IX - TOXTCOLOGY AND HEALTH INFORMATION Rnutes of Absorption Inhalation: skin, eye, igeshon Warning Statements and Warning Properties: CAUSES RESPIRATORY TRACT IRRITATION. CAUSES EYE AND SKmT BURNS. CAN CAUSE LZTNG DAMAGE. Human Threshold Response data : Odor Threshold: Approximatcly 0 9 mg/M 3 ( ppm) based on odor of chlorine. Irritation Threshold. No data for Sodium hypochlorite. However, decomposition products may be Immediately Danger to Life or Health No data . However, Sodium hypochlonte has the potential to be irntatmg inundately dangerous to life or health Signs, Symptoms and Effects of Exposure: In hala tion : bums to the respiratory tract wth the production of lung edema, which can rcsult in shortness of breath, wheezing, choking, chest pain, and impairment of lung function.

9 Inhalation of hgh concentrations can result in permanent lung damagc. Chronic: Repeated inhalation exposure may cause impamnent of lung function and permanent lung damage Skin: Acute: Dermal exposure can cause severe irntation andor burns characterized by redness. swelling and scab formation. Prolongcd skin expsurc may cause destruction of tlic dcrmis with iinprllrmcnt of the skin at site of contact to regenerate effects secondary to tissue destruction. Eye: and corneal damage. Ingestion : InteStlnes, characterized by nausea, vomiting, diarrhea. abdornird pain. bleeding. and/or ussue ulceration Acute: Inhalation of this MATERIAL is irntahng to the nose, mouth, throat and lungs. It may also cause Chronic: Effccts from chroruc skin exposure would bc similar to those from single cxposure except for Severe imtation and/or burns can occur followng eyc exposure Contact may causc impairment of \mion Acute: Imtation and/or burns can occur to the entm gastrointestmal tract includmg the stomach and Chronic: There arc no known or reported effects from chronic cxposurc Me&& Condibons Aggravated by Exposure Asthma and respiratory and cardiovascular discasc Interachons wth other chemicals whch enhance toxicity none known or reported Animal Toxicology Acute Target Organ Toxicity: INHALATION LCSO No avarlable data ORAL LDSO.

10 DERMAL LD50 Approximately 3-5 g/kg (rat) > 2 gikg (rabbit) Causes bum to &yes and skin. Chronic Target Organ Toxicity: There are no know or reported effects from repeated exposure. Reproductive and Developmental Toxicity: There are no known or reported effect; on reproductive function or fetal development Carcinogenicity: Sodium hypochlonte has been shown not to be carcinogenic in laboratory animals. It IS not included as a carcinogen by IARC, OSHA, NTP, or EPA. IARC has concluded that there is inadequate evidence for the carcinogenicity of hypochlorite salls in laboratory animal; and there is no data ava&ible from studies in humans Therefore, IARC considers hypochlorite salts to be not classifiable as to their carcinogenicity to humans. Mutagenicity: Sodium hypochlonte has been shown to produce damage to genetic MATERIAL when tested in vitro.
