Ingred Name:CHROMIC ACID (SOLID OR SOLUTION), CRO3, CHROMIUM (VI)
OSHA PEL:0.1 MG/CUM (CRO3)
*  Hazards Identification  *
Routes of Entry: Inhalation:YES  Skin:NO  Ingestion:YES
Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:YES    IARC:YES  OSHA:NO
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:DRY/WET INGESTION OF LARGE QUANTITIES
    MAY BE FATAL. MAY CAUSE IRRITATION OF MUCOUS MEMBRANE/SKIN &
    DERMATITIS. CHRONIC EXPOSURE MAY LEAD TO PERFORATIONS OF NASAL
    SEPTUM.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:SEE INGREDIENTS.
Effects of Overexposure:IRRITATION, CHROMIC SORES, ASTHMA-LIKE
    SYMPTOMS.
*  First Aid Measures  *
    INHALATION: REMOVE TO FRESH AIR. INGESTION: DON'T INDUCE VOMITING.
    DON'T GIVE ANYTHING TO AN UNCONSCIOUS PERSON. DRINK PLENTY OF
    MILK/WATER/MILK O F MAGNESIA. IF VOMITING OCCURS SPONTANEOUSLY,
    KEEP AIRWAY CLEAR & GIVE MORE WATER. OBTAIN MEDICAL ATTENTION IN
    ALL CASES.
*  Fire Fighting Measures  *
Flash Point:NOT FLAMMABLE
Extinguishing Media:WATER. USE APPROPRIATE MEDIA FOR SURROUNDING FIRE.
Fire Fighting Procedures:USE SCBA.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:MAY IGNITE SAW DUST. UNDER EXTREME HEAT
    IT WILL DECOMPOSE TO CHROMIUM & OXYGEN (GAS). THE LATTER WILL THEN
    SUPPORT COMBUSTION.
*  Accidental Release Measures  *
Spill Release Procedures:CAREFULLY SHOVEL/SWEEP INTO METAL DRUMS.
    LIQUID SHOULD BE CONTAINED ABSORBED W/INERT ABSORBENT LIKE
    VERMICULITE, SAND/SOIL. RESIDUE SHOULD BE REDUCED AT PH2 LEVEL & A
    REDUCING AGENT SUCH AS SODIUM BIS ULFITE, FERROUS SULFATE. THEN
    NEUTRALIZED TO PH7.
*Handling and Storage  *
Handling and Storage Precautions:STORE IN DRY AREA. DON'T STORE NEAR
    ANY FLAMMABLE/COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS. CHROMIC ACID CONTACT CAN CAUSE
    RAPID DETERIORATION OF PAPER/WOOD & FIBER.
Other Precautions:ALL CONTAINERS SHOULD BE KEPT TIGHTLY SEALED TO AVOID
    MOISTURE PICKUP.
