EMERGENCY OVERVIEW:
Clear, colourless to dark brown, odourless, dense, oily liquid. Will not burn. Can decompose at high temperatures forming toxic gases, such as sulfur oxides. Contact with combustible materials may cause fire. Highly reactive. Contact with many organic and inorganic chemicals may cause fire or explosion. Contact with metals liberates flammable hydrogen gas. Reacts violently with water. VERY TOXIC. May be fatal if inhaled or swallowed. CORROSIVE to the eyes, skin and respiratory tract. May cause blindness and permanent scarring. Causes lung injury--effects may be delayed. Strong inorganic acid mists containing sulfuric acid are CARCINOGENIC. 

Target Organs:
Lungs, teeth, eyes, skin, mucous membranes.

Ingestion: 
May cause severe and permanent damage to the digestive tract. Causes burns in mouth, pharynx and gastrointestinal tract. Nausea, Vomiting, Abdominal pain. Corrosive and toxic.

Inhalation: 
Harmful if inhaled. May cause severe irritation of the respiratory tract with sore throat, coughing, shortness of breath and delayed lung edema. Causes chemical burns to the respiratory tract. May cause respiratory inflammation. Destructive to tissues of mucous membranes. Headache, May cause delayed lung injury. Vomiting. Nausea. Pulmonary edema. Corrosive and toxic. 

Effects of Chronic Exposure: 
Prolonged or repeated inhalation may cause nosebleeds, nasal congestion, erosion of the teeth, perforation of the nasal septum, chest pain and bronchitis. Prolonged or repeated eye contact may cause conjunctivities. May cause death. CORROSIVE to body tissues. To the best of our knowledge the chronic toxicity of this substance has not been fully investigated. 

Personal precautions:
See section 8 for recommendations on the use of personal protective equipment.Environmental precautions: Cleanup personnel need personal protection from inhalation and skin/eye contact. Evacuate and ventilate the area. Prevent spillage from entering drains. Cautiously add water to spill, taking care to avoid splashing and spattering. Neutralize diluted spill with soda ash or lime. Absorb neutralized spill with vermiculite or other inert absorbent material, then place in a suitable container for disposal. Clean surfaces thoroughly with water to remove residual contamination. Any release to the environment may be subject to federal/national or local reporting requirements. Dispose of all waste or cleanup materials in accordance with local regulations. Containers, even when empty, will retain residue and vapors.General Information: Use proper personal protective equipment as indicated in Section 8.

Spills/Leaks:
Clean up spills immediately, observing precautions in the Protective Equipment section. Cover with sand, dry lime or soda ash, and place in a closed container for disposal.Steps to be taken in case material is released or spilled: Evacuate. Wear self-contained breathing apparatus, rubber boots and heavy rubber gloves. Cover with soda ash or lime. Place in a suitable container and mark for disposal. Use non-sparking tools. Ventilate area and wash spill site after material pick-up is complete. Waste disposal method: According to all applicable regulations.

Handling: 
Wash thoroughly after handling. Remove contaminated clothing and wash before re-use. Use with adequate ventilation. Do not get in eyes, on skin or on clothing.

Storage: 
Do not store near combustible materials. Keep container closed when not in use. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from combustible substances. Do not store near alkaline substances.Store in a cool place away from heated areas, sparks and flame. Keep tightly closed. Do not add any other material to the container. Do not store in a damp atmosphere. Do not get in eyes, on skin or on clothing. Do not store near organic substances. Do not allow smoking and food consumption while handling. In accordance with good storage and handling practices. Do not store near flammable substances. Wash well after use.

Storage Code: 
White.

Engineering Controls: 
Use process enclosure, local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to control airborne levels.
