Section 3 -- HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY OF ACUTE HAZARDS
Hydrofluoric acid is extremely irritating and corrosive to skin and mucous
membranes. Speed in moving exposed personnel from contaminated area and in
removing HF from skin or eyes is of primary importance. First aid must be
started immediately, within seconds, in all cases of contact with hydrofluoric
acid in any form. Inhalation of the vapor may cause ulcers of the upper
respiratory tract. Concentrations at 50 to 200 ppm are dangerous.
Hydrofluoric acid produces burns, which are slow in healing. The subcutaneous
tissue may be affected, becoming blanched and bloodless. Gangrene of the
affected areas may follow.
SYMPTOMS OF OVEREXPOSURE BY EYE OR SKIN CONTACT, INHALATION, OR INGESTION:
Conjunctivitis, corneal burns; severe skin burns with ulceration; pain
behind the breastbone, cough, spitting blood, dyspnea, difficult breathing,
bronchopneumonia, cyanosis, shock, muscle spasms, convulsions, jaundice,
oliguria, alburninuria, hematuria, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain,
diarrhea; burns and corrosion of mouth, esophagus, stomach and small bowel.
Inhalation over exposure may cause lung damage and pulmonary edema.
Toxicity from pulmonary absorption of fluoride ion may develop in the liver
and kidneys.
SUMMARY OF CHRONIC HAZARDS
Possible mutagen. Respiratory ulcers may occur. Skin injuries may result
in gangrene.
MEDICAL CONDITIONS AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE
Individuals with pre-existing or chronic diseases of the eyes, skin,
respiratory system, cardiovascular system, gastrointestinal system, liver, or
kidneys may have increased susceptibility to excessive exposure.
=============================================================================
Section 4 -- FIRST AID MEASURES
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
If INHALED: Exposed individuals should be carried at once into an
uncontaminated atmosphere. Even in the absence of symptoms, a physician
should be called immediately. If breathing has stopped, begin artificial
respiration. If inhalation equipment and trained attendant are available,
oxygen administration should be started at ounce. Patient should remain
quiet - preferably lying down and kept warm and comfortable. As soon as
possible, patient should be given 2.5% to 3% calcium gluconate solution by
inhalation, preferably by intermittent positive pressure breathing (IPPB)
using a nebulizer, or by nebulizer alone. The patient should be watched
carefully for edema of the upper airway with respiratory obstruction.
Delayed pulmonary edema is likely in patients with burns of the skin on the
face or neck. If pulmonary edema develops, the patient should be placed in
IPPB with positive end - expiratory pressure (PEEP). The administration of
respiratory care should be closely supervised and performed by qualified
personnel. Stimulants should not be given unless ordered by a physician.
Under no circumstances should a patient be permitted
If on SKIN: Workers who have had contact with hydrofluoric acid should
be subjected immediately to a drenching shower of water. The clothing should
be removed as rapidly as possible, even while the victim is in the shower,
and medical assistance obtained immediately. It is essential that the exposed
area be washed with copious amounts of water for a sufficient period of time
to remove all hydrofluoric acid from the skin (5 Minutes). Calcium gluconate
gel (2.5%) should be rubbed in continuously until pain has completely
subsided. Personnel who apply the gel should be sure to wear rubber gloves
to prevent skin contamination with the HF. Calcium gluconate gel is the
preferred treatment but an alternative treatment is using an iced aqueous or
alcoholic solution, 0.13% (1:750) of benzalkonium chloride (zephiran
chloride); and iced 70% alcohol solution; or and ice-cold saturated solution
of magnesium sulfate (epsom salt) should be applied for at least 30 minutes.
If the burn is in such an area that it is impractical to immerse the part,
then the iced solution should be applied with saturated compresses, which
should be changed at least every two minutes. The physician should be
available by then to administer further treatment before completion of the
iced solution treatment. However, if a physician is not available by that
time, the treatment with one of the iced solutions should be continued for
two to four hours. In cases of overexposure due to HF, as in skin burns of
greater than approximately 25 sq. inches in area, hypocalcemia may be present.
Therefore, systemic administration of calcium gluconate may be necessary.
Frequent monitoring of serium calcium, renal and hepatic functions are
necessary.
If in EYES: If even minute quantities of hydrofluoric acid enter the
eyes, they should be immediately irrigated with running water for 5 minutes.
The eyelids should be held apart during the irrigation to insure contact of
water with all accessible tissue of the eyes and lids. Immediately following
irrigation with water, a 1% calcium gluconate solution should be used to wash
the eyes thoroughly for 5-10 minutes, and then instilled every 2-3 hours as
drops. A physician, preferably an eye specialist, should be called in at
once. No oils or oily ointment should be used unless ordered by the
physician.
If SWALLOWED: Swallowing of hydrofluoric acid causes burns of the mucous
membrane of the mouth, throat, esophagus and the stomach. The patient should
be encouraged to immediately drink a large amount of water or milk with added
milk of magnesia. Do not induce vomiting. Call a physician immediately.

FLASH POINT LEL UEL
None N/A N/A
EXTINGUSING MEDIA
Use agents appropriate for surrounding fires.
SPECIAL FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES: Wear self-contained breathing apparatus
(SCBA) and other protective clothing. Hazardous decomposition products
possible (see Section 10). Evacuate immediate area.
UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS: Material can generate explosive hydrogen
gas on contact with certain metals and reacts violently with water. Runoff
from fire control may cause pollution. Neutralize runoff with sodium
bicarbonate.
=============================================================================
Section 6 -- ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
STEPS TO BE TAKEN IN CASE MATERIAL IS RELEASED OR SPILLED: Evacuate area and
keep upwind until gas has dispersed. Dike spill. Dilute with water fog
(direct application of alkali may cause violent splattering). Neutralize with
sodium bicarbonate. Persons not wearing protective equipment and clothing
should be restricted from areas of spills or leaks until clean up has been
completed.
