SECTION 3 COMPOSITION / INFORMATION ON INGREDIENTS Substances CAS No %[weight] Name 10022-31-8 >=97 barium nitrate Mixtures See section above for composition of Substances SECTION 4 FIRST AID MEASURES Description of first aid measures If this product comes in contact with the eyes: Wash out immediately with fresh running water. Eye Contact Ensure complete irrigation of the eye by keeping eyelids apart and away from eye and moving the eyelids by occasionally lifting the upper and lower lids. Seek medical attention without delay; if pain persists or recurs seek medical attention. Removal of contact lenses after an eye injury should only be undertaken by skilled personnel. If skin contact occurs: Immediately remove all contaminated clothing, including footwear. Skin Contact Flush skin and hair with running water (and soap if available). Seek medical attention in event of irritation. If fumes or combustion products are inhaled remove from contaminated area. Lay patient down. Keep warm and rested. Prostheses such as false teeth, which may block airway, should be removed, where possible, prior to initiating first aid procedures. Inhalation Apply artificial respiration if not breathing, preferably with a demand valve resuscitator, bag-valve mask device, or pocket mask as trained. Perform CPR if necessary. Transport to hospital, or doctor. IF SWALLOWED, REFER FOR MEDICAL ATTENTION, WHERE POSSIBLE, WITHOUT DELAY. For advice, contact a Poisons Information Centre or a doctor. Urgent hospital treatment is likely to be needed. In the mean time, qualified first-aid personnel should treat the patient following observation and employing supportive measures as indicated by the patient's condition. Ingestion If the services of a medical officer or medical doctor are readily available, the patient should be placed in his/her care and a copy of the SDS should be provided. Further action will be the responsibility of the medical specialist. If medical attention is not available on the worksite or surroundings send the patient to a hospital together with a copy of the SDS. Continued... Chemwatch: 1446 Page 3 of 10 Issue Date: 27/06/2017 Version No: 4.1.1.1 BARIUM NITRATE Print Date: 30/05/2019 Where medical attention is not immediately available or where the patient is more than 15 minutes from a hospital or unless instructed otherwise: INDUCE vomiting with fingers down the back of the throat, ONLY IF CONSCIOUS. Lean patient forward or place on left side (head-down position, if possible) to maintain open airway and prevent aspiration. NOTE: Wear a protective glove when inducing vomiting by mechanical means. Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed After ingestion of barium acid salts, severe gastro-intestinal irritation followed by muscle twitching, progressive flaccid paralysis and severe hypokalaemia and hypertension, occurs. Respiratory failure, renal failure and occasional cardiac dysrhythmias may result from an acute ingestion. Use sodium sulfate as a cathartic. Add 5-10 gm of sodium sulfate to lavage solution or as fluid supplement to Ipecac syrup (the sulfate salt is not absorbed) Monitor cardiac rhythm and serum potassium closely to establish the trend over the first 24 hours. Large doses of potassium may be needed to correct the hypokalaemia. Administer generous amounts of fluid replacement but monitor the urine and serum for evidence of renal failure. [Ellenhorn and Barceloux: Medical Toxicology] The toxicity of nitrates and nitrites result from their vasodilating properties and their propensity to form methaemoglobin. Most produce a peak effect within 30 minutes. Clinical signs of cyanosis appear before other symptoms because of the dark pigmentation of methaemoglobin. Initial attention should be directed towards improving oxygen delivery, with assisted ventilation, if necessary. Hyperbaric oxygen has not demonstrated conclusive benefits. Institute cardiac monitoring, especially in patients with coronary artery or pulmonary disease. Hypotension should respond to Trendelenburg's position and intravenous fluids; otherwise dopamine may be needed. Naloxone, glucose and thiamine should be given if a multiple ingestion is suspected. Decontaminate using Ipecac Syrup for alert patients or lavage for obtunded patients who present within 2-4 hours of ingestion. Symptomatic patients with methaemoglobin levels over 30% should receive methylene blue.(Cyanosis alone, is not an indication for treatment). The usual dose is 1-2 mg/kg of a 1% solution (10 mg/ml) IV over 5 minutes; repeat, using the same dose if symptoms of hypoxia fail to subside within 1 hour. [Ellenhorn and Barceloux: Medical Toxicology] BIOLOGICAL EXPOSURE INDEX - BEI These represent the determinants observed in specimens collected from a healthy worker who has been exposed at the Exposure Standard (ES or TLV): Determinant Index Sampling Time Comments 1. Methaemoglobin in blood 1.5% of haemoglobin During or end of shift B,NS,SQ B: Background levels occur in specimens collected from subjects NOT exposed NS: Non-specific determinant;also observed after exposure to other materials SQ: Semi-quantitative determinant - Interpretation may be ambiguous; should be used as a screening test or confirmatory test. SECTION 5 FIREFIGHTING MEASURES Extinguishing media FOR SMALL FIRE: USE FLOODING QUANTITIES OF WATER. DO NOT use dry chemical, CO2, foam or halogenated-type extinguishers. FOR LARGE FIRE Flood fire area with water from a protected position Special hazards arising from the substrate or mixture Avoid storage with reducing agents. Fire Incompatibility Avoid any contamination of this material as it is very reactive and any contamination is potentially hazardous Advice for firefighters Alert Fire Brigade and tell them location and nature of hazard. May be violently or explosively reactive. Wear full body protective clothing with breathing apparatus. Prevent, by any means available, spillage from entering drains or water courses. Fire Fighting Fight fire from a safe distance,
