Emergency and First Aid procedures:
Eye Holding the eyelids apart, flush eyes promptly with copious flowing water for at least 15
Contact: minutes. Get medical attention if irritation persists.
Skin Remove contaminated clothing. Wash skin thoroughly with mild soap and plenty of water for
Contact: at least 15 minutes. Wash clothing before re-use. Get medical attention if irritation occurs.
Inhalation: In case of dust inhalation or breathing fumes releases by NaBr at high temperatures, remove
person to fresh air. Keep him quiet and warm. Apply artificial respiration if necessary and get
medical attention.

PROPOSITION 65 STATEMENT(California Only):
Do not swallow water in pools, hot tubs, or spas. Sodium Bromide(or 鈥淭he active ingredient
in this product鈥?) may react with certain other substances in pool, hot tub, and spa waters
from bromates. 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.
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.
