INGREDIENT DATA
SODIUM HYPOCHLORITE:
available chlorine, as chlorine
TLV TWA: 0.5 ppm, 1.5 mg/m続: STEL: 1 ppm, 2.9 mg/m続
ES Peak: 1 ppm, 3 mg/m続
CEL TWA: 2 mg/m続 (compare WEEL TWA)
The odour threshold is likely to be similar to that of chlorine, 0.3 ppm.
Acute, subchronic, and chronic toxicity studies have shown no significant
treatment related effects. High concentrations may produce moderate to
severe eye irritation, but not permanent injury. High doses also appear to
be embryotoxic. Since nearly all sodium hypochlorite is handled as aqueous
solution, airborne exposure is likely to be as an aerosol, or mist. Sodium
hypochlorite dissociates in water to form free hypochlorous acid in
equilibrium. The toxic effects are likely to be similar to those of
chlorine or sodium hydroxide.
WATER:
No exposure limits set by NOHSC or ACGIH.

Section 8 - EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION
EYE
- Safety glasses with side shields
- Chemical goggles.
- Contact lenses may pose a special hazard; soft contact lenses may absorb and
concentrate irritants. A written policy document, describing the wearing of lens
or restrictions on use, should be created for each workplace or task. This
should include a review of lens absorption and adsorption for the class of
chemicals in use and an account of injury experience. Medical and first-aid
personnel should be trained in their removal and suitable equipment should be
readily available. In the event of chemical exposure, begin eye irrigation
immediately and remove contact lens as soon as practicable. Lens should be
removed at the first signs of eye redness or irritation - lens should be removed
in a clean environment only after workers have washed hands thoroughly. [CDC
NIOSH Current Intelligence Bulletin 59].
HANDS/FEET
Wear chemical protective gloves, eg. PVC.
Wear safety footwear or safety gumboots, eg. Rubber.
OTHER
- Overalls.
- P.V.C. apron.
- Barrier cream.
- Skin cleansing cream.
- Eye wash unit.
RESPIRATOR
Selection of the Class and Type of respirator will depend upon the level of
breathing zone contaminant and the chemical nature of the contaminant.
Protection Factors (defined as the ratio of contaminant outside and inside the
mask) may also be important.

* - Continuous Flow ** - Continuous-flow or positive pressure demand.
The local concentration of material, quantity and
conditions of use determine the type of personal
protective equipment required.
For further information consult site specific
CHEMWATCH data (if available), or your
Occupational Health and Safety Advisor.
ENGINEERING CONTROLS
General exhaust is adequate under normal operating conditions. If risk of
overexposure exists, wear SAA approved respirator. Correct fit is essential to
obtain adequate protection. Provide adequate ventilation in warehouse or closed
storage areas.

Section 11 - TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS
ACUTE HEALTH EFFECTS
SWALLOWED
The material has NOT been classified by EC Directives or other classification
systems as "harmful by ingestion". This is because of the lack of corroborating
animal or human evidence. The material may still be damaging to the health of
the individual, following ingestion, especially where pre-existing organ (e.g
liver, kidney) damage is evident. Present definitions of harmful or toxic
substances are generally based on doses producing mortality rather than those
producing morbidity (disease, ill-health). Gastrointestinal tract discomfort may
produce nausea and vomiting. In an occupational setting however, ingestion of
insignificant quantities is not thought to be cause for concern.
EYE
Although the liquid is not thought to be an irritant (as classified by EC
Directives), direct contact with the eye may produce transient discomfort
characterised by tearing or conjunctival redness (as with windburn).
SKIN
The material is not thought to produce adverse health effects or skin irritation
following contact (as classified by EC Directives using animal models).
Nevertheless, good hygiene practice requires that exposure be kept to a minimum
and that suitable gloves be used in an occupational setting.
Entry into the blood-stream, through, for example, cuts, abrasions or lesions,

Section 11 - TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
may produce systemic injury with harmful effects. Examine the skin prior to the
use of the material and ensure that any external damage is suitably protected.
INHALED
Not normally a hazard due to non-volatile nature of product.
The material is not thought to produce adverse health effects or irritation of
the respiratory tract (as classified by EC Directives using animal models).
Nevertheless, good hygiene practice requires that exposure be kept to a minimum
and that suitable control measures be used in an occupational setting.
CHRONIC HEALTH EFFECTS
On the basis, primarily, of animal experiments, concern has been expressed by at
least one classification body that the material may produce carcinogenic or
mutagenic effects; in respect of the available information, however, there
presently exists inadequate data for making a satisfactory assessment.
TOXICITY AND IRRITATION
Not available. Refer to individual constituents.

approved waste sites.
DO NOT discharge into sewer or waterways.
Refer to data for ingredients, which follows:
