SECTION IV FIRST AID MEASURES
INHALATION: Remove from exposure and get fresh air. Use bag valve mask or similar device to perform artificial respiration (rescue breathing) if needed. Keep warm and at rest. Get medical attention immediately if artificial respiration required. SKIN CONTACT: Remove contaminated clothing, jewelry, and shoes immediately. Flush affected area with large amounts of water, preferable a safety shower. Use soap or mild detergent and large amounts of water until no evidence of chemical remains (at least 15-20 minutes). For burns, cover affected area securely with sterile, dry, loose fitting dressing. If skin is burned, get medical attention immediately. EYE CONTACT: Wash eyes immediately with large amounts of water, occasionally lifting upper and lower lids, until no evidence of chemical remains (at least 15 minutes). Continue irrigating with a normal saline solution until ready to transport to physician. Cover with sterile bandages. Get medical attention immediately. INGESTION: Rinse mouth with water. Drink large quantities of milk (water if no milk is available). Milk of magnesia may be helpful. DO NOT USE ACIDIC ANTIDOTES SUCH AS SODIUM BICARBONATE. When vomiting occurs, keep head lower than hips to help prevent aspiration. If person is unconscious, do not induce vomiting and turn their head to the side. Never make an unconscious person vomit or drink fluids. Get medical attention.
NOTE TO PHYSICIAN: For inhalation, consider oxygen. For ingestion, avoid gastric lavage, emesis, sodium bicarbonate and acidic solutions. Consider the use of antacids.
SECTION V FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
FLASH POINT: Non-flammable FLAMMABLE LIMITS: Non-flammable FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS: Negligible fire hazard. Oxidizer, This material will react with some metals and cause liberation of oxygen. May ignite or explode on contact with combustible materials. Toxic fumes can be liberated by contact with acid or heat. EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: Regular dry chemical, carbon dioxide, water, or foam suitable for surrounding fire. For large fires, use regular foam or flood with fine water spray. FIRE FIGHTING: Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing. Move container from fire area if it can be done without risk. Cool containers with water spray until well after the fire is out. Stay away from the ends of tanks. Use extinguishing agents appropriate for surrounding fire. Do not get water directly on material. For large fires, flood with fine water spray. Reduce vapors with water spray. Apply water from a protected location or from a same distance. Avoid body contact or inhalation of material or combustion by –products. Stay upwind and keep out of low areas.
SECTION VI ACCIDENTAL REALESE MEASURES
OCCUPATIONAL RELEASE: Do not touch spilled material. Stop leak if possible without personal risk. For small spills, collect spilled material in appropriate container for disposal and consider absorbing with sand or other non-combustible material (e.g., do not use sawdust or other combustible material). Be advised, however, that the use of absorbing material is creating hazardous waste and this absorbing material must now be disposed of properly. Collect spilled material in appropriate container for disposal. For small dry spills, move containers away from spill to a safe area. For large spills, dike for later disposal. If possible, do not allow material to enter sewers, streams, ponds or storm conduits, as concentrated solutions will seriously injure aquatic life. Keep unnecessary people away, isolate hazard area and deny entry. Contain in as small an area as possible, such as a holding area for dilution and neutralization. Contain spill in plastic drums when available. Dispose of in accordance with Federal, State, and local regulations. Personnel engaged in cleanup operations must be equipped with NIOSH approved respirator protection, rubber boots, gloves, and clothing to avoid body contact. Reportable Quantity (RQ): 100 pounds. Notify Local Emergency Planning Committee and State Emergency Response Commission for release greater than or equal to RQ (U.S. SARA Section 394). If release occurs in the U.S. and reportable under CERCLA Section 103, notify the National Response Center at (800)424-8802 (USA) or (202)426-2675 (USA).
ADVANCE PLANNING: Plan in advance for an occupational release and have necessary equipment and neutralization agents on-site. Contact Odyssey Manufacturing for assistance.
SECTION VII HANDLING AND STORAGE
Store in vented, closed containers that provide protection from direct sunlight. Keep separated from incompatible substances and do not store near acids, heat, or oxidizable materials or organics.

SECTION XI SODIUM HYPOCHLORITE TOXILOGICAL INFORMATION
IRRITATION DATA: 10 mg eyes-rabbit moderate TOXICITY DATA: 1 gm/dg oral-woman: TDLo; 45 mg/kg intravenous-man TDLo; 5800 mg/kg oral-mouse LD50; 140 mg/kq/9 week(s) continuous oral-rat TDLo CARCINOGEN STATUS: According to the IARC, animal inadequate evidence, human no adequate data, Group 3 (Hypochlorite salts) LOCAL EFFECTS: Corrosive: inhalation, skin contact, eye, ingestion hazards ACCUTE TOXICITY LIVEL: Slightly Toxic if ingested MUTAGENIC DATA: Mutation in micro organisms-Salmonella typhimurium 1 mg/plate (-S9); DNA repair-Escherichiacoli 20 μg/disc; DNA damage-Esoherichiacoli 420 μmol/L: phage inhibition capacity-Esoherichiacoli 103 μg/well; micronucleus test-non=mammalian species multiple 200 ppb; cytogenetic analysis-non-mammalian species multiple 120 μg/L; cytogenetic analysis-hamster lung 100 mg/l HEALTH EFFECTS: INHALATION ACUTE EXPOSURE: May cause severe bronchial irritation, sore throat with possible blistering, coughing, stomatitis, nausea labored breathing, shortness of breath and pulmonary epedema. 10-20 mg/m3 causes burning of the nose and throat; 40-60 mg/m3 may be fatal. If sufficient amounts are absorbed, may cause effects as detailed in acute ingestion. CHRONIC EXPOSURE: No data available. SKIN CONTACT ACUTE EXPOSURE: Extent of damage depends on concentration, pH, volume of solution & time of contact. May cause redness, pain, blistering, itchy eczema & chemical burns. Sensitization reactions possible in previously exposed persons. CHRONIC EXPOSURE: Effects depend on concentrations and duration of exposure. Repeated or prolonged contact with corrosive substances may result in dermatitis or effects similar to acute exposure. Allergic dermatitis has also been reported. EYE CONTACT ACUTE EXPOSURE: May cause redness, pain, & blurred vision. Solutions of 5% splashed in human eyes have caused a burning sensation and later only slight superficial disturbance of the corneal epithelium, which cleared completely in the next day or two without special treatment. However, one animal study reports a 5% solution causing only moderate irritation with clearing within 7 days. A higher concentration of 15% tested on rabbit eyes caused immediate severe pain, hemorrhages, rapid onset of ground-glass appearance of the corneal epithelium, moderate bluish edema of the whole cornea, chemosis and discharge for several days. Such eyes have sometimes healed in 2-3 weeks with slight or no residual corneal damage but they had neovascularization of the conjunctiva and distortion of the nictitating membrane by scarring. CHRONIC EXPOSURE: Depending on concentration and time of exposure, symptoms may be as those of acute exposure. INGESTION ACUTE EXPOSURE: May cause irritation and erosion of the mucous membranes, vomiting (possibly bloody) and abdominal pain and spasms. A drop in blood pressure, shallow respiration, edema (possibly severe) of pharynx, larynx, and glottis, confusion, convulsions, delirium and coma may occur. Cyanosis and circulatory collapse are possible. Esophageal or gastric perforation and strictures are rare. Death may occur, usually due to complications of severe local injury such as toxemia, shock, perforations, hemorrhage, infection and obstruction. Massive ingestions may produce fatal hyperchloremic metabolic acidosis or aspiration pneumonitis. CHRONIC EXPOSURE: Sensitization reactions are reported in individuals who are exposed in small amounts through their water supply. High doses have caused sperm abnormality in mice.
