SECTION 2: Hazards identification

OSHA Emergency Overview: Danger! This is a Clear, Odorless, Colorless, syrupy liquid with no odor that causes Eye and Skin Burns. Extremely corrosive. Causes severe burns and eye damage. Mist: Causes respiratory irritation. Harmful if inhaled. Harmful or fatal if swallowed. Reacts violently with water. Concentrated Sulfuric Acid will react with many organic materials and may cause fire due to the heat of the reaction. Not flammable, but reacts with most metals to form explosive/flammable hydrogen gas. Read the entire SDS for a more thorough evaluation of the hazards.

Potential health effects

Hazardous in case of skin contact, of eye contact, of ingestion, of inhalation

Principle Routes of Exposure

Entry Skin contact, Inhalation, Eye contact Target Organs: skin, respiratory system, eyes Exposure Limits: Limits Agency Type 1 mg/m3 (TWA) 8 hours ACGIH TLV 3 mg/m (STEL) 15 minutes ACGIH TLV 1 mg/m3 (TWA) 8 hours OSHA PEL 1 mg/m3 (TWA) 10 hours NIOSH REL Acute Exposure Symptoms Inhalation (breathing): Causes respiratory irritation and at high concentrations may cause severe injury, burns, or death. Effects of exposure may be delayed. Eye Contact: Immediate pain, severe burns and corneal damage, which may result in permanent blindness. Skin Contact: Causes burns, and brownish or yellow stains. Concentrated solutions may cause second or third degree burns with severe necrosis. Prolonged and repeated exposure to dilute solutions may cause irritation, redness, pain and drying and cracking of the skin. Ingestion (swallowing): Causes severe irritation or burns of the mouth, throat, and esophagus.

Medical Conditions Generally Aggravated by Exposure

Skin irritation may be aggravated in individuals with existing skin lesions. Breathing of vapors or sprays (mists) may aggravate acute or chronic asthma and chronic pulmonary disease such as emphysema and bronchitis. Chronic Exposure Symptoms: Carcinogenicity Data: Strong inorganic acid mists containing sulfuric acid (Occupational exposures) : Proven (Human, Group 1, IARC) ; Suspected (Human Group A2, ACGIH) ; Group 3 (NTP) ; Classification not applicable to sulfuric acid and sulfuric acid solutions.
