Hydrochloric acid is a corrosive chemical which can harm you by inhalation (breathing its vapors), by ingestion (swallowing it), or by feel with the skin or eyes. Hydrochloric acid is a colorless or yellow liquid which has a sharp, pungent odor and gives off fumes.

A spill should be responded to by trained personnel following containment and clean up procedures. The original goal is to safe people, then clear the area, and consist of the spill. The allowable personal protective tool should be used and way to the area should be denied. All employees should have regular training in spill control as well as first aid measures to be taken in case of injury.

Prolonged exposure to the mist or vapor from concentrated solutions can cause ulcers and burns in the nose and throat. Breathing these fumes can cause coughing, choking and respiratory difficulty. Severe exposure for just a few minutes may supervene in a life threatening accumulation of fluid in the lungs (pulmonary edema) and lead to respiratory collapse and death. These severe symptoms may not appear for some hours after exposure.

Swallowing - Ingestion

If swallowed, it can cause corrosive burns to mouth, throat, esophagus and stomach. It causes swallowing difficulty, intense thirst, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and, in severe cases, collapse and death. If a small amount of acid enters the lung during ingestion or aspiration during vomiting, it can cause serious lung damage leading to death.

Eyes

It irritates the eyes causes burns of the surface of the eye which may supervene in blindness. Very low concentrations of hydrochloric acid vapors or mist can be immediately irritating, causing flush of the eyes.

Skin

Hydrochloric Acid can cause severe irritation and burning of the skin which may supervene in blistering and permanent scars. Continued and repeated exposure to dilute solutions often causes irritation, redness, pain, drying and cracking of the skin.
