Blog about MSDS and ToxNet

I was not able to obtain an MSDS from a friend or relative. I looked up USF on-line MSDS. My twin brother's wife is a bioengineer, and I looked up succinic acid on this website https://msdsmanagement.msdsonline.com/c81d1269-21dd-4be9-9d4b-d3479c784635/ebinder/?SearchTerm=&UserSearchSuggestID=0&DocumentSourceTypeID=0&DocumentApprovalTypeID=0&ArchivedStatus=A&LocationLevel=0&LocationID=0&LocationStatus=1&GroupID=0&IndexedDataTypeID=0&IndexedDataID=0&QuickFilterTypeID=0&ReturnNarrowResults=false&SmartSearchTermID=0&PageSize=100&PageNumber=1&SortFieldID=0&SortHow=desc&CustomSearchTerm=&ManualSearch=false



The chemical is dangerous to the eyes and skin. Therefore, eyeglasses, gloves or full-body suit is recommended for protection. Inhaling is also harmful. In the case of most contacts, it is recommended to rinse the exposed area. The product is not cancerogenic under appropriate doses: "No component of this product present at levels greater than or equal to 0.1% is identified as probable, possible or confirmed human carcinogen by IARC."
On the ToxNet website, all the information matched. There were more details and more description of animal studies, but nothing that might contradict MSDS.
Conclusively, I asked my sister in law, and she confirmed that she received proper training and always used personal protection against hazardous exposures.
