Section 4. First Aid Measures
Eye Contact Check for and remove any contact lenses. In case of contact, immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for
at least 15 minutes. Cold water may be used. Get medical attention.
Skin Contact In case of contact, immediately flush skin with plenty of water. Cover the irritated skin with an emollient.
Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Cold water may be used.Wash clothing before reuse. Thoroughly
clean shoes before reuse. Get medical attention.
Serious Skin Contact Wash with a disinfectant soap and cover the contaminated skin with an anti-bacterial cream. Seek immediate
medical attention.
Inhalation If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen.
Get medical attention.
Serious Inhalation Evacuate the victim to a safe area as soon as possible. Loosen tight clothing such as a collar, tie, belt or
waistband. If breathing is difficult, administer oxygen. If the victim is not breathing, perform mouth-to-mouth
resuscitation. WARNING: It may be hazardous to the person providing aid to give mouth-to-mouth
resuscitation when the inhaled material is toxic, infectious or corrosive. Seek medical attention.
Ingestion Do NOT induce vomiting unless directed to do so by medical personnel. Never give anything by mouth to an
unconscious person. If large quantities of this material are swallowed, call a physician immediately. Loosen
tight clothing such as a collar, tie, belt or waistband.
Serious Ingestion Not available.

Fire Hazards cause fire.
A mixture of sulfur and barium chlorate ignites at about 108-111 C.
Contact with strong sulfuric acid can cause fires or explosions. When mixed with ammonium salts,
spontaneous decomposition and ignition may result.
Special Remarks on Explosion A combination of finely divided aluminum, arsenic, carbon, copper, metal sulfides, organic matter,
Hazards phosphorus, or sulfur with finely divided chlorates of barium can be exploded by heat, percussion, and
sometimes light friction.
Contact with strong sulfuric acid can cause fires or explosions.
Mixtures of finely divided combustible materials (such as certain dusty forms of floor sweepings/saw dust),
charcoal with chlorates can explode virtually spontaneously.
Chlorates can also present a dangerous explosion hazard when shocked, exposed to heat, or rubbed,
particularly when contaminated with As2S3, CaH2, Hg3P4, Manganese dioxide, NaH2PO2, PHI4, SCN,
ammonium compounds, cyanides, metals + acids, organic acids, phosphorus or antimony sulfide, selenium,
shellac, starch, sugar.

Section 6. Accidental Release Measures
Small Spill Use appropriate tools to put the spilled solid in a convenient waste disposal container.
Large Spill Oxidizing material. Organic peroxide.
Stop leak if without risk. Avoid contact with a combustible material (wood, paper, oil, clothing...). Keep
substance damp using water spray. Do not use metal tools or equipment. Do not touch spilled material. Use
for assistance on disposal. Be careful that the product is not present at a concentration level above TLV.
Check TLV on the MSDS and with local authorities.
Section 7. Handling and Storage
Precautions Keep away from heat. Keep away from sources of ignition. Keep away from combustible material.. Do not
ingest. Do not breathe dust. Wear suitable protective clothing. If ingested, seek medical advice immediately
and show the container or the label. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Keep away from incompatibles such
as reducing agents, combustible materials, organic materials, metals, acids.
Storage Keep container tightly closed. Keep container in a cool, well-ventilated area. Separate from acids, alkalies,
reducing agents and combustibles. See NFPA 43A, Code for the Storage of Liquid and Solid Oxidizers.
Section 8. Exposure Controls/Personal Protection
Engineering Controls Use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to keep airborne levels below
recommended exposure limits. If user operations generate dust, fume or mist, use ventilation to keep
exposure to airborne contaminants below the exposure limit.
Personal Protection Splash goggles. Lab coat. Dust respirator. Be sure to use an approved/certified respirator or equivalent.
Gloves.
Personal Protection in Case of Splash goggles. Full suit. Dust respirator. Boots. Gloves. A self contained breathing apparatus should be

acute or fatal cases the following may occur: pale complexion (pallor), hypotension (low blood pressure),
irregular heartbeat, hemolysis with methemoglobin formation which reduces the oxygen carrying capacity of
the blood resulting in cyanosis(a bluish discoloration of the skin, and lips), seizures, tremors, muscle
twitching, headache, fatigue, dizziness, trouble breathing, leukocytosis, thrombocytopenic disorder. In
chlorate poisoning, early death is usually due to anoxia. Renal failure and hyperkalemia may also occur.
Later death is generally due to renal failure.
