Handling with Sodium Hypochorite

Sodium hypochlorite is an inorganic sodium salt wherein hypochlorite is the counterion. it has a role as a disinfectant and a bleaching agent. it incorporates a hypochlorite. sodium hypochlorite, generally called bleach, has wide uses and is also an extraordinary disinfectant/antimicrobial agent. An increased concentration of sodium hypochlorite may lead to the color fading effect. In general,  the active chlorine content in sodium hypochlorite has an optimum value to achieve the best color fading effect

Common Uses for Sodium Hypochlorite

Bleaching Agent 
Disinfectant
Water Treatment
Deodorizer
Source Of Available Chlorine 

Precautions For Safe Handling: 

Use the proper equipment for lifting and transporting all containers. Use sensible industrial hygiene and housekeeping practices. Wash thoroughly after handling. Avoid all situations that could lead to harmful exposure. Avoid contact with eyes and skin. 

Precautions For Safe Storage

Keep in a tightly closed container, stored in a cool, dry, ventilated area. Protect against physical damage. Isolate from incompatible substances. Containers of this material may be hazardous when empty since they retain product residues (vapors, liquid); observe all warnings and precautions listed for the product. Do not store near acids, heat, oxidizable materials or organics.

Potential Health Effects 

Inhalation:
Excessive inhalation of vapors, mists, or fumes may cause bronchial irritation, coughing, labored breathing, nausea, and pulmonary edema. Additional effects have included circulatory collapse and confusion, delirium, coma.

Ingestion:
May cause erosion of the mucous membranes. Symptoms include vomiting, circulatory collapse, confusion, coma, and death. May cause edema of pharynx, glottis, and larynx and perforation of the esophagus or stomach. The effects are less damaging at lower concentrations.

Skin Contact: 
Contact may cause severe irritation with blistering and eczema, especially at higher concentrations. Prolonged exposure may destroy the dermis with impairment of the skin. A burn may not be immediately apparent.

Eye Contact: 
Contact may cause impairment of vision and corneal damage, especially at higher concentrations. Severe irritation and burn can occur.

Chronic Exposure:
A constant irritant to the eyes and throat. May cause lung damage, tissue destruction, & eye burns. May act as a sensitizer.

Aggravation Of Pre-existing Conditions:
Persons with impaired respiratory function may be more susceptible to the effects of the substance.
