Potential Health Effects

----------------------------------

Inhalation:
Inhalation of concentrated vapors may cause serious damage to the
lining of the nose, throat, and lungs. Breathing difficulties may
occur. Neither odor nor degree of irritation are adequate to indicate
vapor concentration.
Ingestion:
Swallowing can cause severe injury leading to death. Symptoms include
sore throat, vomiting, and diarrhea. Ingestion of as little as 1.0 ml
has resulted in perforation of the esophagus.
Skin Contact:
Contact with concentrated solution may cause serious damage to the
skin. Effects may include redness, pain, skin burns. High vapor
concentrations may cause skin sensitization.
Eye Contact:
Eye contact with concentrated solutions may cause severe eye damage
followed by loss of sight. Exposure to vapor may cause intense watering
and irritation to eyes.
Chronic Exposure:
Repeated or prolonged exposures may cause darkening of the skin,
erosion of exposed front teeth, and chronic inflammation of the nose,
throat, and bronchial tubes.
Aggravation of Pre-existing Conditions:
Persons with pre-existing skin disorders or eye problems, or impaired
respiratory function may be more susceptible to the effects of the
substance.

Section 4: First Aid Measures

Inhalation:
Remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If
breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Call a physician.
Ingestion:
DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING! Give large quantities of water or milk if
available. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Get
medical attention immediately.
Skin Contact:
In case of contact, immediately flush skin with plenty of water for at
least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Wash
clothing before reuse. Call a physician.
Eye Contact:
Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes,
lifting lower and upper eyelids occasionally. Get medical attention
immediately.

Section 5: Fire and Explosion Data

Fire:
Flash point: 40C (104F) CC
Autoignition temperature: 427C (801F)
Flammable limits in air % by volume:
lel: 4.0; uel: 16.0
Flammable Liquid and Vapor!
Explosion:
Above flash point, vapor-air mixtures are explosive within flammable
limits noted above. Vapors can flow along surfaces to distant ignition
source and flash back. Contact with strong oxidizers may cause fire.
Reacts with most metals to produce hydrogen gas, which can form an
explosive mixture with air.
Fire Extinguishing Media:
Water, dry chemical, foam or carbon dioxide. Water spray may be used to
keep fire exposed containers cool.
Special Information:
In the event of a fire, wear full protective clothing and NIOSH-
approved self-contained breathing apparatus with full facepiece
operated in the pressure demand or other positive pressure mode. Water
may be used to flush spills away from exposures and to dilute spills to
non-flammable mixtures. Water diluted acid can react with metals to
form hydrogen gas.

Section 6: Accidental Release Measures

Ventilate area of leak or spill. Remove all sources of ignition. Wear

appropriate personal protective equipment as specified in Section 8.
Isolate hazard area. Keep unnecessary and unprotected personnel from
entering. Use water spray to dilute spill to a nonflammable mixture.

Contain and recover liquid when possible. Collect liquid in an

appropriate container or absorb with an inert material (e. g.,
vermiculite, dry sand, earth), and place in a chemical waste container.
Use non-sparking tools and equipment. Do not use combustible materials,
such as saw dust. Do not flush to sewer! US Regulations (CERCLA)
require reporting spills and releases to soil, water and air in excess
of reportable quantities. The toll free number for the US Coast Guard
National Response Center is (800) 424-8802.

J. T. Baker NEUTRASORB® acid neutralizers are recommended for spills of

this product.

Section 7: Handling and Storage

Protect against physical damage. Store in a cool, dry well-ventilated

location, away from any area where the fire hazard may be acute.
Outside or detached storage is preferred. Separate from incompatibles.
Containers should be bonded and grounded for transfers to avoid static
sparks. Storage and use areas should be No Smoking areas. Use non-
sparking type tools and equipment, including explosion proof
ventilation. Protect from freezing. Store above 17C (63F). Containers
of this material may be hazardous when empty since they retain product
residues (vapors, liquid); observe all warnings and precautions listed
for the product.

Section 8: Exposure Controls/Personal Protection

Airborne Exposure Limits:

-OSHA Permissible Exposure Limit (PEL):
10 ppm (TWA).
-ACGIH Threshold Limit Value (TLV):
10 ppm (TWA); 15 ppm (STEL).
Ventilation System:
A system of local and/or general exhaust is recommended to keep
employee exposures below the Airborne Exposure Limits. Local exhaust
ventilation is generally preferred because it can control the emissions
of the contaminant at its source, preventing dispersion of it into the
general work area. Please refer to the ACGIH document, Industrial
Ventilation, A Manual of Recommended Practices, most recent edition,
for details.
Personal Respirators (NIOSH Approved):
If the exposure limit is exceeded, a full facepiece respirator with
organic vapor cartridge may be worn up to 50 times the exposure limit
or the maximum use concentration specified by the appropriate
regulatory agency or respirator supplier, whichever is lowest. For
emergencies or instances where the exposure levels are not known, use a
full-facepiece positive-pressure, air-supplied respirator. WARNING: Air
purifying respirators do not protect workers in oxygen-deficient

atmospheres.
Skin Protection:
Wear impervious protective clothing, including boots, gloves, lab coat,
apron or coveralls, as appropriate, to prevent skin contact.
Eye Protection:
Use chemical safety goggles and/or a full face shield where splashing
is possible. Maintain eye wash fountain and quick-drench facilities in
work area

biodegrade. When released into the water, this material is expected to
have a half-life between 1 and 10 days. Standard dilution BOD5/TOD =
58% When released into the soil, this material is expected to readily
biodegrade. This material is not expected to significantly
bioaccumulate. This material has an estimated bioconcentration factor
(BCF) of less than 100.
Environmental Toxicity:
This material is expected to be slightly toxic to aquatic life. The
LC50/96-hour values for fish are between 10 and 100 mg/l.

For glacial acetic acid:
