|
Inhalation
|
Dust and mist irritate the nose and throat. In confined areas, mechanical agitation can result in high levels of dust, and reaction with incompatibles materials (e.g., acids and water/moisture) can result in high concentrations of chlorine vapour, 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 Contact / Absorption
|
Chlorine dust and solutions can cause irritation and in severe cases, chemical burns, which are characterized by redness, swelling, and scab formation. Moisture from perspirations will accelerate tissue destruction.
|
|
Eye Contact
|
Exposure to chlorine powder can cause eye irritation and vision impairment. Contact can produce impairment of vision and corneal damage.
|
|
Ingestion
|
When ingested, there will be burning of the mouth and throat. Can cause abdominal cramps, vomiting, diarrhea, nausea, and/or tissue ulceration which may lead to convulsions, coma, and even death. |
|
Exposure Limits
|
Ceiling= 3mg/m3 as chlorine (manufacturer's internal standard) |

|
Inhalation
|
Remove victim to fresh air. Give artificial respiration only if breathing has stopped. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Seek immediate medical attention. |
|
Skin Contact / Absorption
|
Remove contaminated clothing. Wash affected area with soap and water. Seek medical attention if irritation occurs or persists. |
|
Eye Contact
|
Flush immediately with water for at least 20 minutes. Forcibly hold eyelids apart to ensure complete irrigation of eye tissue. Seek immediate medical attention. |
|
Ingestion
|
Immediately give large amounts of water. Do not induce vomiting. If vomiting occurs, lean victim forward to prevent breathing in vomitus. Do not give anything by mouth to an unconscious or convulsing person.
Seek immediate medical attention. |
