Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:NO IARC:NO OSHA:NO
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:ACUTE: INHALATION-INHALATION OF DUST &
DEPOSITION OF PARTICLES IN THE RESPIRATORY TRACT CAN LEAD TO
IRRITATION OF TISSUE & CAUSE A VARIETY OF EFFECTS. IN OPERATIONS
WHERE THERE ARE HIGH CONCENTRATIONS OF RESPIRABLE PARTICULATES,
PULMONARY EDEMA MAY BE PRODUCED. IF NOT TREATED QUICKLY, PULMONARY
EDEMA CAN BE LIFE THRETENING. EYE/SKIN-CALCIUM HYPOCHLORITE IS
CORROSIVE TO THE EYES. CONTACT OF CLACIUM HYPOCHLORITE DUST WITH
THE EYES, CAN CAUSE SEVERE IRRITATION & EVEN BLINDNESS. CONTACT
WITH SKIN MAY CAUSE IRRITATION, BURNS OR TISSUE DESTRUCTION.
INGESTION-CALCIUM HYPOCHLORITE, CAUSES SEVERE BURNS TO THE
DIGESTIVE TRACT & CAN BE FATAL.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:THIS PRODUCT IS NOT LISTED AS A
CARCINOGEN OR SUSPECT CARCINOGEN BY NTP, IARC, OR OSHA.
Effects of Overexposure:INHALATION: THESE EFFECTS ARE DEPENDENT ON
CONCENTRATION AND INCLUDE: UPPER RESPIRATORY TRACT IRRITATION,
NASAL CONGESTION, COUGHING, SORE THROAT, LARYNGITIS & SHORTNESS OF
BREATH.
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
DIFFICULT, GIVE OXYGEN. CALL A PHYSICIAN. EYE/SKIN
CONTACT-IMMEDIATELY FL USH EYES & SKIN WITH PLENTY OF WATER (SOAP &
WATER FOR SKIN) FOR 15 MINS . WHILE REMOVING CONTAMINATED CLOTHING
