Emergency Overview
--------------------------
POISON! DANGER! CORROSIVE. EXTREMELY HAZARDOUS LIQUID
AND VAPOR. CAUSES SEVERE BURNS WHICH MAY NOT BE
IMMEDIATELY PAINFUL OR VISIBLE. MAY BE FATAL IF
SWALLOWED OR INHALED. LIQUID AND VAPOR CAN BURN SKIN,
EYES AND RESPIRATORY TRACT. CAUSES BONE DAMAGE.
Inhalation:
Severely corrosive to the respiratory tract. May cause sore throat, coughing,
labored breathing and lung congestion/inflammation, where symptoms may
include severe burns of the mouth, throat, and stomach, leading to death.
Ingestion:
Corrosive. May cause sore throat, abdominal pain, diarrhea, vomiting, severe
burns of the digestive tract, and kidney dysfunction.
Skin Contact:
Corrosive to the skin. Skin contact causes serious skin burns which may not be
immediately apparent or painful. Symptoms may be delayed 8 hours or longer.
The fluoride ion readily penetrates the skin causing destruction of deep tissue
layers and even bone.
Eye Contact:
Corrosive to the eyes. Symptoms of redness, pain, blurred vision, and permanent
eye damage may occur.
Chronic Exposure:
Intake of more than 6 mg of fluorine per day may result in fluorosis, bone and
joint damage. Hypocalcemia and hypomagnesemia can occur from absorption of
fluoride ion into blood stream.
Aggravation of Pre-existing Conditions:
Persons with pre-existing skin disorders, eye problems, or impaired kidney or
respiratory function may be more susceptible to the effects of this substance.
Inhalation:
Get medical help immediately. If patient is unconscious, give artificial respiration
or use inhalator. Keep patient warm and resting, and send to hospital after first aid
is complete.
Ingestion:
If swallowed, DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. Give large quantities of water.
Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Get medical attention
immediately.
Skin Contact:
1) Remove the victim from the contaminated area and immediately place him
under a safety shower or wash him with a water hose, whichever is available. 2)
Remove all contaminated clothing. Handle all HF-contaminated material with
gloves made of appropriate material, such as PVC or neoprene. 3) Keep washing
with large amounts of water for a minimum of 15 minutes. 4) Have someone
make arrangements for medical attention while you continue flushing the affected
area with water. 5) If the following materials are available, limit the washing to
five minutes and immerse the burned area in a solution of 0.2% iced aqueous
Hyamine 1622 or 0.13% iced aqueous Zephiran Chloride. If immersion is not
practical, towels should be soaked with one of the above solutions and used as
compresses for the burn area. Ideally compresses should be changed every 2
minutes. Alternately, 2.5% calcium gluconate gel should be massaged into the
affected area. 6) Seek medical attention as soon as possible for all burns
regardless of how minor they may appear initially. Hyamine 1622 is a trade name
for tetracaine benzethonium chloride, Merck Index Monograph 1078, a
Eye Contact:
1) Irrigate eyes for at least 30 minutes with copious quantities of water, keeping
the eyelids apart and away from eyeballs during irrigation. 2) Get competent
medical attention immediately, preferably an eye specialist. 3) If a physician is
not immediately available, apply one or two drops of ophthalmic anesthetic, (e.g.,
0.5% Pontocaine Hydrochloride solution). 4) Do not use oily drops, ointment or
HF skin burn treatments. Place ice pack on eyes until reaching emergency room.
Note to Physician:
General: For burns of moderate areas, (greater than 8 square inches), ingestion
and significant inhalation exposure, severe systemic effects may occur, and
admission to a critical care unit should be considered. Monitor and correct for
hypocalcemia, cardiac arrhythmias, hypomagnesemia and hyperkalemia. In some
cases renal dialysis may be indicated.
Skin: For deep skin burns or contact with concentrated HF (over 50%) solution,
consider infiltration about the affected area with 5% calcium gluconate [equal
parts of 10% calcium gluconate and sterile saline for injection]. Burns beneath the
nail may require splitting the nail and application of calcium gluconate to the
exposed nail bed. For certain burns, especially of the digits, use of intra-arterial
calcium gluconate may be indicated.

Ventilation System:
A system of local and/or general exhaust is recommended to keep employee
exposures as low as possible. Local exhaust ventilation is generally preferred
because it can control the emissions of the contaminant at its source, preventing
dispersion of it into the general work area. Please refer to the ACGIH document,
Industrial Ventilation, A Manual of Recommended Practices, most recent edition,
for details.
Personal Respirators (NIOSH Approved):
If the exposure limit is exceeded, a full facepiece respirator with an acid gas
cartridge may be worn up to 50 times the exposure limit or the maximum use

concentration specified by the appropriate regulatory agency or respirator
supplier, whichever is lowest. For emergencies or instances where the exposure
levels are not known, use a full-facepiece positive-pressure, air-supplied
respirator. WARNING: Air purifying respirators do not protect workers in
oxygen-deficient atmospheres. Since the IDLH is low (30 ppm), the above
cartridge system is not specifically approved for HF. (3M Respirator Selection
Guide)
Skin Protection:
Wear protective clothing, including boots or safety shoes with polyvinyl chloride
(PVC) or neoprene. Use chemical goggles and/or a full face shield. Wear
coveralls with long sleeves, gauntlets and gloves of PVC or neoprene. A high
degree of protection is obtained with an air-inflated suit with mask and safety belt.
Use protection suitable for conditions.
Eye Protection:
Use chemical safety goggles and/or full face shield where splashing is possible.
Maintain eye wash fountain and quick drench facilities in work area.
