SECTION 4: First aid measures
Description of necessary first-aid measures
Fresh air, rest. Artificial respiration may be needed. Refer for medical attention.
First rinse with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, then remove contaminated clothes and rinse again. Refer for medical attention .
First rinse with plenty of water for several minutes (remove contact lenses if easily possible), then refer for medical attention.
Rinse mouth. Induce vomiting (ONLY IN CONSCIOUS PERSONS!). Rest. Refer for medical attention .
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)
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: Firefighting measures
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.
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)
Special protective actions for fire-fighters
In case of fire in the surroundings, use appropriate extinguishing media. In case of fire: keep drums, etc., cool by spraying with water. Combat fire from a sheltered position.
SECTION 6: Accidental release measures

Do NOT absorb in saw-dust or other combustible absorbents. Do NOT let this chemical enter the environment. Personal protection: particulate filter respirator adapted to the airborne concentration of the substance.
Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up
Evacuate and restrict persons not wearing protective equipment from area of spill or leak until cleanup is complete. Remove all ignition sources.Absorb liquids in vermiculite, dry sand, earth, or a similar non-organic materials and deposit in sealed containers. May also be covered with weak reducing agents; resulting sludge neutralized and flushed to sewer. Collect powdered material in the most convenient and safe manner and deposit in sealed containers. Ventilate area of spill or leak after clean-up is complete. It may be necessary to contain and dispose of this chemical as a hazardous waste. If material or contaminated runoff enters waterways, notify downstream users of potentially contaminated waters. Contact your Department of Environmental Protection or your regional office of the federal EPA for specific recommendations. If employees are required to clean-up spills, they must be properly trained and equipped.

SECTION 9: Physical and chemical properties and safety characteristics
-
Physical state：
Barium chlorate is a white crystalline solid. Forms very flammable mixtures with combustible materials. Mixtures may be ignited by friction and may be explosive if the combustible material is finely divided. Contact with concentrated sulfuric acid solutions may cause fires or explosions. May spontaneously decompose and ignite when mixed with ammonium salt. May explode under prolonged exposure to heat or fire. Used in explosives and pyrotechnics, in dyeing textiles, and to make other chlorates.

SECTION 10: Stability and reactivity
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.
Chemical stability
no data available
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].
Conditions to avoid
