Danger Hazard Statements MAJOR HEALTH HAZARDS: CAUSES IRREVERSIBLE EYE DAMAGE. MAY BE FATAL IF INHALED. MAY CAUSE SKIN IRRITATION. MAY CAUSE RESPIRATORY TRACT IRRITATION. HARMFUL IF SWALLOWED. MAY CAUSE BURNS TO MOIST SKIN IF NOT PROMPTLY REMOVED PHYSICAL HAZARDS: STRONG OXIDIZER. MAY INTENSIFY FIRE. Contact with water slowly liberates irritating and hazardous chlorine containing gases. Contamination with moisture, organic material, or other incompatible chemicals may start a reaction with generation of heat, liberation of hazardous gases, and possible fire and explosion. Contact with acids liberates toxic gas. Decomposes at temperatures above 464 °F with liberation of harmful gases. When ignited will burn with the evolution of chlorine and equally toxic gases. Do not get water inside container. Wet material may generate nitrogen trichloride, an explosion hazard AQUATIC TOXICITY: Very toxic to aquatic organisms. Very toxic to aquatic life with long lasting effects _____________________________________________________________________________________________ Page / 1 8 Precautionary Statements - Prevention Corrosive. Causes irreversible eye damage. May be fatal if inhaled. Do not breathe dust, vapor or spray mist . Harmful if swallowed or absorbed through skin. Do not get in eyes, on skin, or on clothing. Do not eat, drink, or smoke when using this product. Wear safety glasses with side shields, chemical splash goggles, face-shield, protective clothing, and chemical resistant gloves when handling this product . Wash thoroughly with soap and water after handling and before eating, drinking, chewing gum, using tobacco, or using the toilet. Remove contaminated clothing and wash before reuse. Use only outdoors or in a well- ventilated area. Avoid release to the environment. Collect spillage. Store in a well-ventilated place. Keep material dry and store in a dry area. Keep container tightly closed. Keep separated from incompatible substances. Store in a secure manner Precautionary Statements - Response Inhalation: This material in the form as sold is not expected to produce respiratory effects. Particles of respirable size are generally not encountered. The respirable fraction is typically less than 0.1% by weight for the granular and extra granular grades. If ground or otherwise in a powdered form, effects similar to a corrosive substance may occur. May cause severe irritation of the respiratory tract with coughing, choking, pain and possibly burns of the mucous membranes. If significant or prolonged exposure occurs, pulmonary edema may develop, either immediately or more often within a period of 5-72 hours. The symptoms may include tightness in the chest, dyspnea, frothy sputum, cyanosis, and dizziness. Physical findings may include moist rales, low blood pressure and high pulse pressure. Severe cases may be fatal Skin contact: This material is irritating to the skin. Direct contact with wet material or by moist skin may cause severe irritation, pain, and possibly burns. Dry material is less irritating than wet material. This material is not a skin sensitiser based on studies with guinea pigs Eye contact: This material is corrosive to the eye. Direct contact may cause severe irritation, pain and burns, possibly severe, and permanent damage including blindness. The degree of injury depends on the concentration and duration of contact Ingestion: Not a likely route of exposure. Harmful if swallowed. Ingestion may cause immediate pain and severe burns of the mucous membranes. There may be discoloration of the tissues. Swallowing and speech may be difficult at first and then almost impossible. The effects on the esophagus and gastrointestinal tract may range from irritation to severe corrosion. Edema of the epiglottis and shock may occur Chronic Effects: Based on animal studies, exposure to concentrations of monosodium cyanurate at the solubility limit may cause cardiovascular, kidney and urinary bladder effects Precautionary Statements - Storage Store locked up Store in a well-ventilated place. Keep container tightly closed
