Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:EYE EFFECTS: CORROSIVE AND IRRITATING
    TO THE EYES. CONTACT WITH LIQUID OR VAPOR CAUSES PAINFUL BURNS AND
    ULCERATIONS. BURNS TO EYES RESULT IN LESIONS AND POSSIBLE LOSS OF
    VISION. SKIN EFFECTS: CORROSI VE AND IRRITATING TO THE SKIN AND ALL
    LIVING TISSUE. IT HYDROLYZES VERY RAPIDLY, YIELDING HYDROCHLORIC
    ACID. SKIN BURNS AND MUCOSAL IRRITATION ARE LIKE THAT FROM EXPOSURE
    TO VOLATILE INORGANIC ACIDS.  CHLORINE BURNS EXHIBIT SEVERE PAIN,
    REDNESS, POSSIBLE SWELLING AND EARLY NECROSIS. INGESTION EFFECTS:
    INGESTION UNLIKELY. INHALATION EFFECTS: CORROSIVE AND IRRITATING TO
    UPPER AND LOWER RESPIRATORY TR ACT (SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS OF
    OVEREXPOSURE)
Effects of Overexposure:HEALTH HAZARDS ACUTE AND CHRONIC (CONT): AND
    ALL MUCOSAL TISSUE. SYMPTOMS INCLUDE LACRIMATION, COUGH, LABORED
    BREATHING AND EXCESSIVE SALIVARY AND SPUTUM FORMATION. EXCESSIVE
    IRRITATION OF THE LUNGS C AUSES ACUTE PNEUMONITIS AND PULMONARY
    EDEMA, WHICH COULD BE FATAL. RESIDUAL PULMONARY MALFUNCTION MAY
    ALSO OCCUR. CHEMICAL PNEUMONITIS AND PULMONARY EDEMA MAY RESULT
    FROM EXPOSURE TO LOWER RESPIRATORYTRACT AND DEEP LUNG.  SOME
    EXPERIMENTAL EVIDENCE INDICATES CHLORINE CAUSES MUTAGENIC,
    TERATOGENIC, AND REPRODUCTIVE EFFECTS IN ANIMAL STUDIES.  EXPOSURE

*  First Aid Measures  *
First Aid:EYES: PERSONS WITH POTENTIAL EXPOSURE SHOULD NOT WEAR CONTACT
    LENSES. FLUSH CONTAMINATED EYE(S) WITH COPIOUS QUANTITIES OF WATER.
    PART EYELIDS TO ASSURE COMPLETE FLUSHING. CONTINUE FOR A MINIMUM OF
    CONTAMINATED CLOTHING AS RAPIDLY AS POSSIBLE. FLUSH AFFECTED AREA
    WITH COPIOUS QUANTITIES OF WATER. SEEK IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION.
    INGESTION : CONTACT A PHYSICIAN IMMEDIATELY . INHALATION: PROMPT
    MEDICAL ATTENTION IS MANDATORY IN ALL CASES OF OVEREXPOSURE. RESCUE
    PERSONNEL SHOULD BE EQUIPPED WITH SELF CONTAINED BREATHING

Fire Fighting Procedures:USE NIOSH-APPROVED SCBA AND FULL PROTECTIVE
    EQUIPMENT .
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:HAZARDOUS COMBUSTION PRODUCTS,
    SENSITIVITY TO MECHANICAL SHOCK, SENSITIVITY TO STATIC DISCHARGE:
    NONE. COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS BURN IN CHLORINE AS THEY DO IN OXYGEN.
*  Accidental Release Measures  *
Spill Release Procedures:EVACUATE ALL PERSONNEL FROM AFFECTED AREA. USE
    APPROPRIATE PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT. IF LEAK IN USER'S EQUIP, BE
    CERTAIN TO PURGE PIPING WITH INERT GAS PRIOR TO ATTEMPTING REPAIRS.
    IF LEAK IS IN CONTAINER  OR CONTAINER VALVE, CONTACT APPROPRIATE
    LOCATION.
*Handling and Storage  *
Handling and Storage Precautions:ELECTRICAL CLASSIFICATION:
    NON-HAZARDOUS.  MOST METALS CORRODE RAPIDLY WITH WET CHLORINE.
    SYSTEMS MUST BE KEPT DRY. LEAD, GOLD, HASTELLOY MOST RESISTANT TO
    WET CHLORINE. USE ONLY IN WELL-VENTILATED AR EAS.VALVE PROTECTION
    CAPS MUST REMAIN IN PLACE UNLESS CONTAINER IS SECURED WITH VALVE
    (ECOLOGICAL)
Other Precautions:NEVER CARRY A COMPRESSED GAS CYLINDER OR A CONTAINER
    OF A GAS IN CRYOGENIC LIQUID FORM IN AN ENCLOSED SPACE SUCH AS A
    CAR TRUNK, VAN OR STATION WAGON. A LEAK CAN RESULT IN A FIRE,
    EXPLOSION, ASPHYXIAT ION OR A TOXIC EXPOSURE.
