Immediate (Acute) Health Effects
Inhalation Toxicity: HARMFUL IF PRODUCT IS INHALED IN HIGH CONCENTRATIONS.
CAUSES BURNS TO RESPIRATORY TRACT. Inhalation of dust or
vapor from this product can be irritating to the nose, mouth, throat and
lungs. In confined areas, mechanical agitation can result in high levels
of dust, and reaction with incompatible materials (as listed in Section 10)
can result in high concentrations of chlorine vapor, either of which may
result in burns to the respiratory tract, producing lung edema, shortness
of breath, wheezing, choking, chest pains, impairment of lung function
and possible permanent lung damage.
Skin Toxicity: DRY MATERIAL CAUSES MODERATE SKIN IRRITATION. WET
MATERIAL CAUSES SKIN BURNS. Dermal exposure to dry material
causes moderate skin irritation characterized by redness and swelling.
Dermal exposure to wet material can cause severe irritation and/or
burns characterized by redness, swelling and scab formation. Prolonged
skin exposure may cause permanent damage.
Eye Toxicity: CAUSES BURNS TO EYES. Severe irritation and/or burns can occur
following eye exposure. Direct contact may cause impairment of vision
and corneal damage.
Ingestion Toxicity: MODERATELY TOXIC IF SWALLOWED. CAUSES BURNS TO
DIGESTIVE TRACT. Irritation and/or burns can occur to the entire
gastrointestinal tract, including the stomach and intestines,
characterized by nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, bleeding,
and/or tissue ulceration or perforation. Significant exposure to this
material can lead to serious health effects and/or death.
