DISPOSAL METHOD: Prior to disposal, the active chlorine must be reduced or destroyed. Chlorine may be absorbed in dilute solutions of caustic (NaOH), soda ash (Na2C03), or hydrated lime (Ca (OH)2). For each 1 pound of chlorine, use approximately 3 pounds per gallon caustic or soda ash or 1 pound per gallon lime. Local, municipal or state authorities should be contacted for disposal of resultant product. 6. HEALTH HAZARD DATA: EYE: May cause severe irritation with corneal injury which may result in permanent impairment of vision, even blindness. SKIN CONTACT: Short single exposure may cause severe skin burns. SKIN ABSORPTION: The dermal LD50 has not been determined. INGESTION: Ingestion is unlikely due to physical state. INHALATION: A single brief (minutes) inhalation exposure to easily attainable concentrations may cause serious adverse effects, even death. Excessive exposure may cause severe irritation to upper respiratory tract and lungs and may cause lung injury. The LC50 for mice was 137 ppm and for rats 293 ppm for 1 hour. SYSTEMIC & OTHER EFFECTS: Excessive exposure may cause liver, lung and kidney effects. Excessive exposure may cause severe irritation to upper respiratory tract and lungs. Excessive exposure may cause lung injury. Excessive exposure to chlorine gas has been known to also cause erosion of tooth enamel. CANCER INFORMATION: Did not cause cancer in long-term animal studies.

HEALTH HAZARD DATA: (CONTINUED) TERATOLOGY (BIRTH DEFECTS): Limited data suggests that chlorine is not teratagenic but may be slightly embryotoxic when administered at high doses in drinking water to pregnant rats. REPRODUCTIVE EFFECTS: In animal studies, has been shown not to interfere with reproduction. MUTAGENICITY (EFFECTS ON GENETIC MATERIAL): Has been shown to have mutagenic activity in bacteria. Results of mutagencity tests in animals have been negative. 7. FIRST AID: EYES: Immediate and continuous irrigation with flowing water for at least 30 minutes is imperative. Prompt medical consultation is essentia I. SKIN: Wash off in flowing water or shower. INGESTION: No adverse effects anticipated by this route of exposure. INHALATION: Remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, oxygen should be administered by qualified personnel. Call a physician or transport to a medical facility. NOTE TO PHYSICIAN: Excellent warning properties force rapid escape from chlorine gas; thus most inhalations are mild to moderate. If escape is not possible, exposure to high concentrations for a very short time can result in dyspnea, hemoptysis and cyanosis with later complications being tracheobronchopneumonitis and pulmonary edema. Oxygen, intermittent positive pressure breathing and aerosolized bronchodi1ators are of therapeutic value in the light to (CONTINUED ON PAGE 5) (R) Indicates a trademark of The Dow Chemical Company DO A 061212 CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET Page: 4 Product: CHLORINE.

A severe inhalation should be hospitalized and treated as a respiratory emergency. Any chlorine inhalation in an individual with compromised pulmonary function (C0PD) should be regarded as a severe inhalation and a respiratory emergency. If a burn is present, treat as any thermal burn, after decontamination. 8. HANDLING PRECAUTIONS: EXPOSURE GUIDELINE (S) : Chlorine: ACGIH TLV and 0SHA PEL are 0.5 ppm TWA, 1 ppm STEL. VENTILATION: Control airborne concentrations below the exposure guideline. Use only with adequate ventilation. Local exhaust ventilation may be necessary for some operations. Lethal concentrations may exist in areas with poor ventilation. RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: Atmospheric levels should be maintained below the exposure guideline. When respiratory protection is required for certain operations, use an approved air-purifying respirator. SKIN PROTECTION: Use protective clothing impervious to this material. Selection of specific items such as gloves, boots, apron, or full-body suit will depend on operation. Safety shower should be located in immediate work area. Remove con taminated clothing immediately and launder before reuse. EYE PROTECTION: Use chemical goggles. If vapor exposure causes eye discomfort, use a full-face respirator. Eye wash fountain should be located in immediate work area.
