1 glacial acetic acid_

Glacial acetic acid has a distinctively strong and sharp smell. With a boiling point of approximately 118 degrees Celsius, it can easily evaporate into the air, releasing fumes that can irritate the respiratory system. Its low pH level indicates its acidity; when exposed to water or moisture, it forms acetic acid, which is corrosive and can cause severe burns to the skin, eyes, and mucous membranes. Even brief exposure to glacial acetic acid can lead to tissue destruction.

In the event of exposure, the MSDS outlines the required first-aid measures. For skin contact, immediate rinsing with copious amounts of water for at least 15 minutes is crucial. If the substance is ingested, do not induce vomiting; seek medical attention immediately. If inhaled, moving the affected individual to fresh air and seeking medical attention is recommended.
