Oxidizing Agents, Strong

Explosive

ZINC CHLORATE is an oxidizing agent. Forms flammable mixtures with combustible materials; these mixtures may be explosive if the combustible material is finely divided. Contact with concentrated sulfuric acid can cause fires or explosions. Heating with a moist dibasic organic acid liberates chlorine dioxide and carbon dioxide [Bretherick 1979. p. 100] mixtures with ammonium salts, powdered metals, silicon, sulfur, or sulfides are readily ignited and potentially explosive [Bretherick 1979. p. 806]. A combination with finely divided aluminum can explode by heat, percussion, or friction [Mellor 2:310 1946-47]. A mixture with charcoal (or other finely divided organic material) may ignite or explode. Ignition or explosion may also be caused by friction or shock [U.S. Army Ordnance Safety Manual 1951].

Excerpt from ERG Guide 140 [Oxidizers]: These substances will accelerate burning when involved in a fire. Some may decompose explosively when heated or involved in a fire. May explode from heat or contamination. Some will react explosively with hydrocarbons (fuels). May ignite combustibles (wood, paper, oil, clothing, etc.). Containers may explode when heated. Runoff may create fire or explosion hazard. (ERG, 2016)

Excerpt from ERG Guide 140 [Oxidizers]: As an immediate precautionary measure, isolate spill or leak area in all directions for at least 50 meters (150 feet) for liquids and at least 25 meters (75 feet) for solids. LARGE SPILL: Consider initial downwind evacuation for at least 100 meters (330 feet). FIRE: If tank, rail car or tank truck is involved in a fire, ISOLATE for 800 meters (1/2 mile) in all directions; also, consider initial evacuation for 800 meters (1/2 mile) in all directions. (ERG, 2016)

Excerpt from ERG Guide 140 [Oxidizers]: Keep combustibles (wood, paper, oil, etc.) away from spilled material. Do not touch damaged containers or spilled material unless wearing appropriate protective clothing. Stop leak if you can do it without risk. Do not get water inside containers. SMALL DRY SPILL: With clean shovel, place material into clean, dry container and cover loosely; move containers from spill area. SMALL LIQUID SPILL: Use a non-combustible material like vermiculite or sand to soak up the product and place into a container for later disposal. LARGE SPILL: Dike far ahead of liquid spill for later disposal. Following product recovery, flush area with water. (ERG, 2016)

Drug Information

... CHLORATES ARE ... ABSORBED BY INGESTION OR BY INHALATION OF DUST. /CHLORATES/|Upon intravenous injection zinc is distributed to erythrocytes, plasma, and leukocytes; about 80% of the zinc present in the blood is found in the erythrocytes, 12-20% in the plasma, and about 3% in the leukocytes. ... There is a dynamic exchange of zinc between plasma and erythrocytes. Inhalation of dusts of zinc salts results in a transient accumulation in the lung before its absorption into the blood. There is little absorption of zinc or its salts through the skin. ... About 80% of parenterally administered zinc is excreted in the feces, suggesting an enterohepatic circulation for zinc. In humans, about 10% of the absorbed zinc is excreted in the urine, and in tropical climates about 2-3 mg zinc/day may be lost in sweat. /Soluble zinc compounds/

Contaminated clothing may be a fire risk when dry. In case of contact with substance, immediately flush skin or eyes with running water for at least 20 minutes. Keep victim calm and warm. (ERG, 2016)

When normal stimulated cultured human lymphocytes were pretreated with various soluble zinc salts, there was an increase in the numbers of cells with chromosomal fragmentation, diploidy, dicentrism, and chromatid gaps and breaks. A later study using a similar treatment regimen indicated that zinc induced a dose-dependent decrease in lymphocytic mitotic indices. /Soluble zinc salts/
