LD50 LC50 Mixture:ORAL (RAT) IS UNKNOWN.
Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:UNKNOWN IARC:UNKNOWN OSHA:NO
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:INHALATION:INHALATION OF CALCIUM
HYPOCHLORITE DUST AND DEPOSITION OF PARTICLES IN THE RESPIRATORY
TRACT CAN LEAD TO IRRITATION OF THE TISSUE AND CAUSE A VARIETY OF
EFFECTS. THESE EFFECTS ARE DEPENDEN T ON LARYNGITIS AND SHORTNESS
OF BREATH. IN OPERATIONS WHERE THERE ARE HIGH CONCENTRATIONS OF
RESPIRABLE PARTICULATES, PULMONARY EDMAN (FLUID IN THE LUNG) MAY BE
PRODUCED. IF NOT TREATED IMMEDIATELY, PULMONARY EDEMA CAN BE LIFE
THREATENING. SINCE THIS PRODUCT IS IN GRANULAR FORM, PARTICLES OF
RESPIRABLE SIZE ARE NOT GENERALLY ENCOUNTERED.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:NOT LISTED AS A CARCINOGEN OR SUSPECTED
CARCINOGEN BY NTP, IARC, OR OSHA.
Effects of Overexposure:INHALATION: UPPER RESPIRATORY TRACT
IRRITATION, NASAL CONGESTION, SORE THROAT, LARYNGITIS, SHORTNESS OF
BREATH, AND PULMONARY EDEMA (FLUID IN THE LUNGS). EYE/SKIN: SEVERE
IRRITATION, BLINDNESS, AND BURNS OR TISSUE CESTRUCTION.
INGESTION: SEVERE BURNS.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:NONE KNOWN.

First Aid:INHALATION-MOVE PERSON TO FRESH AIR. IF NOT BREATHING, GIVE
ARTIFICIAL RESPIRATION, PREFERABLY MOUTH-TO-MOUTH. IF BREATHING IS
