| SECTION 3: Hazards Identification | |
|---|---|
| Emergency Overview: | Corrosive. Liquid may cause serious chemical burns in all points of human contact. Skin burns, corneal damage to eyes, and choking and irritation of the respiratory tract may occur. Harmful if swallowed. |
| Primary Routes of Exposure: | Ingestion, inhalation, eyes and skin |
| Eye Contact: | Severe corrosive to the eyes. Exposure can lead to permanent eye damage. |
| Skin Contact: | May be adsorbed through skin and cause burns. Contact can lead to redness, pain, blistering, ulceration, and scar formation. |
| Inhalation: | Inhalation of vapor may produce severe irritation of the mucous membranes and lungs. Choking, coughing and pulmonary edema may occur. |
| Ingestion: | Product is a corrosive acid. Ingestion may cause pain, vomiting, burns of mouth and throat, and ulceration of the gastrointestinal tract. |
| Acute Health Effects: | Liquid and vapor are corrosive to eyes, skin, mucous membranes, gastrointestinal and respiratory tract with the primary health effects being burns, blindness, ulcerations and pulmonary edema. |
| Chronic Health Effects: | Product contains fluorine which under certain conditions of use, decomposition, or metabolism, may generate fluoride ion, causing, nausea, vomiting, labored breathing, hypocalcemia, deterioration of bone and tooth structure, kidney and liver damage. |
