STABILITY & REACTIVITY STABILITY/CONDITIONS TO AVOID: INCOMPATIBILITY (MATERIALS TO AVOID): HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION OR BY-PRODUCTS: HAZARDOUS POLYMERIZATION: Nitric acid is a strong oxidizing agent. Chemical reactions with reducing agents is a source of additional heat. Organic materials, reducing agents, and bases Oxides of nitrogen Will not occur 11. TOXICOLOGY INFORMATION PRODUCT TOXICOLOGY INFORMATION: Acute toxicity: Skin corrosion/irritation: Serious eye damage/irritation: Respiratory or skin sensitization: Germ cell mutagenicity: Carcinogenicity: Reproductive toxicity: STOT-single exposure: STOT-repeated exposure; Aspiration hazard: May cause burns to skin, eyes or mucous membranes. Corrosive to skin May cause serious eye damage In case of contact, wash skin with copious amounts of water. Flush eyes with copious amounts of water for at least 15 minutes. If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical attention.
