*  First Aid Measures  *
First Aid:TREATMENT IS SYMPTOMATIC & NO SPECIFIC ANTIDOTES ARE KNOWN.
    INGEST: RINSE MOUTH W/LRG AMTS OF H*2O. DO NOT INDUCE VOMIT. IF
    PATIENT IS CONSCIOUS GIVE MILK MIXED W/EGG WHITES/AS MUCH H*2O AS
    POSS. INHA L: REMOVE PERS FROM EXPOS AREA TO FRESHAIR & SUPPORT
    BRTHG. EYES: IMMED FLUSH EYES W/FRESH RUNNING H*2O FOR AT LEAST
*  Fire Fighting Measures  *
Extinguishing Media:DRY CHEM/CARBON DIOXIDE. FIRES INVOLVING SMALL AMTS
    OF COMBUST MAY BE SMOTHERED W/SUITABLE DRY CHEMS. USE H*2O (SUPDAT)
Fire Fighting Procedures:USE NIOSH APPRVD SCBA & FULL PROT EQUIP .
    AVOID ANY CNTCT W/ACID. CONCENTRATED VAPS OF SULFURIC ACID ARE
    EXTREMELY IRRIT TO RESP TRACT & MAY (SUPDAT)
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:NOT FLAM BUT HIGHLY REACTIVE & CAN CAUSE
    IGNITION BY CNTCT W/COMBUST MATLS. REACTS VIOLENTLY W/H*2O & ORGS.
    MAY REL EXPLOSIVE HYDROGEN GAS INSIDE (ING 9)
*  Accidental Release Measures  *
Spill Release Procedures:TREAT W/EXTREME CAUTION. ZONE OFF CONTAMD
    AREA. DIKE AREA W/SAND/EARTH. ACID MAY BE NEUT W/SODA ASH/LIME.
    NEUT/DILUTION OF STRONG SULFURIC ACID WILL ALWAYS BE ACCOMPANIED BY
    A VERY STRONG CHEM RXN W/R ELS OF HEAT & POSSIBLE SPLATTERING OF
Neutralizing Agent:SODA ASH OR LIME.
*Handling and Storage  *
Handling and Storage Precautions:MAKE SURE ALL PERSONNEL INVOLVED IN
    THE SPILL CLEANUP FOLLOW GOOD INDUSTRIAL HYGIENE PRACTICES. A SMALL
    SPILL CAN BE HANDLED ROUTINELY.
Other Precautions:USE ADEQ VENT/WEAR A NIOSH APPVD AIR-SUPPLIED RESP TO
    PVNT INHAL CNTCT. WEAR SUITABLE PROT CLTHG TO PVNT SKIN & EYE
    CNTCT. USE FOLLOWING PROCS: ANY LEAK OCCURRING IN PIPELINES/EQUIP
    MATL BUT USE CARE, AS H*2O APPLIED DIRECTLY TO THEIR ACID RSLTS IN
    EVOLUTION OF HEAT & CAUSES SPLATTERING. FIRE FIGHT PROC: CAUSE BR
    THG DIFFICULTY. PVNT HUMAN EXPOS TO FIRE, SMOKE, FUMES/PRODS OF
    COMBUSTION. EVACUATE NONESSENTIAL PERSONNEL FROM (ING 3)
