More Chlorine Gas MSDSMore Chlorine Gas MSDSACUTE HEALTH EFFECTS: CHLORINE IS A POTENT IRRITANT TO THE MUCOUSMEMBRANES OF THE EYES, NOSE AND THROAT, AND TO THE LININGS OF THEENTIRE RESPIRATORY TRACT. THE EXTENT OF INJURY DEPENDS UPONCONCENTRATION AND DURATION OF EXPOSURE. DEATH MAY OCCUR UNDERSEVERE EXPOSURE. IN HIGH CONCENTRATIONS, CHLORINE MAY CAUSE SKINIRRITATION, WITH SENSATIONS OF BURNING AND PRICKLING, INFLAMMATION
AND BLISTER FORMATION. LIQUID CHLORINE MAY CAUSE SERIOUS DIRECT AND
EYE BURNS ON CONTACT.
CHRONIC HEALTH EFFECTS: CHRONIC EXPOSURE TO CHLORINE GAS CAN CAUSECORROSION OF THE TEETH, DISEASES OF THE LUNG, AND MAY PREDISPOSE THEINDIVIDUAL TO LUNG INFECTIONS, INCLUDING TUBERCULOSIS.
INHALATION: MAY CAUSE SEVERE IRRITATION TO THE RESPIRATORY TRACTFOLLOWED BY COUGHING, BURNING, CHEST PAIN, VOMITING, HEADACHE,
ANXIETY AND FEELING OF SUFFOCATION. SEVERE EXPOSURE MAY CAUSEPNEUMONITIS AND PULMONARY EDEMA. REPEATED EXPOSURE TO CHLORINE MAYRESULT IN REDUCED PULMONARY CAPACITY AND DENTAL EROSION.
DIRECT CONTACT: MAY CAUSE BURNS, BLISTERING AND TISSUE DESTRUCTION
EYE CONTACT: LIQUID AND OR HIGH CONCENTRATIONS OF CHLORINE GAS INCONTACT WITH THE EYES WILL CAUSE EXTREME IRRITATION AND OR BURNS
