=====================  Hazards Identification  =====================

Routes of Entry: Inhalation:YES  Skin:YES  Ingestion:NO
Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:NO    IARC:NO	OSHA:NO
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:ANY CONTACT WITH LIQUID CHLORINE
    CAUSES BURNS, BLISTERING AND TISSUE DESTRUCTIONHIGH LEVEL EXPOSURES
    CAN RESULT IN DEATH.
Effects of Overexposure:MILD TO MAJOR SYMPTOMS ARE: IRRITATION TO EYES,
    NOSE, & RESPIRATORY TRACT;COUGH-ING; DYSPNEA; BURNS OF THE SKIN;
    CONJUNCTIVITIS; PULMONARY EDEMA; AND DEATH. RE-DUCED RESPIRATORY
    CAPACITY AND DENTAL ER OSION CAN RESULT FROM CHRONIC LOW
    LEVELEXPOSURE. LIQ CHLORINE CAUSES BURNS, BLISTERING AND TISSUE
    DESTRUCTION.

=======================  First Aid Measures  =======================

First Aid:EYE CONTACT: FLUSH EYES WITH WATER FOR AT LEAST 15 MIN.
    HOLDING EYELIDS OPEN. IFMEDICAL HELP IS NOT READILY AVAIL. CONTINUE
    FLUSHING WITH WATER. SKIN CONTACT:	(TREAT FOR INHALATION EXPOSURE
    FIRST)REM OVE CONTAMINATED CLOTHING UNDER A SAFETYSHOWER, WASH
    EXPOSED SKIN AREAS THOROUGHLY WITH WATER. INHILATION: REMOVE TO   
    FRESH AIR.GIVE CPR IF VICTIM IS NOT BREATHING.IN MILD CASES GIVE
    MILK FOR RELIEF

=====================  Fire Fighting Measures  =====================

Extinguishing Media:USE WATER SPRAY TO COOL INTACT, FIRE-EXPOSED
    CONTAINERS. IF POSSIBLE, HAVE SPECIALLY TRAINED PERSONNEL REMOVE
    CYL.
Fire Fighting Procedures:FIREFIGHTERS MUST USE SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING
    EQUIP, EYE PROTECTION, AND FULL  PROTECTIVE CLOTHING WHEN FIGHTING
    FIRES IN WHICH CHLORINE IS INVOLVED.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:CHLORINE WILL SUPPORT THE BURNING OF MOST
    COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS, JUST AS OXYGEN DOES. FLAMMABLE GASES &
    VAPORS CAN FORM EXPLOSIVE MIXTURES WITH CHLORINE.

==================  Accidental Release Measures  ==================

Spill Release Procedures:ESTABLISH WRITTEN EMERG PLANS & SPECIAL
    PERSONNEL TRAINING WHERE CHLORINE IS USED.PROVIDE PROTECTIVEGEAR.
    PROVIDE VENTILATION. EXCLUDE ALL BUT TRAINEDPERSONNEL. FIND & STOP
    LEAK.MOVE LEAKING CONTAINER TO ISOLATED AREA. POSITION TO RELEASE
    GAS NOT LIQ.

======================	Handling and Storage  ======================

Handling and Storage Precautions:STORE/USE IN WELL-VENTILATED AREAS
    AWAY FROM SOURCOF HEAT & IGNITION.FOLLOW STANDARD SAFETY
    PROCEDURFOR CONTAINERS OF COMPRESSED, CORROSIVE GASES.
Other Precautions:PROVIDE SPECIAL TRAINING TO WORKERS HANDLING
    CHLORINE. REGULARLY INSPECT (&TEST)PIPING & CONTAINMENT USED FOR
    CHLORINE SERVICE. USE ENCLOSED,ISOLATED PROCESSINGAND HANDLING
    WHENEVER POSSIBLE.UNCONTROL LABLE LEAKS MAY REQUIRE
    ENVIR.EVACUATION

=============  Exposure Controls/Personal Protection  =============

Respiratory Protection:FULL FACE-PIECE RESPIRATORS MUST BE AVAILABLE
    FOR NON-ROUTINE AND EMERGENCY USE:CANISTER GAS MASK BELOW 5000 PPM
    IN AIR AND SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING EQUIPMENT  FOR OTHER
    CONDITIONS.
Ventilation:PROVIDE GENERAL AND LOCAL EXHAUST VENTILATION TO MEET TLV  
    REQUIREMENTS. PROVIDE SUITABLE VENTING FOR LOW LYING AREAS.
