STRONG OXIDIZER.
CONTACT WITH OTHER MATERIAL MAY CAUSE FIRE.
VIOLENTLY DECOMPOSES AT ELEVATED TEMPERATURES.
HARMFUL IF INHALED OR SWALLOWED 
Reacts violently with sulfur and sulfur-containing materials, red phosphorus and strong reducing agents.
At low pH, reacts releasing corrosive and dangerously reactive chlorine dioxide.
Routes of Entry:
Inhalation: Is harmful
Ingestion: Is harmful
Skin Contact: Severe irritation or burns.
Eye Contact: Severe irritation or burns.
Chronic Exposure: No information found.
Aggravation of Pre-existing Conditions Damaged skin.

Symptoms of Exposure:
Inhalation: Inhalation of  dust may cause irritation of the muscus membranes and respiatory
tract. Symptoms may include coughing, bloody nose, and sneezing. severe exposure may cause lung
damage.
Skin Contact/absortion: Direct contact may cause irritation and or burns with symptoms of redness ,
itching, swelling and posssible destruction of tissue.
Eye Contact: Direct contact may cause irritation and or burns with symptoms of redness , itching,
swelling and posssible destruction of tissue.
Ingestion: Ingestion may cause gastroenteritis with any or all of the following symptoms: nausea,
vomiting, lethargy, diarrha, bleeding, or ulceration. Acute ingestion of large quantities may also cause
anemia due to the oxidizing affects of the chemical.

4. First Aid Measures
Skin: Remove contaminated clothing and keep it dry until powder can be removed and the garment washed..
Rinse with water. Wash the affected area with soap and water. If irritation develops, get medical attention.
Eyes: Flush with water for a minimum of 15 minutes. Get medical attention.
Inhalation: If irritation or other symptoms are experienced, remove victim to fresh air. If symptoms persist get medical
attention.
Ingestion:DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. DO NOT GIVE ANYTHING BY MOUTH TO AN UNCONSCIOUS
PERSON. Otherwise rinse mouth with water and give 8 to 10 ounces (or 250 to 300 ml) of milk, egg
whites or gelatin solution. Get medical attention immediately.

5. Fire-Fighting Measures
Conditions Of Flammability :
Combustion Hazard : None, does not burn.
Means To Extinguish: Use whatever is appropriate for surrounding fire.
Explosion: Contact with Acid may produce the spontaneously explosive gas Chlorine Dioxide.
                Greatly Increases the burn rate of combustable materials.
                Fire or Excessive heat may produce hazardous or explosive decomposition.
                This product can cause dust explosion.

Flash Point & Method: Not applicable
Upper Flammability Limit: Not applicable
Lower Flammability Limit: Not applicable
Auto-Ignition Temperature: Not applicable
Firefighters should wear proper protective equipment and self-contained breathing apparatus
with full facepiece operated in positive pressure mode. Move exposed containers from fire area if it can be done without risk.
Use water to keep fire-exposed containers cool. Fight fire from protected location

6. Accidental Release Measures
Leak Or Spill Procedures : Flush to sewer with large amounts of water.
DO NOT USE RAGS, SAWDUST OR OTHER COMBUSTIBLE ABSORBENTS.
Waste Control Procedures :
Consult supplier regarding disposal of reclaimed sodium chlorite.

11. Toxicological Information
Skin Contact: Irritating to the skin if not washed off promptly. Dermatitis is likely to
occur from repeated or prolonged contact.
Skin Absorption: Not available
Eye Contact: Causes severe eye irritation. May cause permanent damage because
of its corrosive properties.
Inhalation: Dust is irritating to the nose and throat.
Ingestion: Will irritate and may cause corrosion of the gastrointestinal tract.
May cause vomiting, nausea, diarrhea, cramps and pain.
May damage blood cells, liver or kidney.
IARC Category: 3
Exposure Limits: Not available
Irritancy: Severe (corrosive)
Sensitization: Not reported as a human sensitizer.
Carcinogenicity: Does not appear in reference lists.
Teratogenicity & Mutagenicity: Not teratogenic even at maternally toxic doses. Mutagenicity has been
demonstrated in bacteria and mammalian cell cultures, but not in
experiments involving whole animals.
Reproductive Toxicology : Shown to be toxic to mammalian fetuses only at doses toxic to the
mother. In one study, sodium chlorite given in drinking water showed a
small but statistically significant increase in the percentage of abnormal
sperm; another study was negative.
Toxicological Synergism : Not available.

12. Ecological Information
Ecological Information: This product is toxic to aquatic life. Do not discharge into lakes, streams, ponds, sewers or other waters
unless in accordance with the permitting authority.
Biodegradability:
In soil, will degrade to sodium chloride but may form chlorine dioxide in contact with acidic soils. Chlorate
is an intermediate product of decomposition; it will slowly degrade to chloride.
Aquatic Toxicity:
In water, sodium chlorite will eventually degrade to sodium chloride.

13. Disposal Considerations
Disposal Considerations :Disposal of all wastes must be done in accordance with municipal, provincial and federal regulations.
