Emergency Response

To Report a spill, call: 877-872-5839 After normal business hours, call: 1-877-385-5380 Hydrochloric Acid/Muriatic Acid GUIDE 157 SUBSTANCES - TOXIC and/or CORROSIVE (Non-Combustible / Water-Sensitive)

HEALTH

TOXIC; inhalation, ingestion or contact (skin, eyes) with vapors, dusts or substance may cause     severe injury, burns or death. Reaction with water or moist air will release toxic, corrosive or flammable gases. Reaction with water may generate much heat that will increase the concentration of fumes in     the air. Fire will produce irritating, corrosive and/or toxic gases. Runoff from fire control or dilution water may be corrosive and/or toxic and cause pollution

FIRE OR EXPLOSION

Non-combustible, substance itself does not burn but may decompose upon heating to produce     corrosive and/or toxic fumes. Vapors may accumulate in confined areas (basement, tanks, hopper/tank cars etc.). Substance will react with water (some violently), releasing corrosive and/or toxic gases. Contact with metals may evolve flammable hydrogen gas. Containers may explode when heated or if contaminated with water.

CALL Emergency Response Telephone Number on Shipping Paper first. If Shipping Paper not     available or no answer, refer to appropriate telephone number listed on the inside back cover. As an immediate precautionary measure, isolate spill or leak area in all directions for at least 50     meters (150 feet) for liquids and at least 25 meters (75 feet) for solids. Keep unauthorized personnel away. Stay upwind. Keep out of low areas. Ventilate enclosed areas.

PROTECTIVE CLOTHING

Wear positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA). Wear chemical protective clothing that is specifically recommended by the manufacturer. It may     provide little or no thermal protection. Structural firefighters' protective clothing provides limited protection in fire situations ONLY; it is     not effective in spill situations where direct contact with the substance is possible.

EVACUATION Spill

See the Table of Initial Isolation and Protective Action Distances for highlighted substances. For     non-highlighted substances, increase, in the downwind direction, as necessary, the isolation     distance shown under "PUBLIC SAFETY".

Fire

If tank, rail car or tank truck is involved in a fire, ISOLATE for 800 meters (1/2 mile) in all     directions; also, consider initial evacuation for 800 meters (1/2 mile) in all directions.

FIRE

Note: Most foams will react with the material and release corrosive/toxic gases.

Small Fires

CO2 (except for Cyanides), dry chemical, dry sand, alcohol-resistant foam.

Large Fires

Water spray, fog or alcohol-resistant foam. Move containers from fire area if you can do it without risk. Use water spray or fog; do not use straight streams. Dike fire-control water for later disposal; do not scatter the material.

Fire involving Tanks or Car/Trailer Loads

Fight fire from maximum distance or use unmanned hose holders or monitor nozzles. Do not get water inside containers. Cool containers with flooding quantities of water until well after fire is out. Withdraw immediately in case of rising sound from venting safety devices or discoloration of     tank. ALWAYS stay away from tanks engulfed in fire.

SPILL OR LEAK

ELIMINATE all ignition sources (no smoking, flares, sparks or flames in immediate area). All equipment used when handling the product must be grounded. Do not touch damaged containers or spilled material unless wearing appropriate protective     clothing. Stop leak if you can do it without risk. A vapor suppressing foam may be used to reduce vapors. DO NOT GET WATER INSIDE CONTAINERS. Use water spray to reduce vapors or divert vapor cloud drift. Avoid allowing water runoff to     contact spilled material. Prevent entry into waterways, sewers, basements or confined areas.

Small Spills

Cover with DRY earth, DRY sand or other non-combustible material followed with plastic sheet     to minimize spreading or contact with rain. Use clean non-sparking tools to collect material and place it into loosely covered plastic     containers for later disposal.

FIRST AID

Move victim to fresh air. Call 911 or emergency medical service. Give artificial resipiration if victim is not breathing. Do not use mouth-to-mouth method if victim ingested or inhaled the substance; give artificial     respiration with the aid of a pocket mask equipped with a one-way valve or other proper     respiratory medical device. Administer oxygen if breathing is difficult. Remove and isolate contaminated clothing and shoes. In case of contact with substance, immediately flush skin or eyes with running water for at least     20 minutes. For minor skin contact, avoid spreading material on unaffected skin. Keep victim warm and quiet. Effects of exposure (inhalation, ingestion or skin contact) to substance may be delayed. Ensure that medical personnel are aware of the material(s) involved and take precautions to     protect themselves.
