Hazard statements

Health Flammability Physical / Instability PPI / Special hazard. HMIS NFPA OX Revision Date: 04/17/2006 Page 1 of 12 360 Immediate (Acute) Health Effects Inhalation Toxicity: HARMFUL IF PRODUCT IS INHALED IN HIGH CONCENTRATIONS. CAUSES BURNS TO RESPIRATORY TRACT. Inhalation of dust or vapor from this product can be irritating to the nose, mouth, throat and lungs. In confined areas, mechanical agitation can result in high levels of dust, and reaction with incompatible materials (as listed in Section 10) can result in high concentrations of chlorine vapor, either of which may result in burns to the respiratory tract, producing lung edema, shortness of breath, wheezing, choking, chest pains, impairment of lung function and possible permanent lung damage. Skin Toxicity: CAUSES SKIN BURNS. Dermal exposure can cause severe irritation and/or burns characterized by redness, swelling, and scab formation. Prolonged skin exposure may cause permanent damage. Eye Toxicity: CAUSES BURNS TO EYES. Severe irritation and/or burns can occur following eye exposure. Direct contact may cause impairment of vision and corneal damage. Ingestion Toxicity: MAY BE FATAL IF SWALLOWED. CAUSES BURNS TO DIGESTIVE TRACT. Irritation and/or burns can occur to the entire gastrointestinal tract, including the stomach and intestines, characterized by nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, bleeding, and/or tissue ulceration or perforation. Due to the corrosive nature of this product, ingestion may be fatal.

Potential chronic health

Inhalation: Repeated inhalation exposure may cause impairment of lung function and permanent lung damage. Skin Contact: Effects similar to those from acute exposure. Effects secondary to tissue destruction may also occur upon prolonged or repeated exposure. Ingestion: There are no known or reported effects from chronic ingestion except for effects similar to those experienced from single exposure. Chronic Target Organ Toxicity: None known Supplemental Health Hazard No additional health information available. Information
