*  Exposure Controls/Personal Protection  *
Respiratory Protection:IF THE EXPOSURE LIMIT IS EXCEEDED, WEAR A NIOSH
    APPROVED SUPPLIED AIR, FULL-FACEPIECE RESPIRATOR, AIRLINED HOOD, OR
    FULL-FACEPIECE SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS. CANISTER-TYPE
    RESPIRATORS USING S ORBENTS ARE INEFFECTIVE.
Ventilation:A SYS OF LOC &/OR GEN EXHST IS REC TO KEEP EMPLOYEES EXPOS
    BELOW AIRBORNE EXPOS LIMS. LOC EXHST VENT IS GEN PREF BECAUSE IT
    CAN CTL EMISSIONS OF (OTHER INFO)
    FACESHIELD .
Other Protective Equipment:ANSI APPROVED EMERGENCY EYEWASH AND DELUGE
    SHOWER . WEAR IMPERVIOUS PROTECTIVE CLOTHING, INCLUDING BOOTS, LAB
    COAT, APRON OR COVERALLS, AS APPROPRIATE, TO PREVENT SKIN CONTACT.
Work Hygienic Practices:WASH THOROUGHLY AFTER HANDLING. REMOVE AND WASH
    CONTAMINATED CLOTHING PROMPTLY.

Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:NITRIC ACID IS EXTREMELY HAZARDOUS; IT
    IS CORROSIVE, REACTIVE, AN OXIDIZER, & A POISON. ACUTE: INHALATION:
    CORROSIVE! MAY CAUSE IRRITATION OF NOSE, THROAT, & RESPIRATORY
    TRACT INCLUDING COUGHING & CHO KING. HIGHER
    CONCENTRATIONS/PROLONGED EXPOSURE TO VAPORS OF NITRIC ACID MAY LEAD
    TO PNEUMONIA/PULMONARY EDEMA. INGESTION: CORROSIVE! MAY CAUSE
    IMMEDIATE PAIN & BURNS OF MOUTH, THROAT, ESOPHAGUS & GAST
    ROINTESTINAL TRACT. SKIN: CORROSIVE! MAY CAUSE REDNESS, PAIN, &
    SEVERE SKIN BURNS. EYES: CORROSIVE! VAPORS ARE IRRITATING & MAY
    CAUSE DAMAGE TO EYES. CONTACT MAY CAUSE SEVERE BURNS & PERMANENT
    EYE DAM AGE. (EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE)
Effects of Overexposure:HEALTH HAZARDS: CHRONIC: LONG-TERM EXPOSURE TO
    CONCENTRATED VAPORS MAY CAUSE EROSION OF TEETH. LONG-TERM EXPOSURES
    SELDOM OCCUR DUE TO THE CORROSIVE PROPERTIES OF THE ACID.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:PERSONS WITH PRE-EXISTING SKIN
    DISORDERS, EYE DISEASE, OR CARDIOPULMONARY DISEASES MAY BE MORE
    SUSCEPTIBLE TO THE EFFECTS OF THIS SUBSTANCE.
*  First Aid Measures  *
First Aid:IMMEDIATE FIRST AID TREATMENT REDUCES HEALTH EFFECTS OF THIS
    SUBSTANCE. INHAL: REMOVE TO FRESH AIR. IF NOT BREATHING, GIVE
    ARTIFICIAL RESPIRATION. IF BREATHING IS DIFFICULT, GIVE OXYGEN.
    CALL MD. INGE ST: DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING! GIVE LARGE QUANTITIES OF
    WATER/MILK IF AVAILABLE. NEVER GIVE ANYTHING BY MOUTH TO AN
    UNCONSCIOUS PERSON. GET MEDICAL ATTENTION IMMED. SKIN: IMMED FLUSH
    CONTAMINATED CLOTHING & SHOES. WASH CLOTHING BEFORE REUSE. CALL MD.
    LIFTING LOWER & UPPER EYELIDS OCCA SIONALLY. GET MEDICAL ATTENTION
    IMMED.
*  Fire Fighting Measures  *
Extinguishing Media:WATER OR WATER SPRAY.
Fire Fighting Procedures:WEAR NIOSH APPROVED SCBA AND FULL PROTECTIVE
    EQUIPMENT . INCREASES THE FLAMMABILITY OF COMBUSTIBLE, ORGANIC AND
    READILY OXIDIZABLE MATERIALS.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:NOT COMBUST, BUT SUBSTANCE IS A STRONG
    OXIDIZER & ITS HEAT OF RXN W/REDUCING AGENTS/COMBUSTIBLES MAY CAUSE
    IGNIT. CAN REACT W/METALS TO RELEASE FLAMM HYDROGEN GAS. MAY REACT
    EXPLOSIVELY W/COMBUST ORG/ READILY OXIDIZABLE MATLS SUCH AS
