FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD DATA: (CONTINUED) materials to burn without oxygen. Water is effective only as a cooling media to reduce the reaction rate, however, water should not be applied directly to the chlorine leak. Where practical attempts should be made to reduce the available reactants through the isolation of the reaction from the chemical supply. This should be attempted only by properly trained personnel using prescribed protective equipment. FIRE 6 EXPLOSION HAZARDS: May react to cause fire and/or explosion upon contact with many organic compounds, ammonia, hydrogen, or many metals, and with all metals, including steel, at elevated temperatures. FIRE-FIGHTING EQUIPMENT: A positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus for respiratory protection and protective c1othing. 4. REACTIVITY DATA: STABILITY: (CONDITIONS TO AVOID) Avoid proximity to flammable materials including chemicals. INCOMPATIBILITY: (SPECIFIC MATERIALS TO AVOID) Many organic compounds, ammonia, hydrogen, moist or hot steel, and many metals. May react explosively with some organics under confinement. HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS: None. HAZARDOUS POLYMERIZATION: Will not occur. 5.

ENVIRONMENTAL AND DISPOSAL INFORMATION: ACTION TO TAKE FOR SPILLS/LEAKS: Move unprotected personnel cross-wind to a clear area. Do not use water directly on a chlorine leak. A fog nozzle may be used to absorb gas. The leak should be isolated or controlled by trained personnel using prescribed protective equipment. 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 (Na2CO3), or hydrated lime (Ca (OH)2). Caustic and soda ash solutions should contain approximately 3 pounds per gallon, lime 1 pound per gallon, for 1 pound chlorine. 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.

LIQUID Effective Date: 07/16/90 Date Printed: 07/18/90 MSDS:001122 6. HEALTH HAZARD DATA: (CONTINUED) SYSTEMIC & OTHER EFFECTS: Excessive exposure may cause liver, lung and kidney effects, severe irritation to upper respiratory tract and lungs, and lung injury. Excessive exposure to chlorine gas has been known to also cause erosion of tooth enamel. No evidence has been found that chlorine is a carcinogen. Limited data suggests that chlorine is not teratogenic but may be slightly embryotoxic when administered at high doses in drinking water to pregnant rats. In animal studies, has been shown not to interfere with reproduction. Results of mutagenicity tests in animals have been negative. Has been shown to have mutagenic activity in bacteria. 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. Remove contaminated clothing immediately and launder before reuse. INGESTION: No adverse effects anticipated by this route of exposure due to gaseous state. INHALATION: Remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Call a physician. NOTE TO PHYSICIAN: If burn is present, treat as any thermal burn, after decontamination. Excellent warning properties force rapid escape from chlorine gas; thus most inhalations are mild to moderate. If escape is not possible, exposure to high (Continued on Page 5) (R) Indicates a trademark of The Dow Chemical Company * An Operating Unit Of The Dow Chemical Company DO A 023818 CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET Dow Chemical U.S.A.* Midland, Ml 4867A Emergency Phone: 517-636-AAOO Product Code: 16295 Page: 5 PRODUCT NAME: CHLORINE, LIQUID Effective Date: 07/16/90 Date Printed: 07/18/90 MSDS:001122 7. FIRST AID: (CONTINUED) 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 moderate inhalation. A severe inhalation should be hospitalized and treated as a respiratory emergency. Any chlorine inhalation in an individual with compromised pulmonary function (COPD) should be regarded as a severe inhalation and a respiratory emergency. 8. HANDLING PRECAUTIONS: EXPOSURE GUIDELINE (S) : Chlorine: ACGIH TLV is 1 ppm TWA, 3 ppm STEL; OSHA PEL is 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 materJal. 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.

HANDLING PRECAUTIONS: (CONTINUED) EYE PROTECTION: Use chemical goggles. If vapor exposure causes eye irritation, use a positive pressure full-face respirator. Eye wash fountain should be located in immediate work area. 9. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN IN HANDLING AND STORAGE: No attempt should be made to handle or store chlorine without a complete review of the Chlorine Manual, available from the Chlorine Institute, Inc., 2001 L Street N.W., Washington, DC 20036.
