    DIFFICULTY IN BREATHING.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:ANY PRE-EXISTING RESPIRATORY
    DISEASE, FOR EXAMPLE EMPHYSEMA.

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

First Aid:SEE SUPP DATA. GET IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION!! EYE:FLUSH
    W/WATER FOR 15 MIN. SKIN:WASH W/SOAP & WATER. REMOVE CONTAMINATED
    CLOTHING & LAUNDER BEFORE REUSE. INHALED:REMOVE FROM EXPOSURE. AID
    OR RESTO RE BREATHING AS NEEDED. INGESTED:DO NOTINDUCE VOMITING.
    GIVE LARGE QUANTITIES OF MILK, MILK OF MAGNESIA, TABLE OIL, EGGS OR
    WATER TO DRINK. GET IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION. RINSE MOUTH OFTEN.

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

Extinguishing Media:DRY CHEMICAL OR CARBON DIOXIDE FOR SMALL FIRES.
    WATER FOG, LARGE FIRES.
Fire Fighting Procedures:DO NOT DIRECT WATER INTO ACID TANKS. COOL
    OUTSIDE OF TANK W/WATER. WEAR FULL-FACE, SCBA, RUBBERIZED OUTER
    WEAR, GLOVES, BOOTS.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:SULFURIC ACID WILL NOT BURN BUT CAN START
    FIRES WITH ORGANIC MATERIAL, NITRATES, CARBIDES, CHLORATES & METAL
    POWDER. FLAMMABLE HYDROGEN GAS FORMED BY METAL CONTACT. HYDROGEN
    MAY ACCUMULATE IN CONTAINE RS, AVOID IGNITION SOURCES, SPILL INTO
    SEWERS  MAY GENERATE HYDROGEN OR TOXIC SULFIDES.

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

Spill Release Procedures:WEAR FULL ACID-PROTECTIVE GEAR. REMOVE SOURCES
    OF IGNITION. NEUTRALIZE SPILL WITH LIME OR SODA ASH. FLUSH TO WASTE
    WATER TREATMENT SYSTEM IF ALLOWED. DIKE LARGE SPILLS. DO NOT WASH
    INTO STORM OR SANIT ARY SEWER SYSTEM.
Neutralizing Agent:LIME OR SODA ASH (MIN 7.8 LBS PER GALLON OF
    ELECTROLYTE) CONSULT REGULATIONS.

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

Handling and Storage Precautions:DO NOT STORE NEAR ORGANICS. HYDROGEN
    MAY BE GENERATED INSIDE DRUMS & TANKS. AVOID FLAMES & SPARKS.
Other Precautions:NEVER ADD WATER TO CONTAINERS OF ACID. BEWARE OF ACID
    REACTION IN SEWERS THAT MAY PRODUCE FLAMMABLE HYDROGEN GAS OR TOXIC
    SULFIDES.

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

Respiratory Protection:WHEN NEEDED USE NIOSH OR MSHA APPROVED HALF OR
    FULL-FACE MASK WITH ACID GAS CARTRIDGE. FOR HIGH CONCENTRATIONS,
    USE SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS.
