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

Spill Release Procedures:KEEP UPWIND. EVACUATE AREA. WEAR PROTECTIVE
    GEAR &S.C.B.A. ISOLATE LEAK. IF CHLORINE CONTAINER IS   LEAKING,TRY
    TO POSITION IT SO THAT GAS RATHER THANLIQUID LEAKS. SPILLS OF
    CHLORINE OF 10LBS OR MORE  MUST BE REPORTED TO NATIONAL RESPONSE
    CENTER.
Neutralizing Agent:CAUSTIC SODA, SODA ASH, OR HYDRATED LIME SOLUTIONS.

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

Handling and Storage Precautions:DO NOT DROP CONTAINER.KEEP IMMOBILIZED
    WHEN IN USEDO NOT ATTEMPT TO HANDLE,STORE,OR USE CHLORINE
    W/OCOMPLETE REVIEW OF CHLORINE TO INSTITUTE'S  MANUAL
