decompositon. (Sulfuric acid)

Section 6: Accidental Release Measures

Small Spill:
Dilute with water and mop up, or absorb with an inert dry material and place in an appropriate waste disposal container.
If necessary: Neutralize the residue with a dilute solution of sodium carbonate. Finish cleaning by spreading water on the
contaminated surface and dispose of according to local and regional authority requirements.
Large Spill:
Absorb with an inert material and put the spilled material in an appropriate waste disposal. Neutralize the residue with a dilute
solution of sodium carbonate. Finish cleaning by spreading water on the contaminated surface and allow to evacuate through

p. 2
the sanitary system. Be careful that the product is not present at a concentration level above TLV. Check TLV on the MSDS
and with local authorities.

Section 7: Handling and Storage

Precautions:
Do not breathe gas/fumes/ vapor/spray. In case of insufficient ventilation, wear suitable respiratory equipment. If you feel
unwell, seek medical attention and show the label when possible. Avoid contact with skin and eyes.
Storage: Keep container tightly closed. Keep container in a cool, well-ventilated area.

Section 8: Exposure Controls/Personal Protection

Engineering Controls:
Provide exhaust ventilation or other engineering controls to keep the airborne concentrations of vapors below their respective
threshold limit value.
Personal Protection:
Splash goggles. Lab coat. Vapor respirator. Be sure to use an approved/certified respirator or equivalent. Gloves.
Personal Protection in Case of a Large Spill:
Splash goggles. Full suit. Vapor respirator. Boots. Gloves. A self contained breathing apparatus should be used to avoid
inhalation of the product. Suggested protective clothing might not be sufficient; consult a specialist BEFORE handling this
product.

with abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and black stool. Pink urine is a strong indicator of iron poisoning. Lack
of appetite, Liver damage, renal failure, hypotension, cardiac failure, central nervous system effects/changes in behavior
(lethargy, restlessness, confusion, seizures), leukocytosis, acidosis, coma, and death have also been recorded from acute iron
poisoning.Chronic Potential Health Effects: Inhalation: Since solution contains a small amount of Sulfuric acid, prolonged or
repeated inhalation may affect the teeth (dental discoloration, erosion). Ingestion: Prolonged or repeated ingestion may have
symptoms similar to that of acute ingestion. Since this solution contains a small amout of Sulfuric acid, prolonged or repeated
ingestion may als also affect the teeth (dental discoloration, erosion)
