Wash clothing before reuse. Destroy contaminated shoes. If liquid chlorine or high concentrations of chlorine gas get into the eyes, flush eyes immediately with a directed stream of water for at least 15 minutes while forcibly holding eyelids apart to ensure complete irrigation of all eye and lid tissue. Do not attempt chemical neutralization of any kind. Contact lenses should not be worn when working with chlorine.
Chlorine is a respiratory irritant.
Persons with asthma, bronchitis, emphysema or other lung diseases, and chronic nose, sinus or throat conditions may be at increased risk from exposure. No known antidote. Treatment for inhalation is symptomatic and supportive. Keep patient at rest until respiratory symptoms subside. Sedation for apprehension or restlessness may be considered as well as diuretics and antibiotics to alleviate edema and protect against secondary infection.
