Potential Acute Health Effects
Eye Contact: Corrosive to eye tissue and may cause severe damage and blindness. Skin Contact: Corrosive. May cause severe skin irritation. Prolonged contact may lead to burns and blisters and may aggravate dermatitis. May cause whitening or bleaching of the skin. Inhalation: Corrosive to the respiratory passage. Causes irritation of the mouth, nose and throat. Repeated and/or prolonged exposures may cause productive cough, running nose, bronchopneumonia, pulmonary edema (fluid build-up in lungs) and reduction of pulmonary function. If mixed with acids or warmed to temperatures greater than 40 degrees Celcius, Sodium hypochlorite solutions release chlorine gas. This gas can cause severe irritation of the nose and throat. Exposures to high levels of chlorine gas may result in severe lung damage. Ingestion: Corrosive. Causes burns to the mouth, throat and stomach. Causes vomiting, nausea, and diarrhea. Coma, shock and death may occur.
