Get medical attention. IF ON SKIN, immediately flush with plenty of water. Remove contaminated clothing. Wash clothing be fore reuse. IF INHALED, remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration, preferably mouth-to-mouth. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical attention. Remove material from eyes, skin and clothing. IN CASE OF: SPILL or LEAK, shovel into containers and cover (see "Spill, Leak & Disposal Information" section). OCCUPATIONAL CONTROL PROCEDURES Eye Protection: Where there is significant potential for eye contact, wear chemical goggles and have eye baths available. Skin Protection: Respiratory Protection: Wear appropriate chemical resistant gloves and clothing to protect poten tially exposed skin. Consult glove manufacturer to determine appropriate type glove for given application. Wash contaminated skin promptly. Launder contaminated clothing and clean protective equipment before reuse. Wash thoroughly after handling. Avoid breathing vapor or dust. Use NIOSH/MSHA approved equipment when airborne exposure is excessive. Consult respirator manufacturer to determine appropriate type equipment for given application. The respirator use limitations specified by NIOSH/MSHA or the manufacturer must be observed. Respiratory protection programs must be in compliance with 29 CFR 1910.134. Ventilation: Airborne Exposure Limits: Provide sufficient ventilation to minimize exposure. Use local mechanical exhaust ventilation at sources of air contamination such as open process equipment.

Chronic inhalation of crystalline silica may cause a progressive pneumoconiosis (commonly known as silicosis), a form of disabling pulmonary fibrosis. Clinical signs and symptoms of silicosis include cough, dyspnea, wheezing and impairment of pulmonary function. Crystalline silica is classified as "probably carcinogenic to humans" by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC Monographs, Vol. 42). The IARC listing is based on their determination that there is limited evidence for the carcinogenicity of crystalline forms of silica in humans and sufficient evidence for the carcinogenicity of crystalline forms of silica in experimental animals. Epidemiology studies cited by IARC give indications of increased risk for dying from lung cancer in a working environment contaminated with crystalline silica, particularly in combination with other exposures. Vanadium Salts Sulfuric Acid Catalyst contains a mixture of vanadium salts (equivalent to 5-8% V2Os). GL Industrial experience indicates that exposure to vanadium compounds such as vanadium oxides and vanadates may produce productive cough, wheezing, difficulty in breathing, chest pains, bronchitis, inflammation of mucous membranes of the nose, influenza-like symptoms, and possibly pneumonia. Signs and symptoms of exposure to vanadium compounds include green tongue, metallic taste and eye, skin and throat irritation. Additional Information Threshold Limit Values (TLVs) have been established by the American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH) for amorphous silica and crystalline silica, which are components of Sulfuric Acid Catalyst. For further information on these materials, please refer to the current edition of the Documentation of Threshold Limit Values and Biological Exposure Indices.
