At all'times It should be confined to the process equipment. Handling and storage are not approprlate activities. Protect against water. In the event of a release wear full protective clothing, If exposure is low,acid gas canister may be satisfactory or a self-contained breathing apparatus In the pressure demand mode or a supplied air respirator. Consult the respirator manufacturer to determine the appropriate type of equipment for a given application. In any event always wear eye protection. SECTION 8 EXPOSURE CONTROLSIPERSONAL PROTECTION Ventilation Protection: Not appropriate. Respiratory Protection: Depends on We of exposure,can range from none to full protection. Full-face respirator with acid gas canister,self- contained breathing apparatus,or positive pressure hose mask,or air-line supplied with clean compressed air, Protective Clothing: Wear acid resistant slicker suit,rubber dothing with rubber hood or broad soft hat,rubber apron,rubber gloves,rubber boots,chemical splash-proof goggles and full face shield, Stilt Material Performance: (suggested by E.P.A.--user should determine by specific use) Butyl Poor ButytlNeoprene Good CPE Excellent Chlorobutyl Good Neoprene Good Eye Protection: Chemical splash-proof goggles and full face shield.

SECTION ••SAL CONSIDERATIONS Waste disposal Procedures: If possible,avoid pouring or spraying water directly onto strong Sulfuric Aad. This ALWAYS results in a violent chemical reaction. It Is always best to slowly pour the acid into water during disposal operations to avoid a violent reaction and splattering of add. If water must be sprayed Into the add for dilution,flushing,eta.It should always be done from a distance with proper protective gear.
