SECTION 3 PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFE HANDLING AND STORAGE
DO NOT TAKE INTERNALLY. AVOID INHALATION OF DUST AND FUMES. AVOID
CONTACT WITH EYES, SKIN OR CLOTHING. UPON CONTACT WITH SKIN OR EYES,
WASH OFF WITH WATER. REMOVE AND WASH CONTAMINATED CLOTHING BEFORE
REUSE.
STORAGE CONDITIONS: Keep product tightly sealed in original containers.
Store product in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area. Store away from
combustible or flammable products. Keep product packaging clean and
free of all contamination, including, e.g., other pool treatment
products, acids, organic materials, nitrogen-containing compounds, dry
powder fire extinguishers (containing mono-ammonium phosphate),
oxidizers, all corrosive liquids, flammable or combustible materials,
etc.
DO NOT STORE AT TEMPERATURES ABOVE: 52 Deg.C (125 Deg.F)
Storage above this temperature may result in rapid decomposition,
evolution of chlorine gas and heat sufficient to ignite combustible
products.
PRODUCT STABILITY AND COMPATIBILITY
SHELF LIFE LIMITATIONS: Shelf life (that is, the period of time before the
product goes below stated label strength) is determined by storage
time and temperatures. Do not store product at temperatures above 52
Deg.C (125 Deg.F). When stored under moderate temperature
conditions, product will maintain stated label strength for
approximately two years. Prolonged storage at 35 Deg.C (95 Deg.F) or
00002-0182- 14432
Page 2 of 11
HTH?DRY CHLORINE GRANULAR
above will significantly shorten the shelf life. Storage in a
climate-controlled storage area or building is recommended in those
areas where extremes of high temperature occur.
INCOMPATIBLE MATERIALS FOR PACKAGING: Product packaging must be clean
and free of contamination by other materials, including, e.g., other
pool treatment products, acids, organic materials, nitrogen-
containing compounds, dry powder fire extinguishers (containing mono-
ammonium phosphate), oxidizers, all corrosive liquids, flammable or
combustible materials, etc.
INCOMPATIBLE MATERIALS FOR STORAGE OR TRANSPORT: Do not allow product

SECTION 9 TOXICOLOGY AND HEALTH INFORMATION
ROUTES OF ABSORPTION
Inhalation, skin and eye contact, ingestion
WARNING STATEMENT AND WARNING PROPERTIES
MAY BE FATAL IF SWALLOWED. AVOID BREATHING DUST OR FUMES. HARMFUL
IF PRODUCT IS INHALED IN HIGH CONCENTRATIONS. CAUSES SKIN, EYE,
DIGESTIVE TRACT AND RESPIRATORY TRACT BURNS.
HUMAN RESPONSE DATA
ODOR THRESHOLD: Approximately 1.4 mg/cubic-meter, based on odor
threshold of chlorine.
IRRITATION THRESHOLD: Approximately 13-22 mg/cubic meter, based on the
irritation threshold of chlorine.
IMMEDIATELY DANGEROUS TO LIFE OR HEALTH: Approximately 45
mg/cubic-meter, based on IDLH concentration of chlorine.
SIGNS, SYMPTOMS, AND EFFECTS OF EXPOSURE
INHALATION
ACUTE:
Inhalation of dust or vapor from this product can be irritating to
the nose, mouth, throat and lungs. In confined areas, mechanical
agitation can result in high levels of dust, and reaction with
incompatible materials (as listed in Section VII) can result in high
concentrations of chlorine vapor, either of which may result in burns
to the respiratory tract, producing lung edema, shortness of breath,
wheezing, choking, chest pains, impairment of lung function and
possible permanent lung damage.
CHRONIC:
Chronic (repeated) inhalation exposure may cause impairment of lung
function and permanent lung damage.
EYE
Severe irritation and/or burns can occur following eye exposure.
Contact may cause impairment of vision and corneal damage.
SKIN
00002-0182- 14432
Page 5 of 11
HTH?DRY CHLORINE GRANULAR
ACUTE:
Dermal exposure can cause severe irritation and/or burns characterized
by redness, swelling and scab formation. Prolonged skin exposure may
cause permanent damage.
CHRONIC:
Effects from chronic skin exposure would be similar to those from
single exposure except for effects secondary to tissue destruction.
INGESTION
ACUTE:
Irritation and/or burns can occur to the entire gastrointestinal
tract, including the stomach and intestines, characterized by nausea,
vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, bleeding and/or tissue
ulceration. Due to the corrosive nature of this product, ingestion
may be fatal.
CHRONIC:
There are no known or reported effects from chronic exposure except
for effects similar to those experienced from single exposure.
MEDICAL CONDITIONS AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE
Asthma, respiratory and cardiovascular disease
INTERACTIONS WITH OTHER CHEMICALS WHICH ENHANCE TOXICITY
None known or reported
ANIMAL TOXICOLOGY
ACUTE TOXICITY:
Inhalation LC 50: Approximately 1300 mg/cubic-meter (1 hr., rat) -
based on acute inhalation toxicity for chlorine
Oral LD 50: 850 mg/kg. (rat)
Dermal LD 50: > 2 g/kg. (rabbit)
Causes burns to eyes and skin
CHRONIC TOXICITY:
There are no known or reported effects from repeated exposure.
REPRODUCTIVE TOXICITY:
Calcium hypochlorite has been tested for teratogenicity in laboratory
animals. Results of this study have shown that calcium hypochlorite is
not a teratogen.
CARCINOGENICITY:
This product is not known or reported to be carcinogenic by any
reference source, including: IARC, OSHA, NTP or EPA.
One hundred mice were exposed dermally 3 times a week for 18 months to
a solution of calcium hypochlorite. Histopathological examination
failed to show an increased incidence of tumors.
IARC (International Agency for Research on Cancer) reviewed studies
conducted with several hypochlorite salts. IARC has classified
hypochlorite salts as having inadequate evidence for carcinogenicity
to humans and animals. IARC therefore considers hypochlorite salts to
be not classifiable as to their carcinogenicity to humans.
MUTAGENICITY:
Calcium hypochlorite has been tested in the Dominant lethal assay in
male mice, and it did not induce a dominant lethal response.
00002-0182- 14432
Page 6 of 11
HTH?DRY CHLORINE GRANULAR
Calcium hypochlorite has been reported to produce mutagenic activity
in two in vitro assays. It has, however, been shown to lack the
capability to produce mutations in animals based on results from the
micronucleus assay. In vitro assays frequently are inappropriate to
judge the mutagenic potential of bactericidal chemicals due to a high
degree of cellular toxicity. The concentration which produces
mutations in these in vitro assays is significantly greater than the
concentrations used for disinfection. Based on high cellular toxicity in
in vitro assays and the lack of mutagenicity in animals, the risk of
genetic damage to humans is judged not significant.
AQUATIC TOXICITY:
Bluegill, 96 hr. LC50: 0.088 mg/l (nominal, static)
Rainbow trout, 96 hr. LC50: 0.16 mg/l (nominal, static)
Daphnia magna, 48 hr. LC50: 0.11 mg/l (nominal, static)
TOXICITY TO WILDLIFE:
Bobwhite quail, dietary LC50: > 5,000 ppm
Mallard ducklings, dietary LC50: > 5,000 ppm
Bobwhite quail, oral LD50: 3474 mg/kg.
