4.1. Description of first aid measures
In all cases of doubt, or when symptoms persist, seek medical attention. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Inhalation
Remove to fresh air, keep patient warm and at rest. If breathing is irregular or stopped, give artificial respiration. If unconscious place in the recovery position and obtain immediate medical attention. Give nothing by mouth. Causes serious eye damage. Irrigate copiously with clean water for at least 15 minutes, holding the eyelids apart. Remove contact lenses, if present and easy to do. Continue rinsing. Seek medical attention. Remove contaminated clothing. Wash skin thoroughly with soap and water or use a recognized skin cleanser. Ingestion
Do NOT induce vomiting. Rinse mouth and slowly drink several glasses of water. Call a physician. Do NOT give anything by mouth to an unconscious or convulsing person. 4.2. Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed
Overview
Eye Contact Redness, swelling, pain, and flood of tears. Possible chemical burns and corneal damage. Skin Contact Irritation with burning, reddening, and itching. Dermatitis. Vanadyl Sulfate Solution r0 Page 2 of 8
SDS Revision Date: 09/28/2015

Safety Data Sheet
Inhalation Breathing difficulty, irritation of mucous membranes, coughing, acute reaction to vanadium salts and sulfuric-acid mists. Ingestion Chemical and irritation of the intestinal tract. Abdominal discomfort, vomiting, diarrhea, and spasms. See section 2 for further details. Causes serious eye damage. Causes skin irritation. Ingestion
Harmful if swallowed. 5. Fire-fighting measures
5.1. Extinguishing media
Use media suitable to the surrounding fire, such as water fog, dry chemical, foam, and carbon dioxide. 5.2. Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture
Wear appropriate chemically-protective equipment, such as gloves, a faceshield, goggles, and suitable body protection (see Section 8). Level B gear recommended for large releases. Hazardous decomposition: If heated or involved in a fire, toxic and irritating fumes of sulfur oxides and vanadium oxides may be formed. Prevent spilled product from entering drains, sewers, waterways, and soil. Keep only in original container. 5.3. Advice for fire-fighters
Wear proper chemically resistant protective equipment and self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) operated in positive-pressure mode. This product may release flammable hydrogen gas on contact with many common metals, which may signifi-cantly contribute to the risk of fire and explosion. Fire may result in toxic and irritating fumes. Move container from fire area if it can be done without risk. Use water spray to keep fire exposed containers cool. Keep run-off water out of sewers and water sources. ERG Guide No.
6. Accidental release measures
6.1. Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures
Put on appropriate personal protective equipment (see section 8). Wear appropriate chemically-protective equipment, such as gloves, a face shield, goggles, and suitable body protection (see Section 8). Level B gear recommended for large releases. 6.2. Environmental precautions
Prevent spilled product from entering drains, sewers, waterways, and soil. Do not allow spills to enter drains or waterways. Use good personal hygiene practices. Wash hands before eating, drinking, smoking or using toilet. Promptly remove soiled clothing and wash thoroughly before reuse. 6.3. Methods and material for containment and cleaning up
Wear appropriate chemically-protective equipment, such as gloves, a face shield, goggles, and suitable body protection (see Section 8). Level B gear recommended for large releases. Ventilate area of release. Stop leak if possible without risk. Do not touch spilled material. Dike far ahead of spill with inert diking materials. For small spills, neutralize with soda ash, absorb spill with inert, non-combustible material such as clay then place in suitable containers. For large spills, contain spill with inert, noncombustible absorbent material such as clay or earth. Remove spilled liquid with pumps into suitable containers, or absorb with dry clay and shovel into polyethylene or plastic containers. Steel or aluminum containers may react with the product and dissolve. Wash thoroughly after dealing with a spillage 7. Handling and storage

Respiratory
Use respirators approved by NIOSH/MSHA; use SAR for oxygen-deficient atmosphere. Use chemical-splash goggles and a full face shield or mask. Wear chemically-protective clothing. Use chemically-protective gloves. Engineering
Provide adequate ventilation. Where reasonably practicable this should be achieved by the use of local exhaust Controls
ventilation and good general extraction. If these are not sufficient to maintain concentrations of particulates and any vapor below occupational exposure limits suitable respiratory protection must be worn. Other Work
Do not inhale vapors or mists. Do not allow contact with eyes, skin and clothing. Do not eat, drink, smoke or use Practices

Note: Strong inorganic acid mists containing sulfuric acid are listed on the California Proposition 65 Carcinogen List. [Sulfuric acid, in and of itself,
is not listed under Proposition 65. However, if one has sulfuric acid, which through its intended use generates an acid mist that in turn contains
sulfuric acid that would meet the listing. The term "strong" does not refer to the concentration of the acid, but rather the strength of the acid. The
basis for the listing of strong inorganic acid mists containing sulfuric acid was the formal identification by the National Toxicology Program (NTP), in
its Ninth Report on Carcinogens, that this chemical mixture is "known to be a human carcinogen." (Public notice available at
http://www.oehha.ca.gov/prop65/CRNR_notices/admin_listing/intent_to_list/noil19b4.html.) ]
