| Inhalation | Mists and vapours are corrosive and can cause sever irritation and damage to mouth, nose, lungs, and throat. Exposure symptoms are from coughing, sneezing, tickling sensations in nose and throat to larngealaedma, bronchitis,and pulmonary edema. Prolonged exposure can result in erosion and discoloration of teeth, chronic irritation of the nose eyes throat and respiratory tract. |
| Skin Contact / Absorption | Severe irritation and burns to all human tissue. Repeated skin contact may cause dermatitis. |
| Eye Contact | Contact with even small amounts can result in severe damage (corneal burns and/or necrosis and conjunctivitis) which may result in sight loss. Dilute solution of sulphuric acid may produce temporary effects from which recovery is possible. |
| Ingestion | Severe irritation or burning of the mouth, throat, and stomach walls. May be fatal. Prolonged exposure can result in erosion and discoloration of teeth, chronic irritation of the nose eyes throat and respiratory tract. |
| Exposure Limits |
ACGIH: 1mg/m3; 3mg/m3 NIOSH: TWA = 1mg/m3; IDLH = 15mg/m3 OSHA: TWA = 1mg/m3 |
| Inhalation | Remove victim to fresh air. Give artificial respiration only if breathing has stopped. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Seek immediate medical attention. |
| Skin Contact / Absorption | Remove contaminated clothing. Wash affected area with soap and water. Seek medical attention if irritation occurs or persists |
| Eye Contact | Flush immediately with water for at least 15 minutes. Forcibly hold eyelids apart to ensure complete irrigation of eye tissue. Seek immediate medical attention |
| Ingestion | Do not induce vomiting. If vomiting occurs, lean victim forward to prevent breathing in vomitus. Give large amounts of water. Do not give anything by mouth to an unconscious or convulsing person. Seek immediate medical attention. |
| Additional Information | Medical conditions that may be aggravated by exposure include asthma, bronchitis, emphysema, and other lung diseases, chronic nose, sinus or throat conditions. In the event of skin, eye contact, rapid and thorough flushing is essential. |

| Handling Procedures | Use proper equipment for lifting and transporting all containers. Use sensible industrial hygiene and housekeeping practices. Wash thoroughly after handling. Avoid all situations that could lead to harmful exposure. Ventilate area of leak or spill. Keep unnecessary and unprotected people away from area of spill. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment as specified in Section 8. Spills: Pick up and place in a suitable container for reclamation or disposal, using a method that does not generate dust. Do not flush caustic residues to the sewer. Residues from spills can be diluted with water, neutralized with dilute acid such as acetic, hydrochloric or sulfuric. Absorb neutralized caustic residue on clay. |
| Storage Requirements | Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place. Keep container tightly closed and away from incompatible materials. Keep in a tightly closed container, stored in a cool, dry, ventilated area. Protect against direct sunlight and physical damage. Isolate from incompatible substances.Avoid direct sunlight, high temperature and high humidity. Store in a cool and dry place. (Between 10 to 30 degree C & humidity of 45 to 85 % ). Do not mix OR use like stirrer used for lead acid batteries for mixing the electrolyte as this will neutralize the alkaline electrolyte. |
