Health hazards

danger of cumulative effects, causes burns, harmful in contact with skin, and if swallowed, respiratory tract irritant. Note: in this context, Hydrofluoric acid includes ammonium bifluoride. Hydrofluoric acid burns are a unique clinical entity. Dilute solutions deeply penetrate before dissociating, thus causing delayed injury and symptoms. Burns to the fingers and nail beds may leave the overlying nails intact. Solutions of less than 7% may take several hours before onset of symptoms, resulting in delayed presentation, deeper penetration of the undissociated HF acid, and a more severe burn. http://www.safeworkaustralia.gov.au/sites/swa/about/publications/pages/gm1989hydrogenfluoride

Potential health effects

Inhalation: Short Term Exposure: Available data indicates that this product is an inhalation irritant. Symptoms may include headache, irritation of nose and throat and increased secretion of mucous in the nose and throat. Other symptoms may also become evident, but they should disappear after exposure has ceased. If liquid enters nasal passages, it will cause pain and burn nasal membranes. Patients with inhalation burns may develop acute pulmonary oedema. Long Term Exposure: No data for health effects associated with long term inhalation. Skin Contact: Short Term Exposure: Hydrofluoric acid solutions of less than 7% may take several hours before onset of symptoms, resulting in delayed presentation, deeper penetration of the undissociated HF acid, and a more severe burn. Long Term Exposure: No data for health effects associated with long term skin exposure. Eye Contact: Short Term Exposure: This product is corrosive to eyes. It will cause severe pain, and corrosion of the eye and surrounding facial tissues. Unless exposure is quickly treated, permanent blindness and facial scarring is likely. Long Term Exposure: No data for health effects associated with long term eye exposure. Ingestion: Short Term Exposure: Mild poisoning causes nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea and abdominal pain. Blood may be vomited. Severe poisoning causes shock, blurred vision, muscle spasm, shallow breathing and convulsions. Kidney failure may occur later. Long Term Exposure: Intake of more than 6 mg of fluorine per day may result in fluorosis, bone and joint damage. Hypocalcemia and hypomagnesemia can occur from absorption of fluoride ion into blood stream. Carcinogen Status: SWA: No significant ingredient is classified as carcinogenic by SWA. NTP: Sulfuric Acid is classified by NTP as reasonably anticipated to be carcinogenic to humans. See the NTP website for further details.
