Handling and Disposal
*
Spill Release Procedures: VENTILATE AREA. DILUTE SPILL W/WATER & NEUT
  W/SODA ASH, LIMESTONE ETC. WIPE UP & PUT INTO SEALED CNTNR FOR PROPER
  DISP. WASH SPILL SITE OFF W/WATER AFTER MATL PICK UP IS COMPLETE. WEAR CHEM
Neutralizing Agent: SODA ASH, LIMESTONE, ETC.
Waste Disposal Methods: CONTACT LOCAL HAZARDOUS OR CHEMICAL WASTE DISPOSAL
  AGENCY FOR REGULATIONS. DISPOSAL MUST BE I/A/W FEDERAL, STATE & LOCAL
  REGULATIONS (FP N).
Handling And Storage Precautions: CONCENTRATED NITRIC ACID WILL ATTACK SOME
  FORMS OF PLASTICS, RUBBER, & COATINGS. STORE @ ROOM TEMPERATURE. KEEP
  TIGHTLY SEALED WHEN NOT IN USE.
Other Precautions: IRRITANT, OXIDIZER AND CORROSIVE. AVOID INHALATION,
  INGESTION & CONTACT W/EYES & SKIN.
