Other Information

DO NOT use perchloric acid in a hood designed for other purposes.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 are therefore essential.Immediate administration of an appropriate inhalation therapy by a doctor, or by an authorized person, should be considered.Rinse contaminated clothing with plenty of water because of fire hazard.NEVER pour water into this substance; when dissolving or diluting always add it slowly to the water.
