Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:ACUTE: INHALATION: CORROSIVE! 
    INHALATION OF VAPORS CAN CAUSE COUGHING, CHOKING, INFLAMMATION OF
    THE NOSE, THROAT, AND UPPER RESPIRATORY TRACT, AND IN SEVERE CASES,
    PULMONARY EDEMA, CIRCULATORY FAILUR E AND DEATH.  INGESTION:
    CORROSIVE!SWALLOWING HYDROCHLORIC ACID CAN CAUSE IMMEDIATE PAIN
    AND BURNS OF THE MOUTH, THROAT, ESOPHAGUS AND GASTROINTESTINAL
    TRACT.  MAY CAUSE NAUSEA, VOMITING AND DIARRHE A, AND IN SEVERE
    CASES, DEATH.  SKIN: CORROSIVE!  CAN CAUSE REDNESS, PAIN, AND
    SEVERE SKIN BURNS.CONCENTRATED SOLUTIONS CAUSE DEEP ULCERS AND
    DISCOLOR SKIN.  (EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE)
Effects of Overexposure:HEALTH HAZARDS: EYES: CORROSIVE!  VAPORS ARE
    IRRITATING AND MAY CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE EYES.  CONTACT MAY CAUSE
    SEVERE BURNS AND PERMANENT EYE DAMAGE.  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 PREEXISTING SKIN
    DISORDERS OR EYE DISEASE MAY BE MORE SUSCEPTIBLE TO THE EFFECTS OF
    THIS SUBSTANCE.
*  First Aid Measures  *
First Aid:INHAL: REMOVE TO FRESH AIR.  IF NOT BREATHING, GIVE
    ARTIFICIAL RESPIRATION.  IF BREATHING IS DIFFICULT, GIVE OXYGEN. 
    GET MEDICAL ATTENTION IMMED.  INGEST: DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING!  GIVE
    LARGE QUANTITI ES OF WATER/MILK IF AVAILABLE.  NEVER GIVE ANYTHING
    BY MOUTH TO AN UNCONSCIOUS PERSON.GET MEDICAL ATTENTION IMMED. 
    REMOVING CONTAM  CLOTHING & SHOES.WASH CLOTHING BEFORE REUSE. 
    THORO CLEAN SHOES BEFORE REUSE. GET MEDICAL ATTENTION IMMED.  EYES:
    LOWER & UPPER EYELIDS  OCCASIONALLY.  GET MEDICAL ATTN IMMED.
*  Fire Fighting Measures  *
Extinguishing Media:WATER OR WATER SPRAY.  NEUTRALIZE WITH SODA ASH OR
    SLAKED LIME.
Fire Fighting Procedures:WEAR NIOSH APPROVED SCBA AND FULL PROTECTIVE
    EQUIPMENT .  STRUCTURAL FIREFIGHTER'S PROTECTIVE CLOTHING IS
    INEFFECTIVE FOR FIRES INVOLVING HYDROCHLORID ACID.STAY AWAY FROM
    ENDS OF TANKS.  COOL  TANKS WITH WATER SPRAY UNTIL WELL AFTER FIRE
    IS OUT.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:NOT CONSIDERED TO BE A FIRE HAZARD.  MAY
    REACT WITH METALS OR HEAT TO RELEASE FLAMMABLE HYDROGEN GAS.  NOT
    CONSIDERED TO BE AN EXPLOSION HAZARD.
*  Accidental Release Measures  *
Spill Release Procedures:VENT AREA OF LEAK/SPILL.  WEAR APPROP PERS
    PROT EQUIP.  ISOLATE HAZ AREA.  KEEP UNNEC & UNPROT PERS FROM
    ENTERING.  CONTAIN & RECOVER LIQ WHEN POSS.  NEUTRALIZE W/ALKALINE
    MATL (SODA ASH, LIME), THEN  ABSORB W/INERT MATL (E.G.,
    VERMICULITE, DRY SAND, EARTH), & PLACE IN CHEM WASTE CONTR.  DO NOT
    USE COMBUST MATLS, SUCH AS SAWDUST.  DO NOT FLUSH TO SEWER!  (SUP

*Handling and Storage  *
Handling and Storage Precautions:STORE IN COOL, DRY, VENTD AREA W/ACID
    RESIST FLOORS & GOOD DRAINAGE.  PROTECT FROM PHYSICAL DMG.KEEP
    OUT OF DIRECT SUNLIGHT & AWAY FROM HEAT, WATER, & INCOMPATIBLE
    MATLS.  DO NOT WASH OUT CONTR & US E IT FOR OTHER PURPOSES.  WHEN
    DILUTING, ACID SHOULD ALWAYS BE ADDED SLOWLY TO WATER & IN SML
    AMTS.
Other Precautions:NEVER USE HOT WATER & NEVER ADD WATER TO ACID.  WATER
    ADDED TO ACID CAN CAUSE UNCONTROLLED BOILING & SPLASHING.  WHEN
    OPENING METAL CONTRS, USE NON-SPKG TOOLS BECAUSE OF POSS OF
    HYDROGEN GAS BEING PRE SENT.  CONTRS MAY BE HAZ WHEN EMPTY SINCE
    THEY RETAIN PROD RESIDUES (VAPS, LIQ);  OBSERVE ALL WARNIN GS &
    PREC LISTED.
