SECTION 3 - HAZARD IDENTIFICATION
Eye Contact: Can burn.
Skin Contact: Can be irritating to skin. May cause rash.
Ingestion: Both barium and sodium chlorate are toxic if ingested. Reported lethal doses of sodium chlorate are 2
grams for children and 15 - 30 grams for adults.
Inhalation: Dust from the chemical core and/or scrubber may cause irritation to the mucous membranes,
throat and nose.
SECTION 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES
Eye Contact: Flush eyes with a directed stream of water for at least 15 minutes. Forcibly hold eyelids apart to ensure
complete irrigation of all eye and lid tissue. Get medical attention if irritation occurs.
Skin Contact: Wash affected area with soap and water. Get medical attention if irritation occurs.
Inhalation: Avoid breathing excessive dust. Remove to fresh air at once.
Ingestion: Contact physician immediately.

SECTION 5 - FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Flash Point: not applicable Flash Point Method: not applicable
Flammable Limits: not applicable Autoignition Temperature:not applicable
Unusual Fire & Explosion Hazards:Oxidizers generate their own oxygen as they burn and therefore cannot be
extinguished by means other than water. Do not use CO2 or dry extinguishers as they
are ineffective and may create a worse situation.
Special Firefighting Procedures: Avoid bodily contact. Wear self contained breathing apparatus and wear appropriate
protective equipment. Keep material from exposure to high heat by using water to cool
containers.
SECTION 6 - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Steps To Be Taken In Case Material Is Released Or Spilled: Loose chemicals and components should be carefully placed into a
dry metal container.
SECTION 7 - HANDLING AND STORAGE
Storage Temperature & Pressure: Maintain at normal, ambient, temperature and pressure.
General: Do not store in wet or moist environments.
SECTION 8 - EXPOSURE CONTROL / PERSONAL PROTECTION
Personal Protection: Impervious gloves, air purifying respirator, safety glasses/goggles and protective clothing
should be worn if handling chemical core and dust from the chemical core or
scrubber.

SECTION 10 - STABILITY AND REACTIVITY
Conditions To Avoid: Avoid storing, mixing or contaminating with chemicals, mineral acids, and combustible materials.
Incompatibility: Oils, organic metals, and acids.
Hazardous Decomposition Products: Can include chlorine and chlorine dioxide.
Hazardous Polymerization: Will not occur.
Stability: Stable
SECTION 11 - TOXICOLOGICAL PROPERTIES
No data available.
SECTION 12 - ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION
No data available.
SECTION 13 - DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS
Generators must be spent prior to disposal. Due to barium within the generator it is considered a hazardous waste even after it is
spent. The spent unit must be disposed of in accordance with all Federal, State and local regulations.
The Oxygen device also contains Lithium Hydroxide which is a class 8- Corrosive (UN2680).
