Section 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Toxic if swallowed. Very toxic by inhalation. Irritating to respiratory system and skin. Risk of serious damage to eyes. May cause sensitization by skin contact. May cause cancer by inhalation.
Toxic : danger of serious damage to health by prolonged exposure through inhalation.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
Causes eye irritation and possible burns. May cause chemical conjunctivitis and corneal damage.
Skin:
Causes skin irritation. May cause skin sensitization, an allergic reaction, which becomes evident upon re-exposure to this material.
Concentrated nitric acid dyes human skin yellow on contact.
Ingestion:
Causes gastrointestinal tract irritation.
Inhalation:
Causes respiratory tract irritation.
Chronic:
Exposure to high concentrations of nitric acid vapor may cause pneuomonitis and pulmonary edema which may be fatal. Symptoms may or may not be delayed. Continued exposure to the vapor & mist of nitric acid may result in a chronic bronchitis, & more severe exposure results in a chemical pneumonitis. The vapor & mists of nitric acid may erode the teeth, particularly affecting the canines & incisors.
Chronic beryllium disease, an immunologically mediated response occurring after a latent period ranging from a few weeks to many years, causes difficult breathing on exertion, weight loss, nonproductive cough, fatigue, chest pain, anorexia, and weakness.

Section 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES
Eyes: Get medical aid immediately. Do NOT allow victim to rub eyes or keep eyes closed. Extensive irrigation with water is required (at least 30 minutes).
Skin:
Get medical aid immediately. Immediately flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Wash clothing before reuse. Destroy contaminated shoes.
Ingestion:
Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Get medical aid immediately. Do NOT induce vomiting. If conscious and alert, rinse mouth and drink 2-4 cupfuls of milk or water.
Inhalation:
Get medical aid immediately. Remove from exposure and move to fresh air immediately. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Do NOT use mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. If breathing has ceased apply artificial respiration using oxygen and a suitable mechanical device such as a bag and a mask.
Notes to Physician:

Notes to Physician:
Section 5 - FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
General Information:
As in any fire, wear a self-contained breathing apparatus in pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent), and full protective gear. During a fire, irritating and highly toxic gases may be generated by thermal decomposition or combustion. May react with metal surfaces to form flammable and explosive hydrogen gas.
Approach fire from upwind to avoid hazardous vapors and toxic decomposition products. Concentrated nitric acid is a strong oxidizer and contact with other material may cause fire.
Extinguishing Media:
Use extinguishing media most appropriate for the surrounding fire.

Section 6 - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
General Information: Use proper personal protective equipment as indicated in Section 8.
Spills/Leaks:
Avoid runoff into storm sewers and ditches which lead to waterways.
Clean up spills immediately, observing precautions in the Protective Equipment section. Absorb spill using an absorbent, non-combustible material such as earth, sand, or vermiculite. Do not use combustible materials such as sawdust. Provide ventilation.

Section 7 - HANDLING and STORAGE
Handling:
Wash thoroughly after handling. Remove contaminated clothing and wash before reuse. Use with adequate ventilation. Discard contaminated shoes. Avoid breathing vapor or mist. Do not use with metal spatula or other metal items. Do not get in eyes. Avoid contact with skin and clothing.
Storage:
Keep container closed when not in use. Keep away from metals. Store away from alkalies.
