Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986 [Proposition 65, California only]:
Small quantities 鈥? less than 100 ppm (parts per million) 鈥? of impurities, including bromates, may be
found in all chlorinating products, including this product. Bromates are derived from bromides,
which are present in sodium chloride (table salt) from which chlorine is manufactured. Additional
small quantities of bromates may be generated during the disinfection process. Bromates are
known by the State of California to cause cancer when administered by the oral (drinking or
ingesting) route. Read and follow label directions and use care when handling or using this product.
The US Environmental Protection Agency has established a maximum contaminant level (MCL) for
bromates in drinking water at 10 ppb (parts per billion). Application of this product in accordance
with label directions at use dilution will not exceed this level.
This warning is provided pursuant to Proposition 65, the Safe Drinking Water and Toxic
Enforcement act of 1986, Chapter 6.6 of the California Health and Safety Code, which requires the
Governor of California to publish a list of chemicals 鈥渒nown to the state to cause cancer or
reproductive toxicity.鈥? This list is compiled in accordance with the procedures established under the
proposition, and can be obtained on the internet from California鈥檚 Office of Environmental Health
Hazard Assessment at http://www.oehha.ca.gov. There are over 700 chemical substances on this
list.
GENERAL PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFE USE AND HANDLING
Open containers carefully. Sodium Hypochlorite solutions are packaged with vented closures. Do not use
containers which are leaking or show evidence of having leaked. Mix only with water. Do not mix with other
chemicals. Use clean, dry utensils when mixing. Do not discharge this product or mixtures of this product
into lakes, streams, ponds, bays, estuaries or the ocean. Sodium Hypochlorite is toxic to aquatic organisms
at very low levels.
