HAZARD
IDENTIFICATION
==============================================================================
Route Of Entry Inds - Inhalation: YES Skin: YES Ingestion: YES
Carcinogenicity Inds - NTP: N/P IARC: N/P OSHA: N/P
Health Hazards Acute And Chronic: INHALATION OF DUST/MIST MAY CAUSE IRRITATION
TO MUCOUS MEMBRANES. PROLONGED SKIN CONTACT MAY CAUSE DERMATITIS, CYANOSIS OF
FINGERS, DISCOLORATION OF FINGERNAILS, ETC. CHRONIC EXPOSURE MAY CAUSE
INFLAMMATION OF THE UPPER RESPIRATORY TRACT. S KIN, EYES & MUCOUS MEMBRANE
CONTACT WITH DUST/MIST HAS A CORROSIVE EFFECT.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity: NONE SPECIFIED BY MANUFACTURER.
Signs and Symptoms of Overexposure: SYMPTOMS APPEAR READILY ON INGESTION OF
CONC. SOLUTIONS WITHBURNS, NAUSEA, SEVERE GASTROENTERITIS, SHOCK AND
CONVULSIONS. INGESTION OF 5 GM HAS CAUSED DEATH WITHIN HOURS. DILUTE SOLU. CAN
CAUSE DELAYED SYMPTOMS INCLUDING GASTROINTESTINAL IN JURY, MUSCLE TWITCHING,
CRAMPS OR CNS DEPRESSION.
Medical Conditions Aggravated by Overexposure: PERSONS WITH A HISTORY OF SKIN
AND RESPIRATORY DISORDERS MAY BE AT INCREASED RISK FROM EXPOSURE.
==============================================================================
FIRST AID
==============================================================================
EYES: IMMEDIATELY FLUSH WITH WATER FOR 15 MIN., INCLUDING UNDER THE EYELIDS.
SKIN: WASH WITH SOAP AND WATER. INHALATION: REMOVE TO FRESH AIR. RINSE MOUTH.
INGESTION: INACTIVE OXALATE BY PRECIPITATING AS INSOLUBLE CALCIUM SALT BY
GIVING DIL. SOLU. OF SOLUBLE CALCIUM SALTS (I.E., CALCIUM LACTATE) LIME WATER,
OR MILK. GASTRIC LAVAGA. SEEK MEDICAL ASSISTANCE PROMPTLY FOR TREATMENT.
==============================================================================
FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
==============================================================================
Flash Point Text: N/K
Auto Ignition Temperature Text:
Lower Limits: N/K Upper Limits: N/K
Extinguishing Media: WATER SPRAY, DRY CHEMICAL, ALCOHOL FOAM, OR CO2. FOAM OR
WATER ON MOLTEN OXALIC ACID MAY CAUSE FROTHING.
Fire Fighting Procedures: FIREFIGHTERS SHOULD USE SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING
APPARATUS, PROTECTIVE CLOTHING, AND EYE PROTECTION.
Unusal Fire/Explosion Hazard: OXALIC ACID REACTS VIGOROUSLY WITH ALKALIES AND
IT HAS BEEN FOUND TO REACT EXPLOSIVELY WITH CHLORITES AND HYPOCHLORITES.(SEE
SUPPLEMENTAL DATA FOR CONTINUATION)
==============================================================================
RELEASE MEASURES
==============================================================================
Spill Release Procedures: CAREFULLY SCOOP UP SOLID FOR RECOVERY OR DISPOSAL.
PROVIDE ADEQUATE VENTILATION TO AVOID DUSTING. USE PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT. FLUSH
NEUTRALIZED MATERIAL TO HOLDING AREA FOR LIME TREATMENT.
Neutralizing Agent: SODA ASH OR SODIUM BICARBONATE.
Waste Disposal Methods: FOLLOWING LOCAL, STATE AND FEDERAL REGULATIONS.
==============================================================================
HANDLING AND STORAGE
==============================================================================
STORE IN A COOL, DRY, WELL VENTILATED AREA AWAY FROM CHLORITES, HYPOCHLORIES
AND ALKALIES. DO NOT STORE IN STEEL DRUMS, MAY CORRODE METAL.
==============================================================================
EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
==============================================================================
Respiratory Protection: WHERE DUSTING CAN OCCUR WITH THE SOLID FORM OR WHEN THE
SOLID OR SOLUTION IS HEATED, HOOD EXHAUSTS SHOULD BE MAINTAINED AT 100 LFM FACE
VELOCITY, MIN. RESPIRATORS SHOULD BE AVAILABLE FOR NONROUTINE OR EMERGENCY USE.
Ventilation: AT ROOM TEMPERATURE THE LOW VAPOR PRESSURE OF SOLID OR OF
SOLUTIONS USUALLY REQUIRES ONLY GENERAL ROOM VENTILATION.
Protective Gloves: NATURAL OR SYNTHETIC RUBBER GLOVES
Eye Protection: SAFETY GLASSES OR GOGGLES
Other Equipment: APRONS SHOULD BE WORN TO PREVENT SKIN CONTACT. PROVIDE MEDICAL
EXAMINATIONS PERIODICALLY FOR EVALUATIONS.
Work Hygenic Practices: APRONS SHOULD BE WORN TO PREVENT SKIN CONTACT. PROVIDE
MEDICAL EXAMINATIONS PERIODICALLY FOR EVALUATIONS.
Supplemental Safety & Health: OXALIC ACID IS A REDUCING AGENT, AND IT CAN
REACT VIOLENTLY WITH OXIDIZING AGENTS. WILL REACT VIOLENTLY WITH FURFURYL
ALCOHOL. REACTS WITH SOME SILVER COMPOUNDS TO FORM EXPLOSIVE SILVER OXALATE.
