORMATION

HEALTH EFFECTS:
The formulation may be mildly irritating to skin and eyes and is not known to be a skin sensitizer. Toxic effects described in animals from exposure by inhalation or ingestion include corrosion of mucosal surfaces, kidney effects, liver effects, and increased oxylate production. Tests of individual constituents in bacterial or mammalian cell cultures gave no mutagenic activity.

Human health effects of overexposure by skin or eye contact may initially include: skin irritation with some discomfort or rash, or eye irritation with discomfort, tearing, or blurring of vision. Higher exposures may lead to eye corrosion with corneal or conjunctival ulceration.

Human health effects of over exposure by inhalation may include irritation or corrosion of mucous membranes with upper and lower respirator irritation. Human health effects of overexposure by ingestion may include corrosion of mucous membranes with stomach discomfort, nausea, and prostration. Significant skin permeation after contact appears unlikely. There are no reports of human sensitization.
