DESCRIPTION Sodium hypochlorite is a chemical commonly
found in bleach, water purifiers, and cleaning products
Bleach is a chemical that removes colors or whitens, often via oxidation
SYMPTOMS OF POISONING Airways and lungs
Coughing (from the fumes) Eyes, ears, nose, mouth,
and throat Burning, red eyes Gagging sensation Pain in the mouth Pain in the throat Possible burns on
esophagus Heart and blood vessels
Chest pain Low blood pressure Slow heartbeat Shock
Nervous system Delirium Coma
Skin Irritation of the
exposed area Burns Blistering
Stomach and intestines Stomach or
abdominal pain Vomiting
CURE For swallowed poison:
A tube thru the nose into the stomach to empty the stomach
Endoscopy Fluids by IV Medicine to reverse the effect of the poison
For inhaled poison, treatment may include: Breathing tube Bronchoscopy Oxygen
For skin exposure, treatment may include: Irrigation, perhaps every few hours for several days Surgical removal of burned skin Transfer to a hospital that specializes in burn care
DANGERS OF BLEACH NEVER combine sodium hypochlorite with
ammonia or use at the same time A toxic gas, a pure form of Chlorine, is
produced and can cause chocking and serious breathing problems; some potentially explosive compounds are also made
Swallowing, smelling, or touching household bleach will likely not cause any significant problems
PURE BLEACH Destroys tissue and causes red blood cells to
burst Can release a toxic overload of potassium
that can cause a heart attack If injected into blood, it can be fatal
OTHER USES FOR BLEACH Weed Killer Pregnancy Test Cleaner Disinfectant Water Purifier Household Cleaner
