| TYPES OF HAZARD / EXPOSURE |
ACUTE HAZARDS / SYMPTOMS | PREVENTION | FIRST AID / FIRE FIGHTING |
| FIRE | Flammable. Explosive. | NO open flames, NO sparks, and NO smoking. NO contact with flammable substances. NO contact with hot surfaces. | Water spray. |
| EXPLOSION | Above 40.5°C explosive vapour/air mixtures may be formed. | Above 40.5°C use a closed system, ventilation, and explosion-proof electrical equipment. Do NOT expose to friction or shock. | In case of fire: keep drums, etc., cool by spraying with water. Combat fire from a sheltered position. |
| EXPOSURE | AVOID ALL CONTACT! | ||
| Inhalation | Burning sensation. Cough. Laboured breathing. Shortness of breath. Sore throat. Symptoms may be delayed (see Notes). | Ventilation, local exhaust, or breathing protection. | Fresh air, rest. Half-upright position. Refer for medical attention. See Notes. |
| Skin | MAY BE ABSORBED! Redness. Pain. Blisters. Skin burns. | Protective gloves. Protective clothing. | First rinse with plenty of water, then remove contaminated clothes and rinse again. Refer for medical attention. |
| Eyes | Redness. Pain. Severe deep burns. | Face shield or eye protection in combination with breathing protection. | First rinse with plenty of water for several minutes (remove contact lenses if easily possible), then take to a doctor. |
| Ingestion | Abdominal pain. Burning sensation. Shock or collapse. | Do not eat, drink, or smoke during work. | Rinse mouth. Do NOT induce vomiting. Refer for medical attention. |
| SPILLAGE DISPOSAL | PACKAGING & LABELLING | Evacuate danger area! Consult an expert! Collect leaking liquid in covered plastic containers. Absorb remaining liquid in sand or inert absorbent and remove to safe place. Do NOT absorb in saw-dust or other combustible absorbents. Do NOT wash away into sewer. Personal protection: chemical protection suit including self-contained breathing apparatus. Do NOT let this chemical enter the environment. | O Symbol C Symbol N Symbol R: 7-10-20/21/22-35-50 S: (1/2-)3/7-14-36/37/39-45-61 Note: B, D UN Hazard Class: 5.2 UN Pack Group: II |

Fireproof. Provision to contain effluent from fire extinguishing. Separated from combustible and reducing substances, incompatible materials. See Chemical Dangers. Cool. Store only if stabilized. |
| IMPORTANT DATA | Physical State; Appearance COLOURLESS LIQUID, WITH CHARACTERISTIC ODOUR. Chemical dangers Occupational exposure limits |
Routes of exposure The substance can be absorbed into the body by inhalation, through the skin and by ingestion. Inhalation risk Effects of short-term exposure |
| PHYSICAL PROPERTIES | ENVIRONMENTAL DATA | Boiling point: 105°C Melting point: 0°C Relative density (water = 1): 1.2 Solubility in water: miscible Vapour pressure, kPa at 20°C: 2.6 Relative vapour density (air = 1): 2.6 Relative density of the vapour/air-mixture at 20°C (air = 1): 1.04 Flash point: 40.5°C o.c. Auto-ignition temperature: 200°C Explosive limits, vol% in air: see Notes |
The substance is very toxic to aquatic organisms. |
| NOTES | Peracetic acid is always sold in solution with acetic acid and hydrogen peroxide. Explosive limits are unknown in literature, although the substance is combustible and has a flash point <61°C. Rinse contaminated clothes (fire hazard) with plenty of water. The symptoms of lung oedema often do not become manifest until a few hours have passed and they are aggravated by physical effort. Rest and medical observation is therefore essential. An added stabilizer or inhibitor can influence the toxicological properties of this substance, consult an expert. Card has been partly updated in April 2005. See sections Occupational Exposure Limits, EU classification, Emergency Response. |
