| HEALTH HAZARD INFORMATION: |
Ingestion causes severe burns of the mucous membranes of the mouth, esophagus and stomach, pain in the throat and stomach with difficulty in swallowing, intense thirst, nausea and vomiting followed by diarrhea are common.

Repeated skin contact with diluted product may lead to the development of dermatitis. Inhalation of excessive concentration of vapours or mists produces severe irritation of respiratory tract with coughing, burning of the throat and a choking sensation. Inhalation may be fatal in very high concentrations.
Chronic:
Chronic ingestion may produce fatal effects from esophageal or gastric necrosis. Dental discoloration and erosion of exposed teeth occur on prolonged exposure to low concentrations of hydrochloric acid vapours. Eye exposures may result in prolonged or permanent visual impairment or total loss of sight. Chronic skin exposures can yield ulceration and subsequent scarring. The irritant effect of vapours on the respiratory tract may produce laryngitis, glottal edema, bronchitis, pulmonary edema and death. Inhalation of vapours may aggravate existing medical conditions of the respiratory tract such as asthma
