Then consult a physician as necessary, Ingestion: Give a large amount of drinking water, and immediately consult a physician. Action in case of fire Fire extinguishing method: Not applicable (noncombustible) Fire extinguishing agent: Not applicable (noncombustible) Other: In case of @ nearby fire, immediately move PAC powder or containers of its solution to a safe place where possible, Action in case of leakage Measures for environmental protection: In case of powder leakage (Powdery Poly Aluminum Chloride is very likely to dissolve upon exposure to atmosphericpr 16:25 NO.753 O13 moisture), immediately sweep and recover. Solutions should be covered with soil to avoid entry to rivers, paddy fields etc, In case of sigaificant leakage which may affect humans and aquatic Life, tmmediately so inform the authorities and supplier. Leachate (solution) treatment: Recover into empty containers. For unrecoverable leachate, neutralize with calcium hydroxide, calcium carbonate, soda ash ete. Handling and storage instructions Handling: Wear protective devices to avold contact exposure and inhalation. Storage: o For PAC powder, store in-polyethylene bags stacked in a low humidity, well ventilated location, For solutions, which are slightly corrosive to iron and stainless steel materials, store in acid-resistant containers of sufficient toughness, such as vinyl chloride, polyethylene or FRP and rubber-lined containers.03/37 16:25 ND.753 “O14 Precautions against exposure Managing concentratiot None Tolerance: Japan Association of Industrial Health (1990 edition): Not specified??

When heated to 100 to 15¢'C, PAC 10 oieass? 16:27 NO.753 4 DIS Oe? 16:26 NO.753 DIT. 1 oo powder emits hydrochloric gas. When adjusted to higher pH by dilution or alkali addition, solutions become turbid, then forming a precipitate. When evaporated to dryness under igniting conditions, solutions emit hydrochloric gas Other: a When mixed with sodium hypochlorite, Powdery Poly Aluminum Chloride emits toxic chlorine gas. Information on harmfulness (including human case reports and etiologic information) Skin corrosivity: None Irritativity (skin, eye): Slightly irritative to the skin and eyes Sensitizing property: None Acute toxicities ({ncluding LDs0 ete.)*> LDso in mice is 12,790 mg/kg 72 hours after oral administration and 1,920 mg/kg’ 72 hours after intraperitoneal administration.29/97 16127 NO.753 B18 Note: LDso (50% lethal dose) is defined as the dose per kg body weight of subject animal at which sample administration results in 50% mortality in 72 hours (for solution (10% Al20s solution)]. Information on environmental influence [for soluticn (10% AlaQe solution) ) Decomposab! lity: Upon hydrolysis, Powdery Poly Aluminum Chloride is converted to aluminum hydroxide and hydrochloric acid.
