Mercury Standard Solution Safety Data

This document provides a material safety data sheet for a mercury standard solution. It contains information on product identification, hazards, composition, safe handling and storage, exposure controls, physical properties, stability, toxicology, disposal, transport, and other safety-related details. The solution contains less than 0.01% mercury and 5% nitric acid in demineralized water. Primary hazards are from the nitric acid and contact with eyes, skin, ingestion or inhalation can cause burns. Standard personal protective equipment is sufficient in most cases.
