Fire-fighting measures Move to fresh air. Call a physician if symptoms develop or persist. Get medical attention if irritation develops and persists. Rinse with water. Get medical attention if irritation develops and persists. Get medical attention if symptoms occur. Treat symptomatically. Suitable extinguishing media Water. Water fog. Foam. Dry chemical powder. Carbon dioxide (CO2). Use extinguishing agent suitable for type of surrounding fire. Unsuitable extinguishing media Specific hazards arising from the chemical Special protective equipment and precautions for firefighters ne known. 6. Accidental release measures Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up Environmental precautions 7. Handling and storage Wear full protective clothing, including helmet, self-contained positive pressure or pressure demand breathing apparatus, protective clothing and face mask. Dilute with water. Stop the flow of material, if this is without risk. Neutralize small amounts with sodium bicarbonate or lime and flush to sewer with large amounts of water. Never return spills in original containers for re-use. For waste disposal, see section 13 of the MSDS. Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so. Do not contaminate water. Precautions for safe handling Avoid prolonged exposure. Avoid release to the environment. Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities 8. Exposure controls/personal protection Occupational exposure limits Store in original tightly closed container. Use care in handling/storage. Store in accordance with local/regional/national/international regulation. US. OSHA Table Z-1 Limits for Air Contaminants (29 CFR ) Type HYDROGEN CHLORIDE (CAS ) US. ACGIH Threshold Limit Values HYDROGEN CHLORIDE (CAS ) Ceiling Type Ceiling US. NIOSH: Pocket Guide to Chemical Hazards Type HYDROGEN CHLORIDE (CAS ) Biological limit values Appropriate engineering controls Ceiling Value 7 mg/m3 5 ppm Value 2 ppm Value 7 mg/m3 5 ppm biological exposure limits noted for the ingredient(s). Good general ventilation (typically 10 air changes per hour) should be used. Ventilation rates should be matched to conditions. If applicable, use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to maintain airborne levels below recommended exposure limits. If exposure limits have not been established, maintain airborne levels to an acceptable level. 2 / 7
