SECTION 4: First aid measures

Description of necessary first-aid measures

If inhaled

Move the victim into fresh air. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. If not breathing, give artificial respiration and consult a doctor immediately. Do not use mouth to mouth resuscitation if the victim ingested or inhaled the chemical.

Following skin contact

Take off contaminated clothing immediately. Wash off with soap and plenty of water. Consult a doctor.

Following eye contact

Rinse with pure water for at least 15 minutes. Consult a doctor.

Following ingestion

Rinse mouth with water. Do not induce vomiting. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Call a doctor or Poison Control Center immediately.

Most important symptoms/effects, acute and delayed

Inhalation of dust causes irritation of upper respiratory system. Dust irritates eyes and skin. Ingestion causes abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, pallor, shortness of breath, unconsciousness. (USCG, 1999)

Indication of immediate medical attention and special treatment needed, if necessary

Emergency and supportive treatment: Maintain on open airway and assist ventilation if necessary. Treat coma, hemolysis, hyperkalemia, and renal or hepatic failure if they occur. Massive hemolysis may require blood transfusions. To prevent renal failure resulting from deposition of free hemoglobin in the kidney tubules, administer intravenous fluids and sodium bicarbonate. Chlorates

SECTION 5: Firefighting measures

Suitable extinguishing media

This chemical is a noncombustible solid that increases the combustion of other substances. Use dry chemical, carbon dioxide, water spray, or alcohol foam entinguishers. ... If material or contaminated runoff enters waterways, notify downstream users of potentially contaminated waters. Notify local health and fire officials and pollution control agencies. Containers may explode in fire. 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 immediantly to a secure position.

Specific hazards arising from the chemical

Behavior in Fire: When involved in a fire, may cause an explosion. Irritating gases may be generated when heated. (USCG, 1999)

Special protective actions for fire-fighters

Wear self-contained breathing apparatus for firefighting if necessary.

SECTION 6: Accidental release measures

Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures

Avoid dust formation. Avoid breathing mist, gas or vapours.Avoid contacting with skin and eye. Use personal protective equipment.Wear chemical impermeable gloves. Ensure adequate ventilation.Remove all sources of ignition. Evacuate personnel to safe areas.Keep people away from and upwind of spill/leak.

Environmental precautions

Prevent further spillage or leakage if it is safe to do so. Do not let the chemical enter drains. Discharge into the environment must be avoided.

Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up

For dry material: evacuate persons not wearing protective equipment from area of spill or leak until clean-up is complete. Remove all ignition sources. Collect powdered material in the most convenient and safe manner and deposit in sealed containers. Ventilate area after clean-up is complete. It may be necessary to contain and dispose of this chemical as a hazardous waste. If material or contamicated runoff enters waterways, notify downstream users of potentially contaiminated waterways. For solution: evacuate and restrict persons not wearing protective equipment from area of spill or leak until clean-up is complete. Remove all ignition sources. Ventilate area of spill or leak. Absorb liquids in vermiculite, dry sand, earth, peat, carbon, or a similar material and deposit in sealed conatiners. It may be necessary to contain and dispose of this chemical as a hazardous waste. If material or containminated runoff enters waterways, notify doenstream users of potentially contaminated waters. Contact your Department of Environmental Protection or your regional office of EPA for specific recommendations. If employees are required to clean up sills, they must be property trained.

SECTION 7: Handling and storage

Precautions for safe handling

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

Store in tightly closed containers in a cool, well-ventilated area away from strong acids (such as hydrochloric, sulfuric, and nitirc), chemically active metals (such as potassium, sodium, magnesium, and zinc). Calcium chlorate must be stored to avoid contact with organic matter, ammonium compounds, aluminum, copper, cyanides, flammable vapors and other oxidizable materials since violent reactions occur. Avoid storage on any wooden floors. Friction, heat or physical shocks may cause calsium chlorate to ignite and explode. Wherever calcium chlorate is used, handled, manufactured, or stored, use explosion-proof electrical equipment and fittings.

SECTION 9: Physical and chemical properties and safety characteristics

  • Physical state:

    Calcium chlorate is a white crystalline solid. It forms a very flammable mixture with combustible materials and this mixture may be explosive if the combustible material is finely divided. The mixture can be ignited by friction. Contact with strong sulfuric acid can cause fires or explosions. When mixed with ammonium salts, spontaneous decomposition and ignition may result. Prolonged exposure of the material to fire or heat can result in an explosion. It is used in photography, in pyrotechnics, and as a herbicide.

Possibility of hazardous reactions

Forms explosive mixtures with combustible, org or other easily oxidizable materials. /Calcium chlorate dihydrate/An oxidizing agent. Liberates explosive chlorine dioxide gas in the presence of strong acid. Heating a moist mixture with a dibasic organic acid liberates chlorine dioxide and carbon dioxide. Mixtures with ammonium salts, powdered metals, silicon, sulfur, or sulfides are readily ignited and potentially explosive [Bretherick 1979 p. 806]. A combination with finely divided aluminum can explode by heat, percussion, or friction [Mellor 2:310 1946-47].
