Routes of Entry: Inhalation:YES Skin:YES Ingestion:YES
Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:NO IARC:NO OSHA:NO
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:ACUTE: INHALATION: DUST AND MIST
IRRITATE THE NOSE AND THROAT. WHEN MIXED WITH ACIDS, CHLORINE GAS
IS RELEASED. THIS GAS CAUSES IRRITATION OF THE RESPIRATORY TRACT.
PROLONGED EXPOSURE TO HIGH CONCENTR ATIONS OF THIS GAS MAY RESULT
IN SEVERE LUNG DAMAGE. EYE: EXPOSURE TO CALCIUM HYPOCHLORITE CAN
CAUSE EYE IRRITATION. CONCENTRATED SOLUTIONS CAUSE BURNS WHICH MAY
RESULT IN PERMANENT EYE DAMAGE IF NOT PROMPTLY TREATED. SKIN:
CALCIUM HYPOCHLORITE DUST AND SOLUTIONS CAN CAUSE IRRITATION AND IN
SEVERE CASES, CHEMICAL BURNS. INGESTION: WHEN INGESTED, THERE WILL
BE BURNING IN THE MOUTH AND THROAT. (EFTS OF OVEREXP)
Effects of Overexposure:HLTH HAZ: CALCIUM HYPOCHLORITE CAN CAUSE
ABDOMINAL CRAMPS AND NAUSEA WHICH MAY LEAD TO CONVULSIONS, COMA AND
DEATH. CHRONIC: SKIN CONTACT: SKIN IRRITATION MAY OCCUR FROM
REPEATED OR PROLONGED SKIN COT NACT. OTHER ROUTES: NOT AVAILABLE.
======================= First Aid Measures =======================

EYELID(S) OPEN. TAKE CARE NOT TO RINSE CONTAMD H*2O INTO
NON-AFFECTED EYE. OBTAIN MED ATTN IMMED. SKIN: AS QUICKLY AS POSS,
FLUSH CONTAMD ARE AS W/LUKEWARM, GENTLY RUNNING H*2O FOR AT LEAST
15 MIN, UNDER RUNNING H*2O, REMOVE CONTAM CLTHG, SHOES & LEATHER
GOODS. OBTAIN MED ATTN IMMED. INGEST: NEVER GIVE ANYTHING BY MOUTH
IF VICTIM IS RAPIDLY LOOSING (SUPDAT)
===================== Fire Fighting Measures =====================
Flash Point:NOT FLAMMABLE
Lower Limits:NOT FLAMM
Upper Limits:NOT FLAMM
Extinguishing Media:CALCIUM HYPOCHLORITE IS A STRONG OXIDIZING AGENT -
MAY FORM EXPLOSIVE MIXTURES WITH COMBUSTIBLE, ORGANIC OR OTHER
OXIDIZABLE MATERIALS.
Fire Fighting Procedures:USE NIOSH APPROVED SCBA & FULL PROTECTIVE
EQUIPMENT . DRENCH WITH WATER, AND COOL SURROUNDING PRODUCTS AND
AREA WITH WATER. WATER IN CONTACT WITH HOT CALCIUM HYPOCHLORITE CAN
RELEASE HYDROCHLORI C ACID OR CHLORINE GAS.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:NFPA RATINGS: HEALTH: 3, FLAMMABILITY: 0,
REACTIVITY: 1; CLASS 3 OXIDIZER. EXPLOSION DATA - SENSITIVITY TO
MECHANICAL IMPACT AND SENSITIVITY TO STATIC DISCHARGE: NONE.
================== Accidental Release Measures ==================
Spill Release Procedures:PREC: RESTRICT ACCESS TO AREA UNTIL COMPLETION
OF CLEAN-UP. WEAR ADEQ PER PROT EQUIP. EXTING/REMOVE ALL IGNIT
SOURCES. VENT AREA. CLEAN-UP: DO NOT TOUCH SPILLED MATL. PVNT MATL
FROM ENTERING SEWERS/CO NFINED SPACES. SHOVEL INTO CLEAN, DRY,
LABELED CNTNRS. FLUSH AREA W/H*2O. CONTAMD MATLS MAY BE DISSOLVED
IN H*2O, THEN TREATED W/REDUCING AGENTS SUCH AS SODIUM SULPHITE.
(OTHER INFO)
====================== Handling and Storage ======================
Handling and Storage Precautions:HANDLING PROCEDURES: AVOID GENERATING
DUST. AVOID MIXING PURE MATERIAL WITH CONTAMINATED MATERIAL. USE
SMALLEST POSSIBLE AMOUNTS IN DESIGNATED AREAS WITH ADEQUATE
VENTILATION.
