Revision Date: 10-15-14 519 BRE N NTAG MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET — Chlorine SECTION 11: TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION ANIMAL TOXICOLOGY ACUTE INHALATION EFFECTS Inhalation LCso: 293 ppm— 1 hour(rat) Inhalation LCso: 137 ppm— 1 hour(mouse) Concentrations of 1-3 ppm can cause irritation of the nose and mucous membranes of the upper respiratory tract followed by headache and coughing. 5-15 ppm can cause moderate irritation of respiratory tract with 30 ppm causing chest pain, vomiting, and breathlessness. Exposure to concentration in excess of 14 ppm for 30 minutes or more may result in severe pulmonary damage. CNS depression ranging from lethargy to coma may develop in patients with severe pulmonary injury. A 30-minute exposure to 430 ppm or more chlorine can be fatal to humans. as are longer exposures (1-1.5 hr)to concentrations in the range of 34-51 ppm. Symptoms of pulmonary congestion and edema may develop after a latency period of several hours following severe acute exposure to chlorine. Delayed effects may include bronchopneumonia, lobar pneumonia, purulent pleurisy, and tubercular meningitis, and have caused death in soldiers exposed to chlorine gas. Industrial accidents resulting in severe chlorine exposure have also been associates with delayed-onset pulmonary symptoms. Although long lasting sequelae have not generally been seen. Exposures to 1 ppm, for 8 hours have caused transient decreased pulmonary capacity, as measured by pulmonary function tests. In persons exposed to acute, non-lethal levels, decreased pulmonary capacity is followed by a gradual return to normal. In some cases long lasting effects have been observed. Odor does not provide an adequate warning of exposure. In fact, there is evidence to suggest that some degree of olfactory impairment occurs in chlorine workers. Sensory irritation tolerance to chlorine exposure developed in rats when the rats were pretreated with 1 ppm of chlorine. It is not known whether humans develop tolerance. Chlorine exposure was reported to cause altered pulmonary function in experimental animals following 10-min exposures. EFFECTS FOLLOWING PROLONGED OR REPEATED EXPOSURE Chronic exposure to chlorine at concentrations of approximately 0.8-1.0 ppm has been linked with reduction in pulmonary function and reactive airway dysfunction. In addition,there is evidence that men exposed to concentration of the order of 5 ppm suffer from diseases of the bronchi and become predisposed to tuberculosis. Several studies of workers exposed to mean chlorine concentrations below 1 ppm did not demonstrate any significant abnormalities. There was gross evidence of an inflammatory reaction in the upper and lower respiratory tract among animals exposed to a 9 ppm concentration of chlorine (6h/d, 5 d/wk, 6 wk)with a lesser effect at 3 ppm. Exposure of rhesus monkeys to 2.3 ppm chlorine for one year was associated with only mild histological changes in the respiratory epithelium of the nasal passages and trachea(loss of cilia and goblet cells in affected areas). Histapathologic signs of irritation and inflammation were seen in the nasal passages of rats and mice exposed to chlorine gas at concentrations up to 2.5 ppm (6h/d, 5 d/wk) for 2 years. Evidence that chlorine may have immunological effects is based on studies using sodium hypochlorite in drinking water at 5, 15, and 30 ppm. The effects attributed to sodium hypochlorite treatment (at the high dose only) were reductions of spleen weight. DTH reactions, oxidative metabolism by macrophages and elevated prostaglandin E2 production. The toxicological significance of these effects is not clear.

Revised: 05/17/2013 2/8 BRENN TAGA MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET — Chlorine CARCINOGENICITY The likelihood of this material causing cancer in humans is not clear from the available information. Chlorine gas was not carcinogenic in mice and rats exposed to concentrations up to 2.5 ppm (6h/d, 5 d/wk) for 2 years. In a study by the national Toxicology Program with drinking water containing 70, 140, or 275 ppm chlorine,there was equivocal evidence of mononuclear cell leukemia in fellable rats only. The incidence of malignant tumors in the treated rats was not found to differ from that of control group rats in a seven generation reproduction study. Chlorine does not appear to be a carcinogenic or tumor-promoting agent in lab animals. Chlorine is not listed the IARC, NTP or OSHA carcinogen lists. The ACGIH classifies chlorine in category A4—Not Classifiable as a Human Carcinogen. GENOTOXICITY: Findings from genotoxicity studies of chlorine have been mixed with no obvious pattern. It has been reported mutation were detected in S. typhimurium and that chromosome aberrations were detected in human lymphocytes. The administration of large doses of chlorine (4 to 8 mg/kg/day)to male mice was associated with an increase in sperm head, but no chromosome aberrations. This effect was assumed to represent chromosomal damage; however,the same study reported than chlorine was negative in bone marrow tests for chromosomal damage. REPRODUCTIVE/DEVELOPMENTAL TOXICITY Based on available data, it is not known whether chlorine causes effects on reproduction. Rats exposed by ingestion to highly chlorinated drinking water (100 ppm) daily for seven generations did not display any adverse reproductive effects. In another reproduction study,chlorine was administered by gavage in water at doses of 1.0,2.0 and 5.0 mg chlorine/kg/day to male and female rats. Males were treated for 56 days and females for 14 days prior to mating. No statistical differences were observed between the control and dose group in litter survival, litter size and pup weight. Adult male rats exposed up to 5.0 mg/kg-day showed no adverse reproductive effects. No difference in reproductive parameters were noted between mice consuming distilled water and mice consuming city drinking water. In a second study of the affect of water chlorinate ion on reproduction, the investigators reported no significant overall influence on the incidence of malformed fetuses(skeletal or visceral malformation) that could be attributed to the chlorination of drinking water. DEVELOPMENTAL Based on available data, it is not know whether exposure of the mother to this material can cause harm to the fetus. Higher frequencies of shorter body length and small cranial circumference were seen in infants born to mothers who drank chlorinated water(i.e. exposure was to chlorinate by-products). In general,animal studies have demonstrated no evidence of reproductive or teratogenic effects of chlorine. The exposure of rats to up to 100 ppm chlorine for seven consecutive generations did not produce any detectable adverse effects on reproduction or development. SECTION 12: ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION ENVIROMENTAL FATE Water:Chlorine is a strong oxidizer and will react rapidly with inorganic compounds. Chlorine will also oxidize organic compounds,but a slower rate than inorganic compounds. The presence of light accelerates the dissipation of chlorine in water. ECOTOXICITY Acute LC50(96 Hours) for Fathead Minnow: 0.07-0.15 ppm Acute LCso(96 Hours) for Bluegill: 0.44 mg/L Revision Date: 10-15-14 7/9 B RE N N TAG MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET — Chlorine SECTION 13: DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS Processing, use or contamination of this product may change the waste management options. All disposals of this material must be done in accordance with Federal, state and local regulations.Waste characterization and compliance with disposal regulations are the responsibilities of the waste generator. SPILL RESIDUES Chlorine gas will disperse to the atmosphere leaving no residue. Chlorine may be neutralized by introducing it into caustic soda, soda ash, or hydrated lime. Liquid and/or solid residues from neutralization must be disposed of in a permitted waste management facility. Consult Federal, state, or local disposal authorities for approved procedures.
