Health hazards

Acute and Chronic) Acute and chronic health hazards are difficult to accurately assess for mixtures. In general see the first aid section for acute effects and long term effects would have to be derived from these immediate results. Specific chronic effects can be studied from the individual hazardous chemicals as indicated under Section Il as the best guess without extensive laboratory studies. Carcinogenicity: NTP: None Known IARC Monographs: None Known

Medical Conditions Generally Aggravated by Exposure

A knowledge of available toxicology information and of the physical properties of the material suggests that exposure is unlikely to aggravate existing medical conditions. However, due to the widely varying uses and personal exposures possible, an individual will have to evaluate his/her particular situation. This is an organic acid mild irritant. Emergency and First Aid Procedures: 3 EYES: Flush eyes with water for at least 15 minutes. Seek medical attention immediately. SKIN: Wash with soap and water, apply lotion if irritation continues. INHALATION: Remove to fresh air; give oxygen if needed, or artificial respiration to maintain breathing. Get a Doctor if indicated. INGESTION: Wash mouth and other contacted parts with water. Never give any substance to an unconscious person. If conscious DO NOT induce vomiting. Give one to two glasses of water, milk of magnesia or milk to help neutralize the Alkali. CALL A DOCTOR. DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING IF: NA Steps To Be Taken In Case Material Is Released Or Spilled: Large spills can be sucked up with a vacuum truck for further treatment. Small spills should be neutralized with dilute inorganic acids like nitric, sulfuric, phosphoric, or hydrochloric acids. Phosphoric acid is preferred. Shovel all spilled and neutralized material in place into suitable container for disposal in accordance with Federal, State, and local laws. Waste Disposal Method: Since Federal, State, and Local laws vary greatly from situation to situation, and since these materials are mixtures, no one preferred waste disposal method can be given. One however must keep in mind that all of these type products are ultimately destined to go "down the drain" since they are cleaning compounds of one sort or another. Generally, in highly diluted or completely neutralized state they present no particular environmental hazard, they can be treated as ordinary waste, which is piped to a sanitary sewer for proper waste treatment. The effluent from this product should not be discharged into any river, lake, stream, creek, or water shed that might contaminate drinking water unless the discharge has been specifically permitted by the proper authority as the DER, DEP, etc. Precautions to Be Taken in Handling and Storage: Do not freeze product. Do not subject product to excessive heat. KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN. Do not contaminate with food stuffs. Do not mix with other chemicals except under direct supervision of a chemist or technically trained individual. Mix only with water. During storage and transportation of the product, keep product dry at all times, and do not exceed container integrity (improperly doubling or tripling decking of palletized goods). If sensitivity or aggravations of allergy, or unanticipated personal health problems become evident, stop use and see your supervisor. Keep in mind that often the use solution and the concentrate will have different safety precautions. 4 Other Precautions: Wear safety glasses or goggles. Use PVC or rubber coated gloves. If required to meet TLV requirements, wear self contained breathing apparatus. Use chemical apron. Have present eye wash and safety shower. Store in a cool dry area. Avoid temperature extremes. Launder all clothing before reuse. Discard all contaminated gloves, boots, and other clothing that can not be properly cleaned. Respiratory Protection (Specific Type): Usually not needed. Ventilation: Local Exhaust: NA Recommended: NA Special: NA Mechanical (General): | Usually sufficient Other: NA Protective Gloves: PVC-coated, rubber or similar type is recommended for repeated contact with use solution, or direct contact with concentrate. Eye Protection: Safety glasses are always recommended, as are eye wash fountains in all processing areas. Face Shield recommended. Other Protective Clothing or Equipment: Rubber apron, long sleeve shirts and pants. Launder dirty uniforms regularly. Wash daily to maintain good cleanliness when in contact with various cleaning or water treating chemicals. Work/Hygienic Practices: Non-slip work shoes with an apron are good practices to follow. --- START CLEAN --- STAY CLEAN --- END CLEAN = WORK SAFELY 5 Comments: Section Il Hazardous Material Section Percentage Key. If no hazardous chemicals are present then this section is not applicable.
