Inhalation, Skin contact, Eye contact.
|
|
Inhalation |
Chlorine is irritating to the nose, throat, and lungs. Symptoms include:coughing, shortness of breath, chest pain, nausea, vomiting, and dizziness. Pulmonary edema (swelling) and chemical pneumonia can develop hours after exposure. High concentrations may cause unconsciousness and death. |
|
Skin Contact / Absorption |
High concentrations can cause severe irritation and tissue destruction.Symptoms include: burning and prickling sensations, reddening, and blisters. Direct contact with liquid causes severe local irritation, blistering and burns. |
|
Eye Contact |
A severe irritant of the eyes. Symptoms include: stinging and burning sensation with excessive tear production. Direct contact with liquid may cause burns, permanent damage, and possibly blindness. |
|
Ingestion. |
Not a likely route of exposure as chlorine is a gas at room temperature.Liquid may cause pain, burning, thirst, abdominal cramps, nausea, and vomiting. Irritation and swelling of the throat causes difficulty breathing. |
|
Exposure Limits. |
ACGIH/TLV-TWA: 0.5ppm
ACGIH/TLV-STEL: 1.0ppm |
|
Eyes
|
If material gets into the eyes, immediately flush eyes gently with water for at least 15 minutes while holding eyelids apart. If symptoms develop as a result of vapor exposure, immediately move individual away from exposure and into fresh air before flushing as recommended above. Seek immediate medical attention.
|
|
Skin
|
Immediately flush skin with water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Seek immediate medical attention. Wash clothing before reuse and discard contaminated shoes.
|
|
Swallowing
|
Seek immediate medical attention. Do not induce vomiting. Vomiting will cause further damage to the mouth and throat. If individual is conscious and alert, immediately rinse mouth with water and give milk or water to drink. If possible, do not leave individual unattended.
|
|
Inhalation
|
If symptoms develop, immediately move individual away from exposure and into fresh air. Seek immediate medical attention; keep person warm and quiet. If person is not breathing, begin artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, administer oxygen.
|
|

Fire and Explosion Hazards
|
No special fire hazards are known to be associated with this product.
|
|
Extinguishing Media
|
Use an extinguishing media appropriate for surrounding fire..
|
|
Fire Fighting Instructions
|
Water may be used to keep fire-exposed containers cool until fire is out. Wear a self-contained breathing apparatus with a full facepiece operated in the positive pressure demand mode with appropriate turn-out gear and chemical resistant personal protective equipment. Refer to the personal protective equipmentsection of this MSDS.

Health - 3, Flammability - 0, Reactivity - 1
|
|
Conditions of Flammability |
Does not burn. Note that chlorine is a strong oxidizing agent and is a serious fire risk due to its reactivity. |
|
Means of Extinction |
Product does not burn. Where fire is involved use any fire fighting agent that is appropriate extinguishing media for material that is supplying the fuel to the fire.

|
Hazardous Combustible Products |
Toxic products are formed when combustibles burn in chlorine. Water sprayed directly on chlorine forms corrosive hypochlorous and hydrochloric acids. |
|
Special Fire Fighting Procedures |
Wear NIOSH-approved self-contained breathing apparatus and protective clothing. Remove chlorine containers from fire area if safe to do so. Use water spray to cool containers, knock down fumes, and to direct escaping gas away from persons. Use water with caution since chlorine in water is very corrosive. Ventilate area. Chlorine gas is heavier than air and may
collect in low areas. |
|
Explosion Hazard |
May react to cause fire and explosion upon contact with many organic compounds, ammonia, hydrogen, and many metals at elevated temperatures. |
|
Small Spill
|
Dilute with water and absorb onto a noncombustible absorbent material.
|
|
Large Spill
|
Prevent run-off to sewers, streams or other bodies of water. If run-off occurs, notify proper authorities as required, that a spill has occurred. Collect and add slowly to large volume of water. Persons not wearing protective equipment should be excluded from area of spill until clean-up is completed. Stop spill at source. Dike to prevent spreading. Pump to salvage ank.
|
|
Handling
|
Containers of this material may be hazardous when emptied. Since emptied containers retain product residues (vapor, liquid, and/or solid), all hazard precautions given in the data sheet must be observed. Emergency eyewash fountains and safety showers should be available in the immediate vicinity of potential exposure
|
Handling Procedures:
Store containers as per Chlorine Institute Guidelines. Use proper equipment for lifting and transporting all containers. Use sensible industrial hygiene and housekeeping practices. Wash thoroughly after handling.Avoid all situations that could lead to harmful exposure. Liquid chlorine lines must have suitable expansion chambers between block valves dues to high coefficient of expansion. Inspect piping and containers used for chlorine service on a regular basis. Emergency equipment should be readily available. An emergency plan and special training where chlorine is used should be established.
Storage Requirements:
Store in a cool, dry location outdoors or in well-ventilated areas, detached/segregated areas of noncombustible materials. Refer to Chlorine Institute guidelines and local regulations for other storage requirements. Keep containers tightly closed, and away from incompatible materials. Store away from sunlight and sources of heat and ignition. 68 kg cylinders should be stored in an upright position. Prevent exposing cylinders to temperatures above 51oC.
|
Eye Protection
|
Chemical splash goggles and face shield (8" min.) in compliance with OSHA regulations are advised; however, OSHA regulations also permit other type safety glasses. (Consult your industrial hygienist.)
|
|
Skin Protection
|
Wear impervious gloves (consult your safety equipment supplier).To prevent skin contact, wear impervious clothing and boots..
|
|
Respiratory Protections
|
If overexposure has been determined or documented, a NIOSH/MSHA jointly approved air supplied respirator is advised in absence of proper environmental control. OSHA regulations also permit other NIOSH/MSHA respirators under specified conditions. (See your safety equipment supplier.) Engineering or administrative controls should be implemented to reduce exposure.
|
|
Engineering Controls
|
Provide sufficient mechanical (general and/or local exhaust) ventilation to maintain exposure below level of overexposure (from known, suspected or apparent adverse effects).
