CAS#	Chemical Name	Percent	EINECS/ELINCS
7080-50-4	Chloramine-T trihydrate	98	unlisted

Section 3 - Hazards Identification

Appearance: white to off-white crystalline powder.
Danger! Causes burns by all exposure routes. Harmful if swallowed. May cause allergic respiratory reaction. Contact with acids liberates toxic gas.
Target Organs: Central nervous system, respiratory system, gastrointestinal system, eyes, skin.


Potential Health Effects
Eye: Causes eye burns.
Skin: Causes skin burns. May be harmful if absorbed through the skin. NIOSHTIC 1997: A case of occupational allergic contact urticaria from chloramine-T solution in a 48 yr old hospital bath attendant was described. The authors conclude that she suffers from occupational allergic contact urticaria caused by chloramine-T. Merck MSDS issued in May 2004 says rabbit skin tests resulted in burns.
Ingestion: Harmful if swallowed. Causes gastrointestinal tract burns.
Inhalation: May cause allergic respiratory reaction. Causes chemical burns to the respiratory tract. May be harmful if inhaled.
Chronic: Laboratory experiments have resulted in mutagenic effects. Repeated or prolonged exposure may cause allergic reactions in sensitive individuals. Exposure to high concentrations may cause central nervous system depression.

Section 4 - First Aid Measures

Eyes: Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids. Get medical aid imme diately.
Skin: Get medical aid immediately. Immediately flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes.
Ingestion: Do not induce vomiting. Get medical aid immediately. Call a poison control center.
Inhalation: Get medical aid immediately. Remove from exposure and move to fresh air immediately. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Do not use mouth-to-mouth resuscitation if victim ingested or inhaled the substance; induce artificial respiration with the aid of a pocket mask equipped with a one-way valve or other proper respiratory medical device.
Notes to Physician: Treat symptomatically and supportively.

Section 5 - Fire Fighting Measures

Section 6 - Accidental Release Measures

General Information: Use proper personal protective equipment as indicated in Section 8.
Spills/Leaks: Absorb spill with inert material (e.g. vermiculite, sand or earth), then place in suitable container. Wear a self contained breathing apparatus and appropriate personal protection. (See Exposure Controls, Personal Protection section). Provide ventilation. Do not let this chemical enter the environment.

Section 7 - Handling and Storage

Handling: Do not get in eyes, on skin, or on clothing. Do not ingest or inhale. Use only in a chemical fume hood. Acids should not be used around this material unless absolutely necessary and then only after careful planning. Contact with acids liberates toxic gas.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Store in a tightly closed container. Corrosives area. Keep away from acids.

Section 8 - Exposure Controls, Personal Protection

Engineering Controls: Facilities storing or utilizing this material should be equipped with an eyewash facility and a safety shower. Use only under a chemical fume hood.
