SECTION 4: First aid measures
Description of necessary first-aid measures
Fresh air, rest. Refer for medical attention.
First rinse with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, then remove contaminated clothes and rinse again.
First rinse with plenty of water for several minutes (remove contact lenses if easily possible), then refer for medical attention.
Induce vomiting (ONLY IN CONSCIOUS PERSONS!). See Notes. Refer for medical attention .
Most important symptoms/effects, acute and delayed
Inhalation or contact with eyes or skin causes irritation. Ingestion causes excessive salivation, vomiting, colic, diarrhea, convulsive tremors, slow, hard pulse, elevated blood pressure. 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. Nitrates, nitrites, and related compounds
SECTION 5: Firefighting measures
Suitable extinguishing media
In case of fire in the surroundings: water in large amounts. NO carbon dioxide.

Special protective actions for fire-fighters
In case of fire in the surroundings, use appropriate extinguishing media. NO carbon dioxide.
SECTION 6: Accidental release measures
Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures
Sweep spilled substance into covered containers. If appropriate, moisten first to prevent dusting. Then wash away 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.
Environmental precautions
Sweep spilled substance into covered containers. If appropriate, moisten first to prevent dusting. Then wash away 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
Spill Handling: Evacuate and restrict persons not wearing protective equipment from area of spill or leak until cleanup is complete. Remove all ignition sources. 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.
SECTION 7: Handling and storage
Precautions for safe handling
NO contact with flammables. 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
Separated from combustible substances, reducing agents, powdered metals and food and feedstuffs.Store in tightly closed containers in a cool, well-ventilated area. Avoid any possible contact with incompatible materials ...

SECTION 10: Stability and reactivity
Reactivity
50 mg/cu m Barium nitrate (as Ba)
Decomposes on heating. This produces nitrogen oxides. The substance is a strong oxidant. It reacts with combustible and reducing materials. Reacts with powdered metals. This generates fire and explosion hazard.
Chemical stability
no data available
Possibility of hazardous reactions
Not combustible but enhances combustion of other substances.Mixtures of metal nitrates with alkyl esters may explode, owing to the formation of alkyl nitrates. Mixtures of nitrates with phosphorus, tin(II) chloride, or other reducing agents may react explosively [Bretherick 1979 p. 108-109].
Conditions to avoid
no data available
Incompatible materials
A strong oxidizer ... Keep away from strong acids; reducing agents. Contact with organic and combustible materials (such as wood, paper, oil and fuels); and aluminum-magnesium alloys, since violent reactions occur. Contact with sulfur powder and finely divided metals can form a shock-sensitive compounds.
Hazardous decomposition products
The substance decomposes on heating producing nitrogen oxides.
