Refer to “section 3: composition/ information on ingredient”.
Nitric acid 2 ppm (TWA)
Hydrogen Fluoride 3 ppm (Peak)
INGREDIENT DATA
NITRIC ACID:
Odor threshold value: 0.27 ppm (detection)
Note: Detector tube for nitric acid, measuring in excess of 5 ppm,
are available commercially.
The TLV-TWA is protective against corrosion of the skin, tissue
and other membranes, against irritation to the eyes and mucous
membranes, and against acute pulmonary edema or chronic
obstructive lung disease.
HYDROFLUORIC ACID:
Odor threshold of 0.04 to 0.13 ppm
Note: Detector tube for hydrogen fluoride, measuring in excess of
1.5 ppm, are available commercially. Long-term measurements
(8hrs) may be conducted to detect concentrations exceeding
0.25ppm.
A severe respiratory irritation both as the gas in solution. This
limits is thought to minimize the potential for occurrence of dental (d)
and osteofluorosis as well as to prevent primary irritation to the
eye, nose, throat and lower respiratory system. Burning of the eyes (f)
and nose and redness of the skin have been note at concentration
above 3 ppm.
(d) Contact lens may pose a special hazard; soft contact lenses may
absorb and concentrate irritant. A written policy document,
describing the wearing of lens or restrictions on use, should be
created for each workplace or task. This should include a review
of lens absorption an adsorption for the class of chemicals in use
and an account for injury experience. Medical and first-aid
personal should be trained in their removal and suitable equipment
should be readily available. In the event of chemical exposure,
begin eye irritation immediately and remove contact lens as soon
as practicable. Lens should be removed at the first signs of eye
redness or irritation – lens should be removed in a clean
environment only after workers have washed hand thoroughly.
HANDS/ FEET

gloves or Elbow length PVC gloves.
(b) Rubber boot or PVC safety gumboots.
OTHER

General exhaust is adequate under normal operation conditions. Local
exhaust ventilation may be required in specific circumstances. If risk of
overexposure exists, wear approved respirator. Correct fit is essential to
obtain adequate protection. Provide adequate ventilation in warehouse

Section 11: TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION

POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS
ACUTE HEALTH EFFECTS
(1) SWALLOWED
The material extremely corrosive to the gastro-intestinal tract and
contact may cause rapid tissue destruction with sever burns and
may be fatal if swallowed unless immediately treatment is applied.
(2) EYE
Eye contact is extremely painful and may cause rapid corneal
damage.
The material is highly corrosive to the eyes and contact may cause
rapid tissue destructive and is capable of causing severe damage
with loss of sight.
The material may produce moderate eye irritation leading to
inflammation.
Repeated or prolonged exposure to irritant may produce
conjunctivitis.
The vapor may produce pronounced discomfort of the eyes when
present at higher concentrations and this generally gives warning
of excessive exposure and the need for control measures to ensure
safe working conditions.
(3) SKIN
The material is highly corrosive to the skin and may rapidly cause
severe burns, ulceration.
Fluorides are easily absorbed through the skin end cause death of
soft tissue and erode bone. Healing is delayed and death of tissue Unless otherwise specified data extracted from RTECS-Register of
may continue to spread beneath skin.
The vapor is highly discomforting to the skin and may be harmful
is exposure is prolonged.
The material may cause skin irritation after prolonged or repeated TOXICITY
exposure and may produce on contact skin red redness, swelling,
and the production of vesicles, scaling and thickening of the skin. Inhalation (rat) LC50: 2500 ppm/1h*
Bare unprotected skin should not be exposures to this material.
(4) INHALED
The vapor is extremely discomforting to the upper respiratory tract HYDROFLUORIC ACID:
and lugs and is harmful if inhaled.
Inhalation hazard is increased at higher temperature.
Acute effects of fluoride inhalation irritation of nose and throat,
coughing and chest discomfort. A single acute over-exposure may
even cause nose bleed. Pre-existing respiratory conditions such as
emphysema, bronchitis may be aggravate by exposure.
Occupation asthma may result from a exposure
Reaction may not occur on exposure but response may be delayed
with symptoms only appearing many hours later.
The material may produce respiratory tract irritation, and result in
damage to the lung including reduced lung function.
(5) CHRONIC HEALTH EFFECTS
considered toxic by all exposure routes. Principal routes of
exposure are usually by skin contact, eye contact with the material
and inhalation of vapor. Hydrogen fluoride easily penetrates the
skin and cause destructive and corrosion of the bone and
underlying tissue. Ingestion cause severe pains and burn in the
mouth and throat and blood calcium levels are dangerously
reduced. Symptoms include spasm and twitching of the muscles,
high fever, convulsions and general extreme pain. Inhalation may
cause corrosion of the throat, nose and lungs, leading to severe
inflammation and lung swelling.
