Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:IRRITANT. HAZARDS FOR DILUTE NITRIC
    ACID ARE EXPECTED TO BE LESS SEVERE THAN EXPOSURE TO CONCENTRATED
    NITRIC ACID. CONCENTRATED NITRIC ACID- INHALATION: FATAL/EDEMA OF
    LARYNX & BRONCHI/CHEMICAL PNEUMO NITIS/PULMONARY EDEMA. EYE:
    PERMANENT DAMAGE/VISUAL IMPAIRMENT. SKIN: HARMFUL ABSORPTION.
    INGESTION: TEETH EROSION.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:NONE
Effects of Overexposure:CONCENTRATED NITRIC ACID- INHALATION: MUCOUS
    MEMBRANE IRRITATION/COUGHING/WHEEZING/LARYNGITIS/BREATH
    SHORTNESS/HEADACHE/NAUSEA/VOMITING/SPASM/INFLAMMATION OF
    LARYNX/BRONCHI. EYE: BURNS/IRRITATION. SKI N: BURNS/DEEP
    ULCER/STAIN OF BRIGHT YELLOW OR YELLOWISH BROWN COLOR. INGESTION:
    BURNS TO MOUTH/ESOPHAGUS & GI TRACT.
*  First Aid Measures  *
    MINS. WASH CLOTHING THOROUGHLY BEFORE REUSE. INHALATION: REMOVE TO
    FRESH  AIR. INGESTION: DON'T INDUCE VOMITING. SEND TO HOSPITAL.
    ONLY IF PATIENT CONSCIOUS, GIVE LARGE QUANTITIES OF WATER OR MILK.
    OBTAIN MEDICAL ATTENTION IN ALL CASES.
*  Fire Fighting Measures  *
Flash Point:N/ R
Extinguishing Media:APPROPRIATE TO SURROUNDING FIRE CONDITIONS.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:CONCENTRATED NITRIC ACID REACTS
    EXPLOSIVELY W/INCOMPATIBLES. STRONG BASES CAUSE VIOLENT
    SPLATTERING. HIGH TEMPS CAUSE CONTAINERS TO BURST.
*  Accidental Release Measures  *
Spill Release Procedures:VENTILATE AREA. DILUTE SPILL W/WATER &
    NEUTRALIZE W/SODA ASH, LIMESTONE. WIPE UP & PUT INTO A SEALED
    CONTAINER FOR PROPER DISPOSAL. WASH SPILL SITE OFF W/WATER AFTER
    MATERIAL PICK UP IS COMPLETE. WEARPROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT.
Neutralizing Agent:SODA ASH, LIMESTONE
*Handling and Storage  *
Handling and Storage Precautions:STORE AT ROOM TEMPERATURE. KEEP
