EYES:
IMMEDIATELY FLUSH WITH LARGE AMOUNTS OF WATER FOR AT LEAST 15 MINUTES,
OCCASIONALLY LIFTING THE UPPER AND LOWER EYELIDS. CALL A PHYSICIAN AT ONCE.
SKIN:
IMMEDIATELY FLUSH WITH WATER FOR AT LEAST 15 MINUTES. CALL A PHYSICIAN. IF
CLOTHING COMES IN CONTACT WITH THE PRODUCT, THE CLOTHING, SHOULD BE REMOVED
IMMEDIATELY AND SHOULD BE LAUNDERED BEFORE RE-USE.
INGESTION:
IMMEDIATELY DRINK LARGE QUANTITIES OF WATER. DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. CALL A
PHYSICIAN AT ONCE. DO NOT GIVE ANYTHING BY MOUTH IF THE PERSON IS UNCONSCIOUS OR
IF HAVING CONVULSIONS.
INHALATION:
IF PERSON EXPERIENCES NAUSEA, HEADACHE OR DIZZINESS, PERSON SHOULD STOP WORK
IMMEDIATELY AND MOVE TO FRESH AIR UNTIL THESE SYMPTOMS DISAPPEAR. IF BREATHING
IS DIFFICULT, ADMINISTER OXYGEN, KEEP THE PERSON WARM AND AT REST. CALL A
PHYSICIAN. IN THE EVENT THAT AN INDIVIDUAL INHALES ENOUGH VAPOR TO LOSE
CONSCIOUSNESS, PERSON SHOULD BE MOVED TO FRESH AIR AT ONCE AND A PHYSICIAN
SHOULD BE CALLED IMMEDIATELY. IF BREATHING HAS STOPPED, ARTIFICIAL RESPIRATION
SHOULD BE GIVEN IMMEDIATELY. IN ALL CASES, ENSURE ADEQUATE VENTILATION AND
PROVIDE RESPIRATORY PROTECTION BEFORE THE PERSON RETURNS TO WORK.
NOTE TO PHYSICIAN:
FLUORIDE ION FOUND IN HYDROFLUORIC ACID READILY PENETRATES THE SKIN AND OTHER
TISSUES CAUSING DESTRUCTION OF DEEP TISSUE LAYERS INCLUDING BONE. TREATMENT IS
DIRECTED TOWARD TYING UP THE FLUORIDE ION AND CAN BE ACCOMPLISHED BY THE USE OF
QUATERNARY AMMONIUM COMPOUNDS (SUCH AS BENZALKONIUM OR BENZETHONIUM CHLORIDE) OR
CALCIUM GLUCONATE. THE EFFECTS OF CONTACT WITH HYDROFLUORIC ACID OR ITS VAPORS
MAY BE DELAYED. LIFE THREATENING HYPOCALCEMIA CAN RESULT FROM EXPOSURE AND
SHOULD BE SEARCHED FOR AND AGGRESSIVELY TREATED WHEN PRESENT.
Return to MSDS Contents Return to Search Page
ROUTES OF ABSORPTION:
ORAL, DERMAL, INHALATION, EYE CONTACT
WARNING STATEMENTS AND WARNING PROPERTIES:
CORROSIVE TO ALL TISSUES CONTACTED INCLUDING SKIN. BURNS MAY BE DELAYED IN
ONSET AND NOT BE READILY VISIBLE. MAY BE FATAL IF SWALLOWED. HARMFUL OR
FATAL IF INHALED. MAY CAUSE BONE DAMAGE BASED ON ANIMAL DATA.
HUMAN DOSE RESPONSE DATA:
ODOR THRESHOLD: THE ODOR THRESHOLD FOR HYDROGEN FLUORIDE HAS BEEN REPORTED
TO BE 0.042 PPM.
IRRITATION THRESHOLD: HYDROFLUORIC ACID IS DIFFERENT THAN MANY ACIDS IN
THAT IT MAY CAUSE EFFECTS THAT ARE NOT READILY OBSERVED. THEREFORE,
IRRITATION THRESHOLD FOR THE ACID ITSELF IS NOT RELEVANT.
REPEATED EXPOSURE TO HYDROGEN FLUORIDE GAS FOR 6 HOURS/DAY, 5 DAYS/WEEK
FOR 15 DAYS AT CONCENTRATIONS BETWEEN 2.1 AND 3.9 MG/CUBIC METER HAS BEEN
SHOWN TO CAUSE SLIGHT IRRITATION OF THE EXPOSED SKIN, EYES AND NOSE IN
HUMANS.
IMMEDIATELY DANGEROUS TO LIFE OR HEALTH: THE IDLH FOR HYDROGEN FLUORIDE
IS 20 PPM IN AIR.
SIGNS, SYMPTOMS, AND EFFECTS OF EXPOSURE:
INHALATION
ACUTE:
INHALATION OF HYDROFLUORIC ACID MIST OR HYDROGEN FLUORIDE GAS MAY CAUSE
SEVERE IRRITATION OF THE MUCOUS MEMBRANES AND RESPIRATOR TRACT. ACUTE
SYMPTOMS MAY INCLUDE BURNING OF THE NOSE, THROAT AND UPPER RESPIRATORY
TRACT, NASAL CONGESTION, COUGHING, CHOKING, CHILLS, CHEST TIGHTNESS AND
BRONCHITIS.
HIGH CONCENTRATIONS IN AIR MAY CAUSE RAPID INFLAMMATION AND CONGESTION OF
THE LUNGS AS WELL AS SEVERE BREATHING DIFFICULTIES THAT MAY RESULT IN
PULMONARY EDEMA. SEVERE RESPIRATORY EFFECTS MAY BE DELAYED IN ONSET (AFTER
THE EXPOSURE HAS CEASED).
INHALATION MAY RESULT IN THE FLUORIDE ION BINDING WITH CALCIUM TO PRODUCE
ABNORMALLY LOW LEVELS OF SERUM CALCIUM WHICH WILL IMPAIR MANY NECESSARY
PHYSIOLOGICAL FUNCTIONS IN THE BODY, FOR EXAMPLE, MUSCLE CONTRACTION.
CHRONIC:
FLUOROSIS MAY OCCUR WHICH IS CHARACTERIZED BY INCREASED DENSITY OF BONE.
FLUORIDE MAY ALSO DEPOSIT IN TENDONS, LIGAMENTS AND MUSCLES. SUCH
DEPOSITION MAY RESULT IN CRIPPLING EFFECTS. NAUSEA, VOMITING, LOSS OF
APPETITE, DIARRHEA OR CONSTIPATION CAN OCCUR. MOTTLING OF TEETH CAN OCCUR.
SKIN
ACUTE:
CONTACT WITH THE LIQUID OR HIGH CONCENTRATIONS IN THE AIR MAY BE CORROSIVE
WITH SEVERE BURNS WITH LOCALIZED DESTRUCTION OF TISSUE. THIS MAY RESULT IN
DEEP TISSUE DESTRUCTION AND POSSIBLE DECALCIFICATION OF BONE. EFFECTS ARE
OFTEN DELAYED IN ONSET (2 TO 24 HOURS). INITIAL SIGNS MAY BE A BURNING
SENSATION OR STEADY THROBBING PAIN. IF THE NAILS ARE INVOLVED, THE BURN
MAY INITIALLY APPEAR AS A BLUE-BLACK DISCOLORATION OF THE NAIL BED WITH
SIGNIFICANT PAIN.
CHRONIC:
EFFECTS OF ACUTE EXPOSURE MAY APPEAR DELAYED IN ONSET. IF A SIGNIFICANT
EXPOSURE HAS OCCURRED IT MAY RESULT IN THE FLUORIDE ION BINDING WITH
CALCIUM TO PRODUCE ABNORMALLY LOW LEVELS OF SERUM CALCIUM WHICH WILL
IMPAIR MANY NECESSARY PHYSIOLOGICAL FUNCTIONS IN THE BODY, FOR EXAMPLE,
MUSCLE CONTRACTIONS.
FLUOROSIS MAY OCCUR WHICH IS CHARACTERIZED BY INCREASED DENSITY OF BONE.
FLUORIDE MAY ALSO DEPOSIT IN TENDONS, LIGAMENTS AND MUSCLES. SUCH
DEPOSITION MAY RESULT IN CRIPPLING EFFECTS. NAUSEA, VOMITING, LOSS OF
APPETITE, DIARRHEA OR CONSTIPATION CAN OCCUR. MOTTLING OF TEETH CAN OCCUR.
EYE
ACUTE:
CONTACT WITH EYES MAY CAUSE SEVERE IRRITATION AND BE CORROSIVE (BURNS)
WITH POSSIBLE PERMANENT EYE DAMAGE AND IMPAIRMENT OF VISION.
INGESTION
ACUTE:
INGESTION MAY RESULT IN SEVERE BURNS OF THE MOUTH, THROAT AND STOMACH.
EFFECTS MAY INCLUDE SEVERE SWELLING OF THE ORAL MUCOSA, NAUSEA, VOMITING,
PAIN, DIARRHEA, BLEEDING, ULCERATION AND MAY BE FATAL.
INGESTION MAY, ALSO, RESULT IN THE FLUORIDE ION BINDING WITH CALCIUM TO
PRODUCE ABNORMALLY LOW LEVELS OF SERUM CALCIUM WHICH WILL IMPAIR MANY
NECESSARY PHYSIOLOGICAL FUNCTION IN THE BODY, FOR EXAMPLE, MUSCLE
CONTRACTIONS.
CHRONIC:
FLUOROSIS MAY OCCUR WHICH IS CHARACTERIZED BY INCREASED DENSITY OF BONE.
FLUORIDE MAY ALSO DEPOSIT IN TENDONS, LIGAMENTS AND MUSCLES. SUCH
DEPOSITION MAY RESULT IN CRIPPLING EFFECTS. NAUSEA, VOMITING, LOSS OF
APPETITE, DIARRHEA OR CONSTIPATION CAN OCCUR. MOTTLING OF TEETH CAN OCCUR.
MEDICAL CONDITIONS AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE:
ASTHMA, EMPHYSEMA AND OTHER RESPIRATORY DISEASES.
INTERACTIONS WITH OTHER CHEMICALS WHICH ENHANCE TOXICITY:
NONE KNOWN OR REPORTED
ANIMAL TOXICOLOGY
ACUTE TOXICITY:
ORAL LD 50: NO AVAILABLE DATA
DERMAL LD 50: NO AVAILABLE DATA
INHALATION LC 50: 1276 PPM/1 HOUR (RAT)
AQUATIC TOXICITY:
FLUORIDE IS A NATURAL CONSTITUENT OF MANY INFLUENT WATERS BECAUSE IT IS
ADDED TO MANY MUNICIPAL WATER SUPPLIED. THERE IS SOME EVIDENCE IN THE
LITERATURE THAT VALUES OF 1.5 MG FLUORIDE/LITER OF WATER MAY CAUSE SLIGHT
EFFECTS ON SOME SPECIES OF FISH. AT LEVELS GREATER THAN 100 MG
FLUORIDE/LITER OF WATER, LETHALITY IN SEVERAL SPECIES HAS BEEN REPORTED.
ACUTE TARGET ORGAN EFFECTS IN LABORATORY ANIMALS:
THE PRIMARY TOXIC EFFECT OF ACUTE HYDROGEN FLUORIDE OR HYDROFLUORIC ACID
EXPOSURE IN LABORATORY ANIMALS IS ON THE RESPIRATORY SYSTEM. SHORT
EXPOSURES OF UP TO 3 HOURS AT CONCENTRATION OF 200-20,000 MG/CUBIC-METER
RESULTED IN SEVERE IRRITATION OF THE RESPIRATORY TRACTS AND EYES OF
RABBITS, DOGS, GUINEA PIGS, RAT, AND MICE, FOLLOWED BY DEATH IN MOST OF
THE EXPOSED ANIMALS. SEVERAL ANIMAL STUDIES HAVE SHOWN THAT INHALATION OF
HIGH CONCENTRATIONS OF HYDROGEN FLUORIDE OR DIRECT CONTACT RESULTS IN
INCREASED DEPOSITION OF FLUORIDE IN THE BONES.
CHRONIC TARGET ORGAN EFFECTS IN LABORATORY ANIMALS:
NO CHRONIC TOXICITY DATA IN LABORATORY ANIMALS IS AVAILABLE ON HYDROGEN
FLUORIDE OR HYDROFLUORIC ACID. HOWEVER, REPEATED EXPOSURE EXPERIMENTS IN
LABORATORY ANIMALS HAVE SHOWN SIMILAR TARGET ORGAN EFFECTS AS IN ACUTE
EXPERIMENTS. RATS, MICE, GUINEA PIGS, RABBITS, AND DOGS EXPOSED AT
CONCENTRATIONS OF HYDROGEN FLUORIDE OF 25 MG/CUBIC-METER FOR 6 HOURS/DAY,
6 DAYS/WEEK FOR 5 WEEKS SHOWED PULMONARY EDEMA AND HEMORRHAGE. CORNEAL
ULCERATIONS OCCURRED IN LABORATORY ANIMALS AT REPEATED EXPOSURES AS LOW AS
8 MG/CUBIC-METER. REPEATED EXPOSURES OF LABORATORY ANIMALS HAS ALSO SHOWN
TO CAUSE EFFECTS ON THE KIDNEY AND LIVER AT EXPOSURES AS LOW AS 15
MG/CUBIC-METER.
DEVELOPMENTAL AND REPRODUCTIVE TOXICITY:
IN ADDITION TO HEMORRHAGE AND EDEMA OF THE LUNG, DEGENERATIVE TESTICULAR
CHANGES AND ULCERATION OF THE SCROTUM WERE NOTED IN DOGS EXPOSED FOR 5
WEEKS AT 6 HOURS/DAY, 6 DAYS/WEEK TO 25 MG/CUBIC-METER HYDROGEN FLUORIDE
GAS. THE AMERICAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION ADVISORY PANEL ON REPRODUCTIVE
HAZARDS IN THE WORKPLACE DOES NOT BELIEVE THAT HUMAN EXPOSURES AT OR BELOW
RECOMMENDED WORKPLACE LIMITS WILL RESULT IN A RISK TO THE MOTHER OR FETUS.
CARCINOGENICITY:
HYDROGEN FLUORIDE AND HYDROFLUORIC ACID ARE NOT LISTED AS CARCINOGENS BY
IARC, NTP, OSHA, EPA OR ANY OTHER REGULATORY AUTHORITY.
MUTAGENICITY:
THERE ARE SOME REPORTS IN LITERATURE THAT SUGGEST THAT EXPOSURE TO
HYDROGEN FLUORIDE MAY PRODUCE EFFECTS ON GENETIC MATERIAL. THESE TESTS
HAVE NOT BEEN WELL SUBSTANTIATED AND ARE NOT CONCLUSIVE ON THE MUTAGENIC
POTENTIAL FOR HUMANS.
