<br />form spontaneously combustible compounds. May react explosively with nitro- and chloro - organic compounds as well as
<br />acids and reducing agents. Acidification liberates chlorine gas.
<br />Hazardous Decomposition or Byproducts: Chlorine gas. Decomposes with heat and reacts with acids.
<br />Hazardous gases /vapors produced are hypochlorous acid, chlorine and hydrochloric acid. Composition depends upon
<br />temperature and decrease in pH. Additional decomposition products, which depend on pH, temperature and time, are
<br />sodium chloride and chlorate, and ox ygen.

<br />Note: Sodium Hypochlorite reacts violently with amines and ammonium salts. Solutions are reactive with common cleaning
<br />products such as toilet bowl cleaners, rust removers, vinegar, acids, organics and ammonia products to produce hazardous
<br />gases such as chlorine and other chlorinated species.

<br />is not irrigated immediately after it has been exposed permanent eye damage may occur. Strict adherence to first aid
<br />measures followinq anv exposure is essential. SPEED IS ESSENTIAL!

<br />ANTIDOTES unless told to do so by poison control center or medical
<br />physician. DO NOT give anything by mouth to an unconscious
<br />person. If spontaneous vomiting occurs, have victim lean forward with

<br />NOTE TO PHYSICIAN(S): Pre - existing medical conditions may be aggravated by exposures affecting target organs. There
<br />are no known chronic effects. Probable mucosal damage may contraindicate the use of gastric lavage. In addition to the
<br />alkalinity of this product, the continued generation of chlorine gas after ingestion can damage further the stomach mucous,
<br />depending on the amount ingested. Consideration may be given to removal of the product from the stomach, taking care to
<br />avoid perforation of esophagus or stomach. An ounce of 1 % sodium thiosulfate or milk of magnesia is helpful.
