=====================  Hazards Identification  =====================

LD50 LC50 Mixture:LD50 (ORAL RAT) IS 900 MG/KG
Routes of Entry: Inhalation:YES  Skin:YES  Ingestion:YES
Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:NO    IARC:NO	OSHA:NO
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:ACUTE: CORROSIVE! INHALATION CAN CAUSE
    COUGHING, CHOKING, & INFLAMATION OF THE RESPIRATORY TRACT.
    SWALLOWING CAN CAUSE BURNS TO MOUTH & G.I. TRACT. EYE CONTACT CAN
    CAUSE SEVERE BURNS & DAMAGE. SKIN CO NTACT CAN CAUSE SEVERE BURNS
    AND DEEP ULCERS & DISCOLOR SKIN. CHRONIC: CONCENTRATED VAPORS MAY
    CAUSE EROSION OF TEETH.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:HYDROCHLORIC ACID IS NOT LISTED BY IARC,
    NTP, OR OSHA AS A CARCINOGEN.
Effects of Overexposure:INFLAMMATION OF THE NOSE, THROAT, UPPER
    RESPIRATORY TRACT, EYES, SKIN AND MUCOUS MEMBRANES. VERY CORROSIVE
    AND CAN CAUSE SEVERE BURNS AND DAMAGE. LONG TERM EXPOSURES SELDOM
    OCCUR DUE TO THE CORROSIVE	PROPERTIES OF THE ACID.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:PERSONS WITH A HISTORY OF AILMENTS
    OR WITH A PRE-EXISTING DISEASE INVOLVING THE EYES, SKIN, OR
    RESPIRATORY TRACT MAY BE AT INCREASED RISK FROM EXPOSURE.

=======================  First Aid Measures  =======================

First Aid:INHALATION:REMOVE TO FRESH AIR. RESUSCITATE IF NOT BREATHING.
    GET MEDICAL ATTENTION. EYES:IMMEDIATELY FLUSH WITH PLENTY OF WATER
    FOR 15 MINUTES HOLDING EYELIDS OPEN. GET IMMEDIATE MEDICAL
    ATTENTION. S KIN:REMOVE CONTAMINATED CLOTHING. WASH WITH SOAP AND
    WATER. GET IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION. INGESTION:DO NOT INDUCE
    VOMITING. GIVE NOTHING BY MOUTH IF UNCONSCIOUS. GET IMMEDIATE
    MEDICAL ATTENTION.

Flash Point:NONE
Extinguishing Media:USE WATER FOG, CARBON DIOXIDE, FOAM, OR DRY
    CHEMICAL.
Fire Fighting Procedures:WEAR FIRE FIGHTING PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT AND A
    FULL FACED SELF CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS. COOL FIRE EXPOSED
    CONTAINERS WITH WATER SPRAY.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:REACTION WITH ALL METALS PRODUCES
    EXTREMELY FLAMMABLE HYDROGEN GAS. COMBUSTION OR HEAT OF FIRE MAY
    PRODUCE HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS AND VAPORS.

==================  Accidental Release Measures  ==================

Spill Release Procedures:NEUTRALIZE WITH SODA ASH, LIME OR LIMESTONE IN
    SOLUTION WITH LAGE AMOUNT OF WATER. WEAR PROPER PROTECTIVE
    CLOTHES/EQUIPMENT.
Neutralizing Agent:SODA ASH, LIME OR OTHER SUITABLE ALKALINE MATERIAL.

======================	Handling and Storage  ======================
