SECTION 4. FIRST AID MEASURES

4.1 Description of first aid measures

4.1.1 General advice

Quick action is necessary. Administer first aid and call a doctor immediately. The rescuers must use suitable personal protective equipment. Evacuate the affected person from the place of exposure. Make sure that the eyewash fountains and safety showers are located close to the work stations. Those exposed to the risk of eye contact should be instructed on the need and the method immediately applicable in eye washing, and on the locations and directions for use of eyewash fountains and safety showers.

4.1.2 Inhalation

Evacuate the affected person to fresh air. Arrange the comfortable half-upright position and keep at rest. If not breathing, or when the symptoms of weakness are shown, apply

Nitric acid, 60 %



artificial respiration. Mouth-to-mouth or mouth-to-nose resuscitation methods may be dangerous. Oxygen may be administered by qualified personnel.

4.1.3 Skin

Wash out with water. Take off the contaminated clothing and flush the affected skin with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. In case of chemical burns, seek medical attention immediately. Do not use soap and/or any neutralising agents.

4.1.4 Eyes

Immediately flush eyes with the eye-wash solution or with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Avoid using a strong water jet because of the risk of mechanical corneal damage. Keep the eyelids open when flushing. Do not rub the eyes.

4.1.5 Ingestion

Do not induce vomiting. If the affected person is conscious, rinse mouth with water and give milk to drink. Do not give any neutralising (alkaline) agents. Provide medical attention immediately.

4.2 Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed

Poisoning, skin burns, eye damage, respiratory irritation.

4.3 Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed

No data available.

SECTION 5. FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES

5.1 Extinguishing media

Nitric acid is not combustible. If a fire breaks out, however, use the best available fire extinguishing media: water or CO2. Extinguishing media which must not be used for safety reasons: do not use chemical extinguishers and fire foam; do not try putting out the fire with steam or sand.

5.2 Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture

Nitric acid is not combustible but it is an oxidiser, hence it may react with numerous flammable materials to produce a fire and to release toxic fumes (nitrogen oxides). Its contact with a strong reducer may result in an explosion. It reacts with most metals and

Nitric acid, 60 %



hydrogen is released in the process. Hydrogen/air mixtures are explosive. Dangerous products of decomposition and combustion: nitrogen oxides.

5.3 Advice for fire-fighters

5.3.1 Special protective equipment

Use self-contained breathing apparatus and full acid-resistant fire-fighting clothing.

5.3.2 Precautions for fire-fighting

Cool tanks with water spray if exposed to high temperature or flames. Prevent fire water from entering the environment.

SECTION 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

6.1 Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures

6.1.1 Personal precautions

Those involved in clean-up of a major spillage should wear protective clothing and isolating breathing apparatus. Avoid any eye contact and inhalation of vapours. Keep unnecessary personnel away.

6.1.2 Precautions for emergency responders

Refer to section 8.

6.2 Environmental precautions

Prevent further leaking if that is possible and safe to do. Prevent product entry to sewage systems and water courses. Protect drain inlets. Notify relevant authorities in case of accidental pollution of water bodies or sewage systems. Dilute acid with water and/or neutralise it with soda or sodium carbonate before discharging it to a sewage treatment plant or to the aquatic environment.

6.3 Methods and material for containment and cleaning up

6.3.1 Methods for containment

Stop the liquid escape as soon as possible. Ventilate the spill area if required. In case of a large spill, contain the spilled material and pump the liquid for recovery or disposal.

8.1.4 Predicted No Effect Concentration (PNEC)

PNEC – aqua

Nitric acid is a strong acid which will dissociate in water to produce ions H+ and NO3–. The protons may affect the pH value of the aqueous medium which entails toxic effects for aquatic organisms.

PNEC – sediment

PNEC data for nitric acid are not critical since it is a substance which will dissociate in water to produce ions: H+ and NO3–. High water solubility of nitric acid is indicative of its predominant presence in the aquatic compartment – acid will not be absorbed on the surface of sediment particles.

PNEC – soil

After it is applied to soil, nitric acid will penetrate through its bed, according to soil viscosity. When going through soil, nitric acid will dissolve chemical compounds which are contained in soil, in particular it will dissolve carbonates. Leaching acids out of soil will be controlled by the water content in that specific soil. Nitrates produced by nitric acid are absorbed by plants, or they are processed by denitrification organisms which produce nitrogen or dinitrogen monoxide.

PNEC – STP

The hazard for the sewage treatment plant (process) connected with the presence of nitric acid results predominantly from the increase in the concentration of H+ ions which are released from dissociation (change in pH). Since the STP parameters, like pH, are subjected to regular monitoring and adjustment, the PNEC value for nitric acid is of low significance in the case of STP.

Nitric acid, 60 %



PNEC – oral

Nitric acid has no bioaccumulation potential. It is an inorganic compound which is water-miscible and perfectly water-soluble. Nitric acid will dissociate in water to produce H+ and NO3–, hence bioaccumulation of nitric acid is not critical.

8.2 Exposure controls

8.2.1 Appropriate engineering controls

Use local ventilation systems where necessary. Provide safety showers and eyewash fountains in all places where skin and/or eye contact may be expected.

8.2.2 Individual protection measures

EYE AND FACE PROTECTION Chemical safety goggles in accordance with EN 166, or face shield in accordance with EN 402 (required).

HAND PROTECTION In case of possible dermal contact, use impervious protective gloves which are resistant to chemicals, in accordance with EN 374 (required), and which are made of butyl rubber, PVC or fluorinated elastomer (PTFE).

SKIN AND BODY PROTECTION Protective clothing which is resistant to chemicals (EN 14605) and chemical-resistant boots.

RESPIRATORY PROTECTION Use suitable respiratory protection items when the exposure level exceeds or may exceed the allowable values, and as appropriate for the actual exposure which may be experienced: face mask with type E (EN 14387) or with type B filter, or self-contained breathing apparatus.

HYGIENE MEASURES Do not eat, do not drink and do not smoke when handling the product. Wash hands after handling the product, before breaks for

Nitric acid, 60 %



eating, smoking, going to a lavatory, etc. 8.2.3 Environmental exposure controls

Notify relevant authorities when the substance is discharged to atmosphere, water reservoir(s) and/or sewage system.

Production and commercial use of nitric acid may be potentially connected with emissions to water bodies and with local increase in the concentration of nitrate ions, through reduced pH value in the aqueous environment. When pH of the effluent stream is not neutralised, any discharge from the nitric acid plant may result in lower pH value of the water compartment. However, the pH parameter in the sewage stream is usually subjected to regular monitoring, hence any accidental discharge may be neutralised with ease.

Nitric acid is an inorganic substance, hence some of its physical-chemical properties (e.g. octanol/water partition) have not been defined which reduces the possibility of its qualitative assessment. Nitric acid has no bioaccumulative potential since nitrates will dissolve in water easily and they will be quickly excreted via urine.
