SECTION 4: First-aid measures
4.1 Description of necessary first-aid measures
If inhaled
Fresh air, rest. Artificial respiration may be needed. Refer for medical attention.
Following skin contact
First rinse with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, then remove contaminated clothes and rinse again. Refer for medical attention .
Following eye contact
First rinse with plenty of water for several minutes (remove contact lenses if easily possible), then refer for medical attention.
Following ingestion
Rinse mouth. Induce vomiting (ONLY IN CONSCIOUS PERSONS!). Rest. Refer for medical attention .
4.2 Most important symptoms/effects, acute and delayed
Inhalation causes irritation of upper respiratory system. Contact with eyes or skin causes irritation. Ingestion causes abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting, diarrhea, pallor, blueness shortness of breath, excessive salivation, convulsive tremors, slow, hard pulse, elevated blood pressure, unconsciousness. Hemorrhages may occur in the stomach, intestines, and kidneys. Muscular paralysis may follow. (USCG, 1999)
4.3 Indication of immediate medical attention and special treatment needed, if necessary
Immediate first aid: Ensure that adequate decontamination has been carried out. If patient is not breathing, start artificial respiration, preferably with a demand-valve resuscitator, bag-valve-mask device, or pocket mask, as trained. Perform CPR as necessary. Immediately flush contaminated eyes with gently flowing water. Do not induce vomiting. If vomiting occurs, lean patient forward or place on left side (head-down position, if possible) to maintain an open airway and prevent aspiration. Keep patient quiet and maintain normal body temperature. Obtain medical attention. Chlorates and Related Compounds
SECTION 5: Fire-fighting measures
5.1 Suitable extinguishing media
May explode when heated. Contact with combustible, organic, or other easily oxidizable materials, such as paper, oil, fuels, or sawdust can cause fires. Rubbings of these mixtures can cause explosions. Use water to extinguish the fire. ... If materials or contaminated runoff enters waterways, notify downstream users of potentially contaminated waters. Notify local health and fire officials and pollution control agencies. From a secure, explosion-proof location, use water spray to cool exposed containers. If cooling streams are ineffective (venting sound increases in volume and pitch, tank discolors, or shows any signs of deforming), withdraw immediately to a secure position.
5.2 Specific hazards arising from the chemical
Special Hazards of Combustion Products: Yields toxic fumes when involved in fire. Behavior in Fire: May cause an explosion when involved in a fire. (USCG, 1999)
5.3 Special protective actions for fire-fighters

SECTION 10: Stability and reactivity
10.1 Reactivity
Mixtures with organic compounds, reducing agents, ammonia-containing agents and metal powders are shock-sensitive. Decomposes violently on heating. This produces oxygen and toxic fumes. This generates fire and explosion hazard. The substance is a strong oxidant. It reacts with combustible and reducing materials.
10.2 Chemical stability
no data available
10.3 Possibility of hazardous reactions
Cloth, leather, wood and paper are extremely flammable when impregnated by ... chlorates /Chlorates/BARIUM CHLORATE is an oxidizing agent. Liberates explosive chlorine dioxide gas in the presence of a strong acid. Heating a moist metal chlorate and a 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, in finely divided form with finely divided aluminum can explode by heat, percussion, or friction [Mellor 2:310 1946-4].
