Call a physician at once. SKIN Immediately flush with water for at least 15 minutes. Call a physician. If clothing comes in contact with the product, it should be removed immediately and laundered before re-use. INGESTION Immediately drink large quantities of water. DO NOT induce vomiting. Call a physician at once. DO NOT give anything by mouth if the person is unconscious or if having convulsions. INHALATION Remove victim to fresh air. Support respiration if needed. Call a physician. 5 FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES Flash Point:. Auto-ignition Temperature:. Flammable Limits at Normal Atmospheric Temperature and Pressure (% volume in air): LEL -. UEL -. EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: Not Applicable. FIRE-FIGHTING TECHNIQUES AND COMMENTS: Cool exposed containers with water. OTHER: Do not use dry extinguishers containing ammonium compounds.

Remove all sources of ignition. Stop source of spill as soon as possible and notify appropriate personnel. AIR RELEASE Dust/vapours may be suppressed by the use of a water fog. All water utilised to assist in fume suppression, decontamination or fire suppression may be contaminated and must be contained before disposal. WATER RELEASE This material is heavier than water. This material is soluble in water. Monitor all exit water for available chlorine and ph. Advice local authorities of any contaminated water release. LAND SPILL Containerise all virgin material in a clean dry container using only clean dedicated equipment to clean material up. Containerise all contaminated material in a clean dry container and remove to a well ventilated area being sure to not seal tightly. Contaminated spill material may become a hazardous waste. PERSONAL PROTECTION FOR EMERGENCY SPILL AND FIRE-FIGHTING SITUATIONS In case of fire, use normal fire-fighting equipment as well as a self-contained breathing apparatus. Refer to Section 8 for protective equipment in the event of a spill. 7 HANDLING AND STORAGE Do not take internally. Avoid contact with eyes, skin or clothing. Upon contact with skin or eyes, wash off with water. STORAGE CONDITIONS Keep tightly sealed. Store in a clean, dry, well ventilated area. Do NOT store at temperatures above 52 C (125 F) PRODUCT STABILITY AND COMPATIBILITY SHELF LIFE LIMITATIONS: Approximately 2 years at temperatures below 52 C (125 F) and low humidity. INCOMPATIBLE MATERIALS FOR PACKAGING: Containers must be clean and free of organic residues. INCOMPATIBLE MATERIALS FOR STORAGE OR TRANSPORT: Acids, other oxidisers, organic materials, all corrosive liquids.

SIGNS, SYMPTOMS AND EFFECTS OF EXPOSURE: INHALATION - Acute exposure may cause: severe irritation to respiratory tract resulting in lung edema which can cause shortness of breath, wheezing, choking, chest pain and impaired lung function. Inhalation of high concentrations can result in permanent lung damage. - Chronic exposure may cause impairment of lung function and permanent lung damage. EYE: - Exposure may cause severe irritation and/or chemical burns with corneal damage. Impairment of vision is possible. SKIN: - Acute exposure can cause severe irritation and/or chemical burns. - Chronic exposure effects would be similar to those from acute exposure except for effects secondary to tissue destruction. Prolonged skin exposure may cause dermis destruction with impaired skin regeneration at the site of contact. INGESTION: - Ingestion can cause irritation and/or chemical burns to the gastrointestinal tract characterised by nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, abdominal pain, bleeding and ulceration. - Chronic toxicity via this route is unlikely due to its corrosive nature. MEDICAL CONDITIONS AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE: - Respiratory and skin diseases. CHEMICAL INTERACTIONS WHICH ENHANCE TOXICITY: None known ANIMAL TOXICOLOGY ACUTE TOXICITY: REPRODUCTIVE TOXICITY: CARCINOGENICITY: MUTAGENICITY: Inhalation LC 50 - Approximately 1700 mg/m³ for 1 hour in the rat based on acute toxicity for chlorine Oral LD 50: 850 mg/kg (rat) Dermal LD 50: > 2g/kg (rabbit) Not known to be a reproductive toxin Not known to be carcinogenic Calcium Hypochlorite has been reported to result in positive mutagenicity responses in two in-vitro assays. The concentration which produces mutations in these assays was significantly greater than the concentrations used for disinfection. Based on high cellular toxicity in these assays and the lack of mutagenicity observed in animals, the risk of genetic damage to humans is judged not significant.
