Most important symptoms/effects, acute and delayed
Excerpt from ERG Guide 140 [Oxidizers]: Inhalation, ingestion or contact (skin, eyes) with vapors or substance may cause severe injury, burns or death. Fire may produce irritating, corrosive and/or toxic gases. Runoff from fire control or dilution water may cause pollution. (ERG, 2016)
Indication of immediate medical attention and special treatment needed, if necessary
no data available
SECTION 5: Firefighting measures
Suitable extinguishing media
Excerpt from ERG Guide 140 [Oxidizers]: SMALL FIRE: Use water. Do not use dry chemicals or foams. CO2 or Halon? may provide limited control. LARGE FIRE: Flood fire area with water from a distance. Do not move cargo or vehicle if cargo has been exposed to heat. Move containers from fire area if you can do it without risk. FIRE INVOLVING TANKS OR CAR/TRAILER LOADS: Fight fire from maximum distance or use unmanned hose holders or monitor nozzles. Cool containers with flooding quantities of water until well after fire is out. ALWAYS stay away from tanks engulfed in fire. For massive fire, use unmanned hose holders or monitor nozzles; if this is impossible, withdraw from area and let fire burn. (ERG, 2016)
Specific hazards arising from the chemical
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)
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.
SECTION 6: Accidental release measures
Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures
Personal protection: particulate filter respirator adapted to the airborne concentration of the substance. Do NOT let this chemical enter the environment. Do NOT absorb in saw-dust or other combustible absorbents. Sweep spilled substance into covered containers. If appropriate, moisten first to prevent dusting. Cautiously neutralize remainder. Wash away remainder with plenty of water.
Environmental precautions
Do NOT absorb in saw-dust or other combustible absorbents. Sweep spilled substance into covered containers. If appropriate, moisten first to prevent dusting. Cautiously neutralize remainder. Wash away remainder with plenty of water. 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
Cover with reducing agents such as hypo, bisulfites or ferrous salts. Bisulfites or ferrous salts need additional promoter of some 3M sulfuric acid to accelerate reaction. Transfer the slurry (or sludge) into a large container of water and neutralize with soda ash. Drain into a sewer with abundant water.
SECTION 7: Handling and storage
Precautions for safe handling
NO contact with combustible substances. Handling in a well ventilated place. Wear suitable protective clothing. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Avoid formation of dust and aerosols. Use non-sparking tools. Prevent fire caused by electrostatic discharge steam.
Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities
Cool. Dry. Well closed. Separated from combustible substances, reducing agents and strong bases.Keep containers closed and store in cool dark places.

SECTION 10: Stability and reactivity
Reactivity
Heating may cause violent combustion or explosion. Decomposes on heating. This produces toxic fumes including sulfur oxides. The substance is a strong oxidant. It reacts with combustible and reducing materials. The solution in water is a medium strong acid. Reacts violently with chlorates and perchlorates. This generates explosion hazard. Reacts in the presence of water with metals such as aluminium. This generates fire hazard.
Chemical stability
Gradually decomp losing avail oxygen, more quickly at higher temp, completely at about 100 deg c
Possibility of hazardous reactions
POTASSIUM PERSULFATE PLUS A LITTLE POTASSIUM HYDROXIDE & WATER IGNITED POLYTHENE (POLYETHYLENE) LINER OF CONTAINER BY SIMULTANEOUS RELEASE OF HEAT & OXYGEN.POTASSIUM PERSULFATE is an oxidizing agent. Noncombustible but accelerates the burning of combustible material. Potassium persulfate plus a little potassium hydroxide and water released sufficient heat and oxygen to ignite a polythene (polyethylene) liner in a container. [MCA Case History 1155. 1955].
Conditions to avoid
no data available
Incompatible materials
Potassium persulfate plus a little potassium hydroxide & water ignited polythene (polyethylene) liner of container by simultaneous release of heat & oxygen.
Hazardous decomposition products
Dangerous when heated to decomp, emits highly toxic fumes of /sulfur oxides/.

Other Information
Rinse contaminated clothing with plenty of water because of fire hazard.The symptoms of asthma often do not become manifest until a few hours have passed and they are aggravated by physical effort.Rest and medical observation are therefore essential.Anyone who has shown symptoms of asthma due to this substance should avoid all further contact with this substance.Do NOT take working clothes home.
