Potential Acute Health Effects
Very hazardous in case of skin contact (irritant), of eye contact (irritant), of ingestion, . Hazardous in case of skin contact(corrosive), of eye contact (corrosive). Slightly hazardous in case of inhalation (lung sensitizer). Non- corrosive for lungs. Liquid or spray mist may produce tissue damage particularly on mucous membranes of eyes, mouth and respiratory tract. Skin contact may produce burns. Inhalation of the spray mist may produce severe irritation of respiratory tract, characterized by coughing, choking, or shortness of breath. Prolonged exposure may result in skin burns and ulcerations. Over-exposure by inhalation may cause respiratory irritation. Inflammation of the eye is characterized by redness, watering, and itching. Skin inflammation is characterized by itching, scaling, reddening, or, occasionally, blistering.
Potential chronic health
Effects Slightly hazardous in case of skin contact (sensitizer). CARCINOGENIC EFFECTS Classified 3 (Not classifiable for human.)by IARC [Sodium hypochlorite].
