[Note: It is intended that these facilities provide a sufficient quantity or flow of water to quickly remove the substance from any body areas likely to be exposed. The actual determination of what constitutes an adequate quick drench facility depends on the specific circumstances.In certain instances, a deluge shower should be readily available, whereas in others, the availability of water from a sink or hose could be considered adequate.] (NIOSH,2003) DuPont Tychem@ Suit Fabrics Normalized Breakthrough Times(in Minutes) ................. ....... ....................... ............... ------—------- IRC TIS IRF State I QC I SL I I Chemical CAS Number I TF TP C3 BR LV ....................L Sulfuric acid7664-93-9 Liquid >480 >4801>4801 >480 1 >4801 >4801 >4801 >48011",>480 >480 ------ - 1 1 2- - ----- ------ ------- >indicates greater than. Special Warnings from DuPont 1. Serged and bound scams are degraded by some hazardous liquid chemicals, such as strong acids,and should not be worn when these chemicals are present. 2. CAUTION: This information is based upon technical data that DuPont believes to be reliable. It is subject to revision,as additional knowledge and experience are gained.DuPont makes no guarantee of results and assumes no obligation or liability... (DuPont,2013) First Aid Caution: Sulfuric acid is extremely corrosive. Caution is advised. Signs and Symptoms of Acute Sulfuric Acid Exposure: Signs and symptoms of acute ingestion of sulfuric acid may be severe and include salivation,intense thirst,difficulty in swallowing,pain, and shock. Oral,esophageal, and stomach bums are common. Vomitus generally has a coffee-ground appearance.The potential for circulatory collapse is high following ingestion of sulfuric acid. Acute inhalation exposure may result in sneezing,hoarseness,choking,laryngitis,dyspnea(shortness of breath),respiratory tract irritation, and chest pain. Bleeding of nose and gums,ulceration of the nasal and oral mucosa,pulmonary edema,chronic bronchitis, and pneumonia may also occur. If the eyes have come in contact with sulfuric acid, irritation,pain, swelling,corneal erosion, and blindness may result. Dermal exposure may result in severe bums,pain, and dermatitis (red, inflamed skin). Emergency Life-Support Procedures:Acute exposure to sulfuric acid may require decontamination and life support for the victims.Emergency personnel should wear protective clothing appropriate to the type and degree of contamination. Air-purifying or supplied-air respiratory equipment should also be worn, as necessary. Rescue vehicles should carry supplies such as plastic sheeting and disposable plastic bags to assist in preventing spread of contamination. Inhalation Exposure: 1. Move victims to fresh air.Emergency personnel should avoid self-exposure to sulfuric acid. 2. Evaluate vital signs including pulse and respiratory rate, and note any trauma. If no pulse is detected,provide CPR. If not breathing,provide artificial respiration.If breathing is labored, administer oxygen or other respiratory support. 3.Obtain authorization and/or further instructions from the local hospital for administration of an antidote or performance of other invasive procedures. 4. RUSH to a health care facility. http://l27.0.0.1:54673/report?key=CH5193 4/15/2015
