MEDICAL CONDITIONS AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE
Asthna, bronchitis, empbysema and other lung diseases, and chronic nose, situs or throat conditions.
ACU rE TOXICI/Y Pr,mary route(s) of exposure: 1.2]Xlnhalalion [] Skin Absorption [] Ingestion
InlmLatJon: Major potential route of exposure. Chlorine is a respiratory irritant. Oancentratlot~
of 3-6 pFm can cause irritation of the nose and n~cous m~nbrane of the upper respiratory tract
followed by headarise ar~ coughing. 10 pFm can rm,se severe irritation of respiratory tract with 15-20
pFm causing intense cough. Other symptcms of overexposure can include nausea, vcmittng, dizziness,
shortness of breath and chest pain. I~,]mnary edm~ a~l chemical pnernonia can develop and may occur
hours after exposure. Prolonged exposures to concentrations above 25 pFn can cause unconsciousness and
death. One study which involved exposures to hrmrs to .5 pFm for 8 hotrrs ard 1 pFm for 4 hours caused
transient decreased pulnDnary capacity, as measured by p,]rrnnary function tests.
Skin: Liquid contact can cause local irritation ard burns. Chlorine vapors can cause irrita-
tion, burning and blisters.
Eyes: Liquid contact can cause irritation and burns. Vapor concentrations of 1 ppn can cause
realness, tearing and irritation of eyes.
Ingestion: Chlorine is gas at roGn tenperature. Ingested liquid chlorine can cause severe burns of
mouth, esophagus and sLunach and nausea, pain and ~:miting are likely to ocQ~r.
F,nST A~D
Inhalation: P~move from contaminated area ..... If .breathing .has .ceased, start. artificial respiration

Eyes: Inrredtately flush with ~ter at least 15 minutes. See a physician prr~ptly.
Ingestion: See a physician. Give -~f~]l m~unts of ~ter or ice.
Notes to Physician: No known antidote. Treatment for tnl~]atton is symptnnattc and supportive.
Keep patent at rest tmtli respiratory symptoms subside. Sedation for apprehension or restlessness
may be considered as well as diuretics and anttbtottcs to alleviate edema and protect against
secondary infection. /dnintster oxygen under exJ~]ation pressure not exceeding 4 cm water for

CHRONIC TOXICITY
Ntmercus studies have keen c~-,/~cted to det~m~ne tb~ potential chlorim has to canse c.h~onic
effects. In rats exposed to cor~entrations up to 9 plum for 6 hours a day, 5 days. a ~eek for 6
wed~s, decreases in body weight ard inf]~-~mtton of th~ repsiratory tract were observed. At
exposures of 3 ard 9 ppn, changes in the liver ard kidneys ~ere also noted. Rabbits m'd guinea
pigs exposed to 1.7 pp~ for 9 months showed weight loss ard a decreased resistance to disease.
No adverse effects were observed in rabbits ard guinea pigs at levels of .7 ppn. Chinea pigs
exposed to 1.6 ppn for 5 hours a day, for 47 days and injected with tuberculosis (kecterta)
displayed shorter life cycles, than those exposed to Just cx~e of t_be agents. Rats with
nary disease sbow~i an increased resporse to chlorine. MP. sus mori~ys exposed to concentrations up
to 2.3 pgn for 6 hztrs a day, 5 days a week for cane y~ar did not exhibit any signs of chronic toxicity.
A study of 600 diaphr~gm call workers exposed to .006 to 1.42 pgn, showed no statistically
significant increase in abnom~] chest x-rays, gOG's or p,l.nnary ftmction tests.
Carcinogerdcity One study bas been ccnddcted to evaluate chlorine' s ability to canse cancer in
expedsrental amima]S. Seven g~nerations of rats were exposed by ingestion to highly chlori-
hated water daily (100 rag/liter). No increased trddeme~ of h,mrs ~re observed.
Chlorine is not listed on the IARC, ~ or OSHA carcinogen lists.
Reproductive Toxicity Two studies have been corducted to assess the ability of chlorine to
cause reproductive effects. Rabbits exposed by inhalation to concentrations up to 1.5 pIm ard
rats exposed by ingestion to highly chlortnated drirktng water dally for seven generations did
not display any adverse reproductive effects.
VII - PERSONAL PROTECTION AND CONTROLS
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION M,t~ l{esplratory Frotection REquirements:
1-10 ppm: Half-mask respirator with acid g~s cartridge.
10-25 ppn: Full-face respirator with acid ~as canister.
25 ppn and greater: Pressure chnand self-contained breathing apperatns or pressure denton] air-line
respirator with escape provision. Follc~a any applicable respirator use stardards ard regulations.
NIOSlt/MBHA approved respirator should be used.
VENTILATION

Notice To Contractors, Users and Capital Controls
"' Installers Pressure Piping [~
Proper preparation of pressure piping prior to the
introduction of chlorine or sulfur dioxide is absolutely
critical to avoid contamination of the overall chlorine or
sulfur dioxide system. Once contaminated, rework of this
system is costly.
It is your responsibility as the installer to assure that the
piping is prepared properly, including cleaning and drying,
and that no contamination reaches the remainder of the
system (from the source to the feed point).
Authoritative guidance for preparation of pressure piping is given

The electronic dual platform scale for chlorine or sulfur dioxide cylinder shall consist of a dual platform weighing base, support
column and local weight indicator. Each platform shall have a gross weight capacity of (350 pounds) (158 kilograms), and a tare
weight capacity of (-180 pounds) (-80 kilograms). The scale shall be accurate to -+0.5% of the gross weight capacity. Resolution
shall be (1 pound) (0.1 kilogram). Accuracy shall be maintained when cylinders are placed off-center on the platform.
Platforms shall be low profile with rounded edges for easy-on/easy-off movement of cylinders. Built-in stops shall be provided to
prevent overload damage. The scale shall have separate 3 1/2 digit LED displays for each platform, readable from a distance of
up to (10 feet) (3 meters). Weight indication shall be field configurable for pounds or kilograms.
Weight indicator electronics shall be housed in a NEMA 4X (IP65) enclosure. Separate 4-20 mAdc output signals shall be pro-
vided for each platform. Scale shall operate from a (120 Vac) (240 Vac) 50/60 Hz, single phase power source.
Optional low weight alarms for each platform, field adjustable between 0 and 20 pounds, shall be supplied.
Optional remote weight indicators that operates from the 4-20 mAdc output signals without the need for a separate power
source, and enclosed in a NEMA 4X (IP65) enclosure shall be provided.

Brief Specification
The gas feeder design shall be of the vacuum operated, solution feed type. The gas feeder shall be constructed of materials
suitable for wet or dry gas service. All springs used in the vacuum regulator shall be of tantalum alloy (stainless steel for ammo-
nia). The rate valve and seat shall be solid silver (stainless steel for ammonia). A double-thickness diaphragm shall be provided
for vacuum regulation. The rate of gas feed shall be set manually and shall remain constant until manually changed. The gas
shall flow at sortie velocity and a differential pressure regulator shall not be required.
The system shall be convertible to automatic control by insertion of a motorized control valve in the vacuum line to receive a sig-
nal from the appropriate control equipment.
The vacuum regulator shall mount directly on the container valve by means of a corrosion resistant yoke assembly. A spring-op-
posed inlet valve shall close tight upon loss of vacuum. Each vacuum regulator shall be equipped with a loss-of-gas indicator,
and a gas flowmeter. A spring-loaded diaphragm actuated pressure relief valve integral to the vacuum regulator shall be pro-
vided to relieve gas pressure. The inlet capsule shall be a complete module, installed without the use of any tools.
The vacuum producing device shall be an ejector with a spring-loaded check valve to prevent flooding of the vacuum regulator
or a CHLOR-A-VAC chemical induction unit, Series 1420.
Automatic switchover shall be provided with automatic reset and integrally mounted vacuum regulator flow indicator.
Design improvements may be made without notice

Brief Specification
The gas feeder design shall be of the vacuum operated, solution feed type. The gas feeder shall be constructed of materials
suitable for wet or dry gas service. All springs used in the vacuum regulator shall be of tantalum alloy (stainless steel for ammo-
nia). The rate valve and seat shall be solid silver (stainless steel for ammonia). A double-thickness diaphragm shall be provided
for vacuum regulation. The rate of gas feed shall be set manually and shall remain constant until manually changed. The gas
shall flow at sonic velocity and a differential pressure regulator shall not be required.
The system shall be convertible to automatic control by insertion of a motorized control valve in the vacuum line to receive a sig-
nal from the appropriate control equipment.
The vacuum regulator shall mount direotly on the container valve by means of a corrosion resistant yoke assembly. A spring-op-
posed inlet valve shall close tight upon loss of vacuum. Each vacuum regulator shall be equipped with a loss-of-gas indicator,
and a gas flowmeter. A spring-loaded diaphragm actuated pressure relief valve integral to the vacuum regulator shall be pro-
vided to relieve gas pressure. The inlet capsule shall be a complete module, installed without the use of any tools.
The vacuum producing device shall be an ejector with a spring-loaded check valve to prevent flooding of the vacuum regulator
or a CHLOR-A-VAC chemical induotion unit, Series 1420.
. Automatic switchover shall be provided with automatic reset and integrally mounted vacuum regulator flow indicator.
Design improvements may be made without notice
