SECTION 2: Hazards identification

EMERGENCY OVERVIEW Colorless to light yellow liquid that fumes in air. Highly corrosive! Contact can cause eye burns and permanent tissue damage. Fumes corrosive to eyes and respiratory tract. Highly toxic to fish and other water organisms.

Potential health effects

EYE: Low concentrations of mists or vapors can be irritating, causing redness. Concentrated mists, vapors or splashed liquid can cause severe irritation, burns and possibly permanent blindness. SKIN: Contact may produce severe irritation or corrosive skin damage, depending upon the length of contact and amount of acid. Effects range from dermatitis, redness, swelling, pain, and permanent scarring, to death. INHALATION: Inhalation of acid aerosols including mists, vapors, gas, fog, and other airborne forms of any particle size causes irritation of the upper respiratory tract with coughing and discomfort. High or prolonged inhalation exposure may lead to corrosion of mucus membranes with temporary lung irritation and cough, difficulty in breathing, shortness of breath and/or pulmonary edema (fluid accumulation in the lungs). Prolonged inhalation may also lead to dental erosion. Fatality may occur from gross overexposure. INGESTION: Ingestion may cause severe acid burns to the mouth, throat, esophagus, and stomach. Gross ingestion may cause death. CHRONIC (CANCER) INFORMATION: Not known to cause cancer. Not listed as carcinogen by IARC, NTP, OSHA or ACGIH. TERATOLOGY (BIRTH DEFECT) INFORMATION: No data available. REPRODUCTION INFORMATION: No data available.
