=====================  Hazards Identification  =====================

LD50 LC50 Mixture:ORAL RAT = 13 G/KG (5% SOLUTION)
Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:NO    IARC:NO	OSHA:NO
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:INHALATION:FUMES OR MISTS CAUSES
    IRRITATION OF RESPIRATORY TRACT & MUCOUS MEMBRANES. IF SODIUM
    HYPOCHLORITE IS MIXED WITH AMMONIA OR OTHER CHEMICALS, EVOLUTION OF
    CHLORINE OR CHLORINE BASED CONPOUNDS  RESULTS. THESE GASES CAN
    PRODUCE PULMONARY EDEMA. NEVER MIX WITH ANY OTHER CHEMICALS. EYE:
    LIQUID & MISTS MAY CAUSE SEVERE BUT TEMPORARY EYE DAMAGE. SKIN: THE
    LIQUID WILL IRRITATE THE SKIN, CAUSING RE DNESS AND POSSIBLY
    INFLAMMATION. SWALLOWED: MISTS AND LIQUID ARE EXTREMELY CORROSIVE
    TO THE MOUTH AND THROAT, MUCOUSE MEMBRANES AND STOMACH. CHRONIC:
    DERMATITIS AND SENSITIZATION.
Effects of Overexposure:IRRITATION EFFECTS INCREASE WITH STRENGTH OF
    SOLUTION AND TIME OF EXPOSURE. PROLONGED OR REPEATE EXPOSRE CAN
    LEAD TO CONSTANT IRRITATION OF EYES AND THROAT. PROLONGED OR
    REPEATED CONTACT MAY CAUSE DER MATITIS AND SENSITIZATION.
    SWALLOWING THE LIQUIDS BURNS THE TISSUES, CAUSES SEVERE ABDOMINAL
    PAIN, NAUSEA, VOMITING, CIRCULATORY COLLAPSE, CONFUSION, DELERIUM,
    COMA AND COLLAPSE. SWALLOWING LARGE QUAN TITIES CAN CAUSE DEATH.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:HIGH CONCENTRATIONS OF VAPOR OR
    MIST MAY AGGRAVATE HEART CONDITIONS OR CHRONIC RESPIRATORY PROBLEMS
    SUCH AS ASTHMA, CHRONIC BRONCHITIS OR OBSTRUCTIVE LUNG DISEASE.

=======================  First Aid Measures  =======================

First Aid:INHALED: REMOVE TO FRESH AIR. GIVE ARTIFICAIAL RESPIRATION IF
    NOT BREATHING. ADMINISTER OXYGEN IF BREATHING IS DIFFICULT. GET
