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

First Aid:SKIN-EYE CONTACT: CALL PHYSICIAN IMMEDIATELY. FOR EYES,
    IMMEDIATELY FLUSH WITH RUNNING WATER AT LEAST 15 MINUTES. FOR SKIN,
    FLUSH SKIN WITH RUNNING WATER  FOR AT LEAST 15 MINUTES. INHALATION:
    CALL PHY SICIAN IMMEDIATELY. REMOVE VICTIM FROM CONTAMINATED
    ATMOSPHERE. INGESTION: CALL PHYSICIAN IMMEDIATELY. DO NOT INDUCE
    VOMITING. IMMEDIATELY DILUTE SWALLOWED MATERIAL BY ORALLY
    ADMINISTERING WATER.

=====================  Fire Fighting Measures  =====================

Flash Point:NONFLAMMABLE
Extinguishing Media:AVOID SPRAYING WATER INTO CONTAINERS; USE WATER
    SPRAY. FOR SMALL AMOUNTS OF COMBUSTIBLES, SMOTHER FIRE WITH DRY
    CHEMICAL
Fire Fighting Procedures:AVOID DIRECT STREAMS OF WATER, MAY CAUSE
    SPLATTERING. USE NIOSH/MSHA APPROVED SCBA AND FULL PROTECTIVE
    CLOTHING. CONSIDERABLE HEAT MAY BE EVOLVED USING WATER.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:FLAMMABLE AND EXPLOSIVE HYDROGEN GAS CAN
    BE GENERAYED INSIDE METAL DRUMS AND STORAGE TANKS. CONCENTRATED
    ACID CAN IGNITE COMBUSTIBLE MATERIAL ON CONTACT.

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

Spill Release Procedures:NO SMOKING IN SPILL AREAS. DILUTE MATERIAL
    CAUTIOUSLY WITH LARGE QUANTITIES OF WATER, THEN NEUTRALIZE WITH
    ALKALI SUCH AS SODA ASH OR LIME. KEEP OUT OF SEWER SYSTEM. DIKING
    WITH SODA ASH IS RECOMMENDE D. ADEQUATE VENTILATION IS REQUIRED
    USING SODA ASH
Neutralizing Agent:LIME OR SODA ASH

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

Handling and Storage Precautions:NO SMOKING IN STORAGE AREAS. STORE IN
    COOL, WELL VENTILATED AREAS AWAY FROM COMBUSTIBLES AND REACTIVE
    CHEMICALS. KEEP AWAY FROM SUN AND HEAT.
Other Precautions:KEEP CONTAINERS UPRIGHT. WHEN DILUTING, ALWAYS ADD
    ACID TO WATER CAUTIOUSLY WITH AGITATION.

=============  Exposure Controls/Personal Protection  =============

Respiratory Protection:USE NEGATIVE PRESSURE AIR PURIFYING RESPIRATOR
    WITH NIOSH/MSHA APPROVED DUST/MIST FILTER CARTRIDGES WHEN EXPOSURE
    TO MISTS EXCEED PERMISSIBLE EXPOSURE LIMITS: TWA > 0.05 MGM3
Ventilation:REQUIRED. LOCAL EXHAUST. NOTE: VENTILATE STORAGE TANKS
