Effects of Exposure: ACUTE: INHALATION: CALCIUM HYPOCHLORITE DUST AND
DEPOSITION OF PARTICLES IN RESPIRATORY TRACT CAN LEAD TO TISSUE IRRITATION
AND CAUSE VARIETY OF EFFECTS. THE EFFECTS DEPEND ON CONCENTRATION AND INCLU
DE: UPPER RESPIRATORY TRACT IRRITATION, NASAL CONGESTION, COUGHING, SORE
THROAT, LARYNGITIS, SHORTNESS OF BREATH. IN OPERATIONS INVOLVING HIGH
CONCENTRATIONS OF RESPIRABLE PARTICULATES, PULMONARY EDEM A (FLUID IN THE
LUNG) MAY BE PRODUCED. IF NOT TREATED IMMEDIATELY, PULMONARY EDEMA CAN BE
LIFE THREATENING. SINCE PRODUCT IS IN GRANULAR FORM, PARTICLES OF RESPIRABLE

Explanation Of Carcinogenicity: CHRONIC EFFECTS/ CARCINOGENICITY: THIS PRODUCT
IS NOT LISTED AS A CARCINOGEN OR SUSPECTED CARCINOGEN BY NTP, IARC, OR OSHA.
Signs And Symptions Of Overexposure: HEALTH HAZARDS ACUTE AND CHRONIC (CONT):
EYE / SKIN: CALCIUM HYPOCHLORITE IS CORROSIVE TO THE EYES. CONTACT OF CALCIUM
HYPOCHLORITE DUST WITH THE EYES, EVEN A MINUTE AMOUNT FOR A SHORT DURATION,
CAN C AUSE SEVERE IRRITATION AND EVEN BLINDNESS. CONTACT WITH THE SKIN MAY
CAUSE SEVERE IRRITATION, BURNS, OR TISSUE DESTRUCTION. IN STUDIES UTILIZING
RABBITS, THE SKIN IRRITATION SCORE WAS 8/8 AND THE EYE IRRITATION SCORE WAS
98.5/110. INGESTION: CALCIUM HYPOCHLORITE, IF SWALLOWED, CAUSES SEVERE BURNS

ARTIFICIAL RESPIRATION, PREFERABLY MOUTH-TO-MOUTH. IF BREATHING DIFFICULT,
GIVE OXYGEN. CALL A PHYSICIAN. EYE / SKIN CONTACT: IN CASE OF C ONTACT,
IMMEDIATELY FLUSH EYES AND SKIN WITH PLENTY OF WATER (SOAP AND WATER FOR
SKIN) FOR AT LEAST 15 MINUTES, WHILE REMOVING CONTAMINATED CLOTHING AND
SHOES. FOR EYE CONTACT, GET IMMEDIATE MEDICAL A TTENTION. IF SKIN CONTACT
OCCURS, GET MEDICAL ATTENTION. INGESTION: IF SWALLOWED, GIVE AT LEAST 3 TO 4
