Methods and materials for containment and clean up
Absorb with liquid-binding material (sand, diatomite, acid binders, universal binders, sawdust).
Use neutralising agent.
Dispose contaminated material as waste according to item 13.
Ensure adequate ventilation.
7. Handling and Storage
Precautions for safe handling
Ensure good ventilation/exhaustion at the workplace.
Prevent formation of aerosols.
Conditions for safe storage
Keep container tightly sealed.
8. Exposure Controls / Personal Protection
Exposure Standards
Material

7647-01-0 hydrogen chloride
Peak limitation 5ppm
7.5mg/m³
Engineering controls
Keep away from foodstuffs, beverages and feed.
Immediately remove all soiled and contaminated clothing.
Wash hands before breaks and at the end of work.
Avoid contact with the eyes.
Avoid contact with the eyes and skin.
Personal protective equipment
Eye and face protection
Tightly sealed goggles.
Skin protection
Protective gloves. The glove material has to be impermeable and resistant to the product/the substance/the preparation. Selection of the glove material on consideration of the penetration times, rates of diffusion and the degradation. The exact break through time has to be found out by the manufacturer of the protective gloves and has to be observed.
Body protection
Protective clothing.
Respiratory protection
In case of brief exposure or low pollution se respiratory filter device. In case of intensive or longer exposure use self-contaminated respiratory protective device.

11. Toxicological Information
Acute effects
No further relevant information available.
Eye contact
Strong caustic effect.
Strong irritant with the danger of severe eye injury.
Skin contact
Strong caustic effect on skin and mucous membranes.
Ingestion
Swallowing will lead to strong caustic effect on mouth and throat and to the danger of perforation of oesophagus and stomach.
Inhalation
No sensitizing effects known.
Toxicity and irritation
No further relevant information available.
12. Ecological Information
Ecotoxicity
No further relevant information available.
Persistence and degradability
No further relevant information available.
Bioaccumulative potential
No further relevant information available.
Other adverse effects
Not hazardous for water.
Must not reach sewage water or drainage ditch undiluted or unneutralised.
Rinse off of bigger amounts into drains or the aquatic environment may lead to decreased pH-levels. A Low pH-value harms aquatic organisms. In the dilution of the use-level the pH-value is considerably decreased, so that after the use of the product the aqueous waste, emptied into drains, is only low water-dangerous.
13. Disposal Considerations
