Eye or skin contact with liquid causes severe burns and can result in blindness even after a short exposure to small amounts. Muriatic acid mists or HC1 vapor are severely irritating to the respiratory tract and mucous membranes. Inhalation of sufficiently high concentrations may result in laryngeal spasms, laryngeal edema, or rapidly developing pulminary edema. Mists may also cause bleeding of the nose and gums, ulceration of the nasal and oral mucosa and severe skin and eye irritation. Ingestion of muriatic acid causes severe burns of the digestive tract because of its corrosive nature and may be fatal. Chronic: No known effects other than those outlined above. Emergency and First Aid Procedures Eve or Skin Contact: Immediately wash eyes with plenty of water (soap and water for skin) for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Call a physician. Thoroughly clean contaminated clothing and shoes before reuse or discard. Inhalation Overexposure: Remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration, preferably mouth-to-mouth. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Call a physician. Swallowing: Give a quart of water to drink. Do Not induce vomiting. Take immediately to a hospital. SECTION VII - SPILL OR LEAK PROCEDURES Steps to be taken in case material is released or spilled: Remove unprotected personnel from area of spill. Only personnel equipped SL 07453 2- - Muriatic Acid with proper skin and eye protection should be allowed in area. Neutralize spilled material by slowly and carefully covering the spill with soda ash (sodium carbonate). Then flush away the resultant mixture with copious amounts of water. SECTION VII -- SPECIAL PROTECTION INFORMATION Respiratory Protection Use NIOSH/MESA-approved respiratory protection for mists and acid gases. Consult 29 CFR 1910.134 for specific requirements. SECTION IX - SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS Precautions to be Taken in Handling and Storing -- When handling, wear safety goggles and face shield, rubber gloves, boots and apron, long-sleeve shirt and hard hat. -- Wear respiratory protection in any event where mist or vapor may be generated above OSHA permissible exposure limit. -- Avoid contact with strong alkalies or metals. Other Precautions -- Do not get in eyes, on skin or on clothing. -- Avoid breathing mist or vapor. -- Use only with ventilation sufficient to limit employee exposure in work area at or below OSHA permissible exposure limit. -- Do not take internally. -- Wash thoroughly after handling.
