COMMENT
1. DILUTE SULFURIC ACID ( 50% ) DOES NOT REACT VIOLENTLY WITH WATER NOR DOES IT IMMEDIATELY ATTACK BODY TISSUES AS DOES CONC -
ENTRATED SULFURIC ACID ( 66o Baume,' 93% ). CARE, HOWEVER, IS STILL REQUIRED IN HANDLING THIS PRODUCT TO AVOID SKIN OR EYE
CONTACT. SUCH CONTACT CAN PRODUCE BURNS, TISSUE DAMAGE, AND BLINDNESS IF THE AREA OF CONTACT IS NOT FLUSHED IMMEDIATELY
WITH LARGE AMOUNTS OF WATER. IF EYE CONTACT OCCURS, FLUSH WITH WATER FOR AT LEAST 15 MINUTES FOR IMMEDIATE FIRST - AID AND
THEN SEEK PROMPT MEDICAL ATTENTION.

2. THE PERMISSIBLE FEDERAL EXPOSURE STANDARD FOR PURE SULFURIC ACID IN AIR IS 1 mg/m3. NO CRITERIA HAS BEEN SET FOR WATER.

3. NOTE: TOTAL PLANT USE OF SUFFICIENT SULFURIC ACID MAY REQUIRE ANNUAL REPORTING UNDER S A R A TITLE III.

EXPOSURE
BURNS
CAUSES SEVERE EYE ULCERATION AND
CONJUNCTIVITIS. PERMANENT EYE DAMAGE
MAY RESULT.
CAUSES SEVERE SKIN IRRITATION. MAY
CAUSE DERMATITIS AND DEEP SKIN BURNS.
IF A MIST OR SPRAY OF CONCENTRATED
PRODUCT IS DRAWN INTO THE BREATHING
TRACT, SEVERE IRRITATION OF RESPIRATORY
TRACT, INCREASED RESPIRATION RATE, PUL -
MONARY EDEMA, PULMONARY FAILURE, OR
DEATH MAY OCCUR. NASAL, MUCOUS, AND
BRONCHIAL TISSUE MAY BE BURNED AND/OR
PERMANENTLY DAMAGED.
CAUSES ULCERATION, BLEEDING, AND SCARRING
OF THE DIGESTIVE TRACT. SHOCK, CONVULSIONS,
COMA, AND DEATH MAY RESULT DEPENDING ON
THE AMOUNT INGESTED.
COFFEE - GROUND - LIKE MATERIAL PRODUCED
WITH VOMITING INDICATES DIGESTIVE BLEEDING.

CONDITIONS DERMATITIS, BLISTERS, BURNS, OR ANY PRE - IN NORMAL USE, NO EFFECT SHOULD BE NOTED IN NORMAL USE, INGESTION SHOULD NOT OCCUR.
AGGRAVATED EXISTING SKIN IRRITATION IF CONTACT OCCURS. SINCE NO VOLATILE COMPONENT IS PRESENT. INGESTION WILL PRODUCE IMMEDIATE TRAUMA.
