Hazard statements

Health Flammability Physical / Instability PPI / Special hazard. HMIS 3 0 1 NFPA 3 0 1 OX 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: DRY MATERIAL CAUSES MODERATE SKIN IRRITATION. WET MATERIAL CAUSES SKIN BURNS. Dermal exposure to dry material causes moderate skin irritation characterized by redness and swelling. Dermal exposure to wet material 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: MODERATELY TOXIC 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. Significant exposure to this material can lead to serious health effects and/or death. Acute Target Organ Toxicity: This product is corrosive to all tissues contacted and upon inhalation, may cause irritation to mucous membranes and respiratory tract., The dry material is irritating to the skin. However when wet, it will produce burns to the skin.

Potential chronic health

Carcinogenicity: This product is not known or reported to be carcinogenic by any reference source including IARC, OSHA, NTP or EPA. Reproductive and No reproductive or developmental risk to humans is expected from Developmental Toxicity: exposure to this product. Inhalation: Repeated inhalation exposure may cause impairment of lung function and permanent lung damage. Skin Contact: Effects similar to those from acute exposure. In addition, chronic exposure to wet material may cause effects secondary to tissue destruction. Ingestion: There are no known or reported effects from chronic ingestion except for effects similar to those experienced from single exposure. The acute corrosivity of this product, makes chronic ingestion of significant amounts unlikely. Sensitization: This material is not known or reported to be a skin or respiratory sensitizer. Chronic Target Organ Toxicity: There are no known or reported effects from repeated exposure except those secondary to burns. Supplemental Health Hazard No additional health information available.
