    NITRIC ACID ARE EXPECTED TO BE LESS SEVERE THAN EXPOSURE TO
    CONCENTRATED NITRIC ACID. HOWEVER, SINCE NITRIC ACID IS IN SOLUTION
    NITRIC ACIDARE GIVEN. THIS SOLUTION MAY CAUSE IRRIT IF INHALED,
    INGESTED OR ABSORBED THRU SKIN. IT WILL CAUSE IRRIT IF IT COMES
    INTO CONTACT W/EYES. TRIVALENT CHROMIUM SALT S ARE CONSIDERED TO BE
    CARCIN. HOWEVER, THERE IS NOT ENOUGH INFO ABOUT CARCIN OF
    HEXAVALENT CHROMIUM SALTS SUCH AS CHROMIUM NITRATE. CARCINOMA OF
    LUNGS IS OF GREATEST CONCERN ASSOCIATED W/INDUSTRIAL ( EFTS OF
    OVEREXP)
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:NOT RELEVANT
Effects of Overexposure:HLTH HAZ: EXPOS TO CHROMIUM. PRLNGD EXPOS CAN
    CAUSE DMG TO LIVER & KIDNEYS & PROMOTE STOMACH PAINS, VOMIT, DIARR
    & GASTRIC CANCER. BLOOD CHANGES SUCH AS LEUKOCYTOSIS, LEUKOPENIA,
    MONOCYTOSIS & EOSINOP HILLA MAY ALSO OCCUR FOLLOWING EXPOS TO
    CHROMIUM CMPDS. CONCENTRATED NITRIC ACID MAY BE FATAL IF TOO MUCH
    IS INHALED/ABSORBED THRU SKIN. CONCENTRATED NITRIC ACID VAP/MIST IS
    IRRITANT OF EYES, MUC MEMB S & SKIN. IN CNTCT W/EYES, PRDCES SEV
    BURNS WHICH MAY RSLT IN PERM DMG & VISUAL IMPAIRMENT. ON SKIN,
    LIQ/CONCENTRATED VAP PRDCES IMMED, SEV & PENETRATING BURNS;
    CONCENTRATED SOLNS CAUSE DEEP ULCERS &  STAIN SKIN BRIGHT YELLOW OR

*  First Aid Measures  *
    UPPER & LOWER EYELIDS. SKIN: REMOVE CONTAMINATED CLOTHING THEN
    REUSE. IN HAL: MOVE TO FRESH AIR. INGEST: DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING.
    GET IMMED MEDICAL HELP. IF PATIENT IS CONSCIOUS, GIVE LARGE
    QUANTITIES OF WATER OR MILK. IF IRRITATION CONTINUES, GET MEDICAL
    ATTENTION IMMED.

Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:CONCENTRATED HNO*3 IS NOT COMBUST BUT IS
    STRONG OXIDIZER & ITS HEAT OF RXN W/REDUCING AGENTS/COMBUSTS MAY
    CAUSE IGNIT. CAN REACT W/METALS TO RELS FLAM HYDROGEN GAS.
    CONCENTRATED HNO*3 REACTS EXPLO W/C OMBUST ORGANIC OR READILY
    OXIDIZABLE MATLS SUCH AS ALCOHOL, WOOD, TURPENTINE, METAL POWDERS,
    HYDROGEN SULFIDE, ETC.
*  Accidental Release Measures  *
Spill Release Procedures:VENT AREA. DILUTE SPILL W/WATER & NEUTRALIZE
    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
    APPRVD RESP.
Neutralizing Agent:NEUTRALIZE W/SODA ASH, LIMESTONE, ETC.
*Handling and Storage  *
Handling and Storage Precautions:CONCENTRATED NITRIC ACID WILL ATTACK
    SOME FORMS OF PLASTICS, RUBBER & COATINGS. STORE AT ROOM TEMP. KEEP
    TIGHTLY SEALED WHEN NOT IN USE.
Other Precautions:WARNING: IRRITANT, OXIDIZER, CORROSIVE. AVOID
    INHALATION, INGESTION AND CONTACT WITH EYES AND SKIN. WASH
    CAREFULLY AFTER USE.
