COMPOSITION / INFORMATION ON INGREDIENTS INGREDIENTS (Chemical/Common Names): CAS No.: % by Wt: Sulfuric Acid (Dilute) 7664-93-9 ~35 All concentrations are in percent by weight unless ingredient is a gas. Gas concentrations are in percent by volume. 4. FIRST AID MEASURES Inhalation IF INHALED: Remove person to fresh air and keep comfortable for breathing. Immediately call a poison control center or doctor for treatment advice. Skin contact Immediately take off all contaminated clothing. Rinse skin with water/shower. Call a physician or poison control center immediately. Chemical burns must be treated by treated a physician. Wash contaminated clothing before reuse. Eye contact Immediately flush eyes for at least 15 minutes. Remove contact lenses if present and easy to do. Continue rinsing. Call a physician or poison control center immediately Ingestion Call a physician or poison control center immediately. Rinse mouth. DO not induce vomiting. If vomiting occurs, keep head low so that stomach content doesn?t get into lungs. Most important symptoms/effects, acute and delayed Burning pain and severe corrosive skin damage. May cause severe irritation or burns to the eyes, skin, gastrointestinal tract, and respiratory system. Causes serious eye damage. Symptoms may include stinging, tearing, redness, swelling, and blurred vision. Permanent eye damage including blindness could result. Indication of immediate medical attention and special treatment needed Provide general supportive measures and treat symptomatically. Chemical burns: flush with water immediately. While flushing, remove clothes which do not adhere to affected areas. Call an ambulance. Continue flushing during transport to hospital. Keep victim under observation. Symptoms may be delayed. General information Ensure that medical personnel are aware of the material(s) involved, and take precautions to protect themselves. 5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES Suitable extinguishing media Powder. Foam. Carbon dioxide (CO2) Unsuitable extinguishing media Do not use water jet as an extinguisher as this will spread the fire. Specific hazards arising from the chemical During fire, gases hazardous to health may be formed. Special protective equipment and precautions for firefighters Self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing must be worn in case of fire. Firefighting equipment/ instructions Move containers from fire area if you can do so without risk. Specific methods Use standard firefighting procedures and consider the hazards of other involved materials General fire hazards No unusual fire or explosion hazards noted. Not flammable, but reacts with most metals to form flammable hydrogen gas. 6: ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES Personal precautions, protective equipment, and emergency preparedness Keep unnecessary personnel away. Keep people away from and upwind of spill/leak. Keep out of low areas. Wear appropriate protective equipment and clothing during clean-up. Do not breathe mist or vapor. Do not touch damaged containers or spilled material unless wearing appropriate protective clothing. Ensure adequate ventilation. Local authorities should be advised if significant spillages cannot be contained. For personal protection, see section 8 of the SDS. Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up Large spills: Stop the flow of material, if this is without risk. Dike the spilled material, where this is possible. Cover with plastic sheet to prevent spreading. Absorb in vermiculite, dry sand, or earth and place in containers. Prevent entry into waterways, sewer, basements or confined areas. Battery Acid (Dilute) SDS US Version #: 01 Issue Date: 04/01/2015 Revision Date: - 3 of 8 Small spills: Wipe up with absorbent material (e.g. cloth, fleece). Clean surface thoroughly to remove residual contamination. Never return spills to original containers for re-use. For waste disposal, see section 13 of the SDS. Environmental precautions Avoid discharge into drains, water courses, or onto the ground. 7. HANDLING AND STORAGE Handling Do not breathe vapor. Do not get in eyes, on skin, or on clothing. Avoid prolonged exposure. Provide adequate ventilation. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment. Observe good industrial practices. Storage Store locked up. Store in original tightly closed container. Store away from incompatible materials. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame. (See section 10 of the SDS) Other 8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION Occupational exposure limits US OSHA Table Z-1 Limits for Air Contaminants ( 29 CFR 1910.1000) Ingredient CAS Number Type Value Sulfuric Acid (Dilute) 7664-93-9 PEL 1 mg/m3 US ACGIH Threshold Limit Values Ingredient CAS Number Type Value Form Sulfuric Acid (Dilute) 7664-93-9 TWA 0.2 mg/m? Thoracic Fractions US NIOSH: Pocket Guide to Chemical Hazards Ingredient CAS Number Type Value Sulfuric Acid (Dilute) 7664-93-9 TWA 1 mg/m? Biological limit values No biological exposure limits noted for the ingredient(s). Engineering Controls (Ventilation): Good ventilation required (typically 10 air changes per hour) should be used. Ventilation rates should be matched to conditions. If applicable, use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to maintain airborne levels below recommended exposure limits. If exposure limits have not been established, maintain airborne levels to an acceptable level. Provide eyewashes station. Respiratory Protection: NONE REQUIRED UNDER NORMAL HANDLING CONDITIONS When workers are facing concentrations above the exposure limit they must use appropriate certified respirators. Use a positive- pressure air-supplied respirator if there is any potential for an uncontrolled release, exposure levels are not known, or any other circumstances where air-purifying respirators may not provide adequate protection. Skin Protection: Wear appropriate chemical resistant gloves and clothing. Eye Protection: Wear safety glasses with side shields (or goggles). Face shield is recommended. General Hygiene Considerations: Always observe good personal hygiene measures, such as washing after handling the material and before eating, drinking, and/or smoking. Routinely wash work clothing and protective equipment to remove contaminants. Battery Acid (Dilute) SDS US Version #: 01 Issue Date: 04/01/2015 Revision Date: - 4 of 8 9.
