HARMFUL DUE TO RELEASE OF CHLORINE WITH WATER.
| 4. FIRST AID MEASURES | |
EXPOSURE ROUTE SYMPTOM TREATMENT
INHALATION COUGH, SORE THROAT TREAT AS FOR ACUTE CHLORINE
POISONING AND KEEP PATIENT AT REST
IN FRESH AIR.
SKIN CONTACT REDNESS, PAIN, BURNS REMOVE CONTAMINATED CLOTHING AND
WASH AFFECTED AREAS WITH PLENTY OF
WATER. IF IRRITATION PERSISTS SEEK
MEDICAL ADVICE.
EYE CONTACT REDNESS, PAIN, LOSS RINSE EYES IMMEDIATELY WITH WATER
OF VISION, DEEP FOR AT LEAST 15 MINUTES AND SEEK
BURNS. MEDICAL ADVICE.

TAKING INFORMATION ON PRODUCT.
| 5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES | |
SUITABLE EXTINGUISHERS: DRY POWDER
HAZARDOUS COMBUSTION PRODUCTS:
TOXIC FUMES OF CHLORINE AND NITROGEN COMPOUNDS
SPECIAL EQUIPMENT FOR FIRE FIGHTING:
WEAR SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS AND FULL PROTECTIVE GEAR.
PACKAGING WILL BURN IF INVOLVED IN A FIRE. THE PRODUCT IS ESSENTIALLY
NON-COMBUSTIBLE BUT WILL GIVE OFF TOXIC FUMES WHEN HEATED. BREATHING
APPARATUS MUST BE WORN WHEN FIGHTING FIRES. IF SAFE TO DO SO, REMOVE
UNDAMAGED CONTAINERS FROM FIRE AREA IN ORDER TO MINIMISE HAZARD FROM RELEASE
OF TOXIC FUMES. EXTINGUISH SMALL FIRES WITH DRY POWDER EXTINGUISHERS. IT
WILL OFTEN BE SAFER TO LET THE FIRE BURN ITSELF OUT. WHERE IT IS DECIDED TO
FIGHT THE FIRE WITH WATER, LARGE VOLUMES MUST BE USED. (IF INSUFFICIENT
WATER IS USED TO FLOOD THE PRODUCT THERE WILL BE AN EXPLOSION HAZARD
ASSOCIATED WITH THE HOT DAMP MATERIAL). CONTAIN FIRE FIGHTING WATER WHERE
POSSIBLE. INFORM LOCAL WATER AUTHORITY OF ANY DISCHARGE INTO SEWER OR
WATERCOURSES.
| 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES | |
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS:
DO NOT BREATH FUMES. WEAR PROTECTIVE CLOTHING AND ENSURE ADEQUATE
VENTILATION OR WEAR SUITABLE RESPIRATORY PROTECTION.
ENVIRONMENTAL PRECAUTIONS:
