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
Inhalation procedures.
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, without delay.

If swallowed do NOT induce vomiting.

If vomiting occurs, lean patient forward or place on left side (head-down position, if possible) to maintain open airway
and prevent aspiration.
Ingestion Observe the patient carefully.
Never give liquid to a person showing signs of being sleepy or with reduced awareness; i.e. becoming unconscious.
Give water to rinse out mouth, then provide liquid slowly and as much as casualty can comfortably drink.
Seek medical advice.

Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed

Magnesium is present in the blood, as a normal constituent, at concentrations between 1.6 to 2.2 meq/L. Some 30% is plasma bound. At serum
magnesium levels of 3-4 meq/L, signs of CNS depression, loss of reflexes, muscular tone and power, and bradycardia occur. Cardiac arrest (sometimes
fatal) and/or respiratory paralysis can occur at plasma levels of 10-15 meq/L. For acute or short term repeated exposures to magnesium:
Symptomatic hypermagnesaemia appears rarely in the absence of intestinal or renal disease.
Elevated magnesium levels may cause hypocalcaemia because of decreased parathyroid hormone activity and decreased end-organ responsiveness.
Patients with severe hypermagnesemia may develop sudden respiratory arrest and must be watched closely for apnoea.
Use fluids, then vasopressors for hypotension. Frequently hypotension responds to calcium administration.
Induce emesis or administer lavage if patient presents within 4 hours of ingestion. Use sodium cathartics, with caution, in presence of cardiac or renal
failure.
Activated charcoal is not useful.
Calcium is an antagonist of magnesium action and is an effective antidote when serum levels exceed 5 meq/L and the patient exhibits symptoms. The
adult dose of calcium gluconate is 10 ml of a 10% solution over several minutes. [Ellenhorn and Barceloux: Medical Toxicology]

Antithyroid effects produced by the perchlorates may be reversed with iodine. Patients should be warned to report the development of sore throat, fever
or rashes since these are indicative of blood abnormalities.
For chlorates:

For severe intoxication: Empty the stomach by lavage and aspiration or by emesis, give demulcents or sweetened drinks and maintain respiration.
Pethidine may be given if required. A 1% solution of sodium thiosulfate may be used for lavage and may also be given by intravenous infusion.
Haemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis or exchange perfusions may be of value in removing chlorate from the blood. Forced diuresis should not be attempted
if there is inadequate urine input.

MARTINDALE: The Extra Pharmacopoeia, 27th Edition

The high sensitivity of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase to denaturation by chlorate explains the inefficacy of methylene blue to reduce
methaemoglobin formed, as the antidotal effect of methylene blue depends on NADPH formed mainly by the oxidation of glucose-6-phosphate. The
observed changes occur only in the presence of methaemoglobin which forms a destabilising complex with chlorate. Methaemoglobin thus
autocatalytically increases methaemoglobin formation and destruction of the erythrocyte.

SECTION 7 HANDLING AND STORAGE

Precautions for safe handling

For oxidisers, including peroxides.
Avoid personal contact and inhalation of dust, mist or vapours.
Provide adequate ventilation.
Always wear protective equipment and wash off any spillage from clothing.
Keep material away from light, heat, flammables or combustibles.
Keep cool, dry and away from incompatible materials.
Avoid physical damage to containers.
DO NOT repack or return unused portions to original containers. Withdraw only sufficient amounts for immediate use.
Use only minimum quantity required.
Avoid using solutions of peroxides in volatile solvents. Solvent evaporation should be controlled to avoid dangerous
concentration of the peroxide.
Do NOT allow peroxides to contact iron or compounds of iron, cobalt, or copper, metal oxide salts, acids or bases.
Do NOT use metal spatulas to handle peroxides
Do NOT use glass containers with screw cap lids or glass stoppers.
Store peroxides at the lowest possible temperature, consistent with their solubility and freezing point.
CAUTION: Do NOT store liquids or solutions of peroxides at a temperature below that at which the peroxide freezes or
precipitates. Peroxides in this form are extremely shock and heat-sensitive. Refrigerated storage of peroxides must
ONLY be in explosion-proof units.
The hazards and consequences of fires and explosions during synthesis and use of peroxides is widely recognised;
spontaneous or induced decomposition may culminate in a variety of ways, ranging from moderate gassing to
spontaneous ignition or explosion. The heat released from spontaneous decomposition of an energy-rich compound
Safe handling
causes a rise in the surrounding temperature; the temperature will rise until thermal balance is established or until the
material heats to decomposition,
The most effective means for minimising the consequences of an accident is to limit quantities to a practical minimum.
Even gram-scale explosions can be serious. Once ignited the burning of peroxides cannot be controlled and the area
should be evacuated.
Unless there is compelling reason to do otherwise, peroxide concentration should be limited to 10% (or less with vigorous
reactants). Peroxide concentration is rarely as high as 1% in the reaction mixture of polymerisation or other free-radical
reactions,
Peroxides should be added slowly and cautiously to the reaction medium. This should be completed prior to heating and
with good agitation.
Addition of peroxide to the hot monomer is extremely dangerous. A violent reaction (e.g., fire or explosion) can result
from inadvertent mixing of promoters (frequently used with peroxides in polymerisation systems) with full-strength
peroxide
Organic peroxides are very sensitive to contamination (especially heavy-metal compounds, metal oxide salts, alkaline
materials including amines, strong acids, and many varieties of dust and dirt). This can initiate rapid, uncontrolled
decomposition of peroxides and possible generation of intense heat, fire or explosion The consequences of accidental
contamination from returning withdrawn material to the storage container can be disastrous.
When handling NEVER smoke, eat or drink.
Always wash hands with soap and water after handling.
Use only good occupational work practice.
Observe manufacturer's storage and handling recommendations contained within this SDS.
Store in original containers.
Keep containers securely sealed as supplied.
Store in a cool, well ventilated area.
Keep dry.
Store under cover and away from sunlight.
Store away from flammable or combustible materials, debris and waste. Contact may cause fire or violent reaction.
Store away from incompatible materials and foodstuff containers.
DO NOT stack on wooden floors or pallets.
Protect containers from physical damage.
Check regularly for leaks.
Other information Observe manufacturer's storage and handling recommendations contained within this SDS.
In addition, Goods of Class 5.1, packing group II should be:
stored in piles so that
the height of the pile does not exceed 1 metre
the maximum quantity in a pile or building does not exceed 1000 tonnes unless the area is provided with automatic fire
extinguishers
the maximum height of a pile does not exceed 3 metres where the room is provided with automatic fire extinguishers or
2 meters if not.
the minimum distance between piles is not less than 2 metres where the room is provided with automatic fire
extinguishers or 3 meters if not.
the minimum distance to walls is not less than 1 metre.

Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities

Glass container is suitable for laboratory quantities
DO NOT repack. Use containers supplied by manufacturer only.
For low viscosity materials
Drums and jerricans must be of the non-removable head type.
Where a can is to be used as an inner package, the can must have a screwed enclosure.
For materials with a viscosity of at least 2680 cSt. (23 deg. C) and solids:
Removable head packaging and
cans with friction closures may be used.
Suitable container -
Where combination packages are used, and the inner packages are of glass, there must be sufficient inert cushioning
material in contact with inner and outer packages *.
-
In addition, where inner packagings are glass and contain liquids of packing group I and II there must be sufficient inert
absorbent to absorb any spillage *.
-
* unless the outer packaging is a close fitting moulded plastic box and the substances are not incompatible with the
plastic.
Derivative of very electropositive metal.
Inorganic alkaline earth metal derivative.
Inorganic peroxy compounds are potent oxidisers that pose fire or explosive hazards when in contact with ordinary
combustible materials.
Inorganic peroxides react with organic compounds to generate organic peroxide and hydroperoxide products that react
violently with reducing agents.
Inorganic oxidising agents can react with reducing agents to generate heat and products that may be gaseous (causing
pressurization of closed containers). The products may themselves be capable of further reactions (such as combustion
in the air).
Organic compounds in general have some reducing power and can in principle react with compounds in this class. Actual
reactivity varies greatly with the identity of the organic compound.
Inorganic oxidising agents can react violently with active metals, cyanides, esters, and thiocyanates.
Peroxides, in contact with inorganic cobalt and copper compounds, iron and iron compounds, acetone, metal oxide salts
and acids and bases can react with rapid, uncontrolled decomposition, leading to fires and explosions.
Inorganic reducing agents react with oxidizing agents to generate heat and products that may be flammable,
combustible, or otherwise reactive. Their reactions with oxidizing agents may be violent.
Incidents involving interaction of active oxidants and reducing agents, either by design or accident, are usually very
energetic and examples of so-called redox reactions.
Metals and their oxides or salts may react violently with chlorine trifluoride and bromine trifluoride.
These trifluorides are hypergolic oxidisers. They ignite on contact (without external source of heat or ignition) with
recognised fuels - contact with these materials, following an ambient or slightly elevated temperature, is often violent
and may produce ignition.
The state of subdivision may affect the results.
NOTE: May contain traces of perchloric acid or may, on contact with acids, produce an anhydrous perchloric acid an
extremely reactive and explosive species. Many of the reported explosions involving perchlorate may result its ability to
Storage incompatibility
form unstable perchlorate esters or salts of the anhydrous acid.

WARNING:
On the basis of experience with cobalt(III) perchlorate, attention is drawn to the possibility of stable metal perchlorates
being converted by unintentional dehydration to unstable (endothermic) lower hydrates capable of explosive
decomposition in the absence of impurities. Great care must be taken to avoid dehydration or desolvation of
perchlorates.
Metal perchlorates may be explosively reactive with finely divided aluminium, magnesium and zinc and other metals,
calcium and strontium hydrides, glycol (on heating), sulfuric acid (with the formation of unstable perchloric acid), and
trifluoromethanesulfonic acid.
The perchlorate salts of the complexes of divalent cobalt, nickel and particularly iron ([tetramethyl[14]-N8 complexes)
are potentially explosive and storage for more than 4 weeks is inadvisable
Avoid any contamination of this material as it is very reactive and any contamination is potentially hazardous
Segregate from alcohol, water.
Segregate chlorates from organic matter, acids, poisonous gases, flammables, corrosives, aluminium and ammonium
salts and any other combustible material.
Mixtures of chlorates with fibrous and absorbent organic materials such as wood, paper, leather, flour, sawdust, sugar,
shellac, may be ignited or caused to explode by static sparks, friction or shock.
The extreme hazardous nature of mixtures of metal chlorates with phosphorus or sulfur, apart from being powerful
explosives, are dangerously sensitive to friction or shock; spontaneous ignition occasionally occurs.
Mixtures with sucrose, lactose, chromium, sulfur dioxide, sodium amide, zirconium, germanium and titanium explode on
heating.
Forms incompatible sometimes explosive mixtures with thorium dicarbide, strontium hydride, hydrogen iodide, fluorine,
cyanoguanidine, cyanides, dinickel trioxide, powdered carbon, aqua regia and ruthenium, nitric acid, manganese dioxide

and potassium hydroxide or boron.

Chlorates should not be allowed to come into contact with ammonium salts, aluminium and other powdered metals,
phosphorous, silicon, sulfur, sulfides, sulfuric acid, nitrobenzene, iodides and tartaric acid
Mixtures with hydrocarbons, metal phosphides (Zn, Ag, Al, Cu, Hg, Mg, etc), metal thiocyanates, metal sulfides,
arsenic, carbon, phosphorous, sulfur, ammonium salts, powdered metals, arsenic trioxide, phosphorous, silicon, sulfur,
sulfides, sulfites and hyposulfites are easily ignited (by friction impact or heat) and are potentially explosive.
Metal chlorates in contact with strong acids liberate explosive chlorine dioxide gas. With concentrated sulfuric acid a
violent explosion can occur unless effective cooling is used. Mixing potassium chlorate and concentrated sulfuric acid
results in an explosion with optimum temperature range being 120-130. Heating a moist mixture of metal chlorate and a
dibasic organic acid (tartaric or citric acid) liberates chlorine dioxide diluted with carbon dioxide.
Fusion of chlorates with metal cyanides may lead to an explosion.
Chlorates containing 1-2% bromate or sulfur are liable to spontaneous explosion.
Chlorates releases oxygen, chlorine and chlorine dioxide when heated above 300 deg. C..
In presence of moisture may release oxygen and ozone
Intimate mixtures of chlorates, bromates or iodates of barium, cadmium, calcium, magnesium, potassium, sodium or
zinc, with finely divided aluminium, arsenic, copper, carbon, phosphorus, sulfur, hydrides of alkali- and alkaline earth-
metals; sulfides of antimony, arsenic, copper or tin; metal cyanides, thiocyanates; or impure manganese dioxide may
react explosively or violently, either spontaneously (especially in the presence of moisture) or on initiation by heat,
impact or friction, sparks or addition of sulfuric acid.

Exposure controls
Engineering controls are used to remove a hazard or place a barrier between the worker and the hazard. Well-designed
engineering controls can be highly effective in protecting workers and will typically be independent of worker interactions
to provide this high level of protection.
The basic types of engineering controls are:
Process controls which involve changing the way a job activity or process is done to reduce the risk.
Enclosure and/or isolation of emission source which keeps a selected hazard "physically" away from the worker and
ventilation that strategically "adds" and "removes" air in the work environment. Ventilation can remove or dilute an air
contaminant if designed properly. The design of a ventilation system must match the particular process and chemical or
contaminant in use.
Employers may need to use multiple types of controls to prevent employee overexposure.

Local exhaust ventilation usually required. If risk of overexposure exists, wear approved respirator. Correct fit is essential
to obtain adequate protection. Supplied-air type respirator may be required in special circumstances. Correct fit is
Appropriate engineering essential to ensure adequate protection.
controls An approved self contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) may be required in some situations.
Provide adequate ventilation in warehouse or closed storage area. Air contaminants generated in the workplace possess
varying "escape" velocities which, in turn, determine the "capture velocities" of fresh circulating air required to effectively
remove the contaminant.

direct spray, spray painting in shallow booths, drum filling, conveyer loading, crusher dusts, gas 1-2.5 m/s
discharge (active generation into zone of rapid air motion) (200-500 f/min.)

grinding, abrasive blasting, tumbling, high speed wheel generated dusts (released at high initial 2.5-10 m/s
velocity into zone of very high rapid air motion). (500-2000 f/min.)

Within each range the appropriate value depends on:

Lower end of the range Upper end of the range

1: Room air currents minimal or favourable to capture 1: Disturbing room air currents

2: Contaminants of low toxicity or of nuisance value only. 2: Contaminants of high toxicity

3: Intermittent, low production. 3: High production, heavy use
4: Large hood or large air mass in motion 4: Small hood-local control only

Simple theory shows that air velocity falls rapidly with distance away from the opening of a simple extraction pipe.
Velocity generally decreases with the square of distance from the extraction point (in simple cases). Therefore the air
speed at the extraction point should be adjusted, accordingly, after reference to distance from the contaminating source.
The air velocity at the extraction fan, for example, should be a minimum of 1-2 m/s (200-400 f/min) for extraction of
solvents generated in a tank 2 meters distant from the extraction point. Other mechanical considerations, producing
performance deficits within the extraction apparatus, make it essential that theoretical air velocities are multiplied by
factors of 10 or more when extraction systems are installed or used.

Personal protection

Chemical goggles.
Full face shield may be required for supplementary but never for primary protection of eyes.
Contact lenses may pose a special hazard; soft contact lenses may absorb and concentrate irritants. A written policy
document, describing the wearing of lenses or restrictions on use, should be created for each workplace or task. This
should include a review of lens absorption and adsorption for the class of chemicals in use and an account of injury
Eye and face protection
experience. Medical and first-aid personnel should be trained in their removal and suitable equipment should be readily
available. In the event of chemical exposure, begin eye irrigation immediately and remove contact lens as soon as
practicable. Lens should be removed at the first signs of eye redness or irritation - lens should be removed in a clean
environment only after workers have washed hands thoroughly. [CDC NIOSH Current Intelligence Bulletin 59], [AS/NZS
1336 or national equivalent]

Skin protection See Hand protection below

Wear chemical protective gloves, e.g. PVC.
Wear safety footwear or safety gumboots, e.g. Rubber
The selection of suitable gloves does not only depend on the material, but also on further marks of quality which vary
from manufacturer to manufacturer. Where the chemical is a preparation of several substances, the resistance of the
glove material can not be calculated in advance and has therefore to be checked prior to the application.
The exact break through time for substances has to be obtained from the manufacturer of the protective gloves and.has
to be observed when making a final choice.
Personal hygiene is a key element of effective hand care. Gloves must only be worn on clean hands. After using gloves,
hands should be washed and dried thoroughly. Application of a non-perfumed moisturiser is recommended.
Suitability and durability of glove type is dependent on usage. Important factors in the selection of gloves include:
· frequency and duration of contact,
· chemical resistance of glove material,
· glove thickness and
· dexterity
Select gloves tested to a relevant standard (e.g. Europe EN 374, US F739, AS/NZS 2161.1 or national equivalent).
· When prolonged or frequently repeated contact may occur, a glove with a protection class of 5 or higher
(breakthrough time greater than 240 minutes according to EN 374, AS/NZS 2161.10.1 or national equivalent) is
Hands/feet protection
recommended.
· When only brief contact is expected, a glove with a protection class of 3 or higher (breakthrough time
greater than 60 minutes according to EN 374, AS/NZS 2161.10.1 or national equivalent) is recommended.
· Some glove polymer types are less affected by movement and this should be taken into account when
considering gloves for long-term use.
· Contaminated gloves should be replaced.
As defined in ASTM F-739-96 in any application, gloves are rated as:
· Excellent when breakthrough time > 480 min
· Good when breakthrough time > 20 min
· Fair when breakthrough time < 20 min
· Poor when glove material degrades
For general applications, gloves with a thickness typically greater than 0.35 mm, are recommended.
It should be emphasised that glove thickness is not necessarily a good predictor of glove resistance to a specific
chemical, as the permeation efficiency of the glove will be dependent on the exact composition of the glove material.
Therefore, glove selection should also be based on consideration of the task requirements and knowledge of breakthrough
times.

Glove thickness may also vary depending on the glove manufacturer, the glove type and the glove model. Therefore, the
manufacturers’ technical data should always be taken into account to ensure selection of the most appropriate glove for
the task.
Note: Depending on the activity being conducted, gloves of varying thickness may be required for specific tasks. For
example:
· Thinner gloves (down to 0.1 mm or less) may be required where a high degree of manual dexterity is
needed. However, these gloves are only likely to give short duration protection and would normally be just for
single use applications, then disposed of.
· Thicker gloves (up to 3 mm or more) may be required where there is a mechanical (as well as a chemical)
risk i.e. where there is abrasion or puncture potential
Gloves must only be worn on clean hands. After using gloves, hands should be washed and dried thoroughly. Application
of a non-perfumed moisturiser is recommended.
DO NOT wear cotton or cotton-backed gloves.
DO NOT wear leather gloves.
Promptly hose all spills off leather shoes or boots or ensure that such footwear is protected with PVC over-shoes.
Body protection See Other protection below
Overalls.
PVC Apron.
PVC protective suit may be required if exposure severe.
Eyewash unit.
Ensure there is ready access to a safety shower.
Some plastic personal protective equipment (PPE) (e.g. gloves, aprons, overshoes) are not recommended as they may
produce static electricity.
Other protection
For large scale or continuous use wear tight-weave non-static clothing (no metallic fasteners, cuffs or pockets).
Non sparking safety or conductive footwear should be considered. Conductive footwear describes a boot or shoe with a
sole made from a conductive compound chemically bound to the bottom components, for permanent control to
electrically ground the foot an shall dissipate static electricity from the body to reduce the possibility of ignition of
volatile compounds. Electrical resistance must range between 0 to 500,000 ohms. Conductive shoes should be stored in
lockers close to the room in which they are worn. Personnel who have been issued conductive footwear should not wear
them from their place of work to their homes and return.

Respiratory protection
Particulate. (AS/NZS 1716 & 1715, EN 143:2000 & 149:001, ANSI Z88 or national equivalent)

Respirators may be necessary when engineering and administrative controls do not adequately prevent exposures.
The decision to use respiratory protection should be based on professional judgment that takes into account toxicity information, exposure measurement
data, and frequency and likelihood of the worker's exposure - ensure users are not subject to high thermal loads which may result in heat stress or
distress due to personal protective equipment (powered, positive flow, full face apparatus may be an option).
Published occupational exposure limits, where they exist, will assist in determining the adequacy of the selected respiratory protection. These may be
government mandated or vendor recommended.
Certified respirators will be useful for protecting workers from inhalation of particulates when properly selected and fit tested as part of a complete
respiratory protection program.
Use approved positive flow mask if significant quantities of dust becomes airborne.
Try to avoid creating dust conditions.

SECTION 11 TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION

Information on toxicological effects

The material can cause respiratory irritation in some persons. The body's response to such irritation can cause further lung
damage.
Persons with impaired respiratory function, airway diseases and conditions such as emphysema or chronic bronchitis,
may incur further disability if excessive concentrations of particulate are inhaled.
Inhaled If prior damage to the circulatory or nervous systems has occurred or if kidney damage has been sustained, proper
screenings should be conducted on individuals who may be exposed to further risk if handling and use of the material
result
in excessive exposures.

Accidental ingestion of the material may be damaging to the health of the individual.
Magnesium salts are generally absorbed so slowly that swallowing these cause few toxic effects, with purging being the
most significant. If it cannot be removed (for example in bowel obstruction or paralysis), it may irritate the gut lining and
be absorbed into the body.
Side effects of magnesium salts include upset stomach, dry mouth, dry nose, dry throat, drowsiness, nausea, heartburn,
and thickening of the lining of the throat and nose.
The magnesium ion causes salt disturbances, central nervous system depression, involvement of the heart, loss of
reflexes and death from paralysis of breathing; these effects, however, are rare without pre-existing kidney or bowel
Ingestion
disorders.
Early signs and symptoms of magnesium poisoning include nausea, vomiting, general unwellness and confusion. There
may be low blood pressure due to dilation of blood vessels. A slow heart beat is common, which may eventually lead to
stoppage of the heart.
Symptoms of exposure to perchlorates include shortness of breath, difficulty breathing and a bluish discolouration of the
skin. The effects may be delayed for several hours following exposure.
Nausea and vomiting are almost always apparent after chlorate poisonings usually with upper stomach pain. Diarrhoea
may also occur.
This material can cause inflammation of the skin on contact in some persons.
The material may accentuate any pre-existing dermatitis condition
Skin contact with the material may damage the health of the individual; systemic effects may result following absorption.
Skin Contact
Open cuts, abraded or irritated skin should not be exposed to this material
Entry into the blood-stream, through, for example, cuts, abrasions or lesions, may produce systemic injury with harmful
effects. Examine the skin prior to the use of the material and ensure that any external damage is suitably protected.

Eye This material can cause eye irritation and damage in some persons.
Long-term exposure to respiratory irritants may result in airways disease, involving difficulty breathing and related
whole-body problems.
Substance accumulation, in the human body, may occur and may cause some concern following repeated or long-term
Chronic occupational exposure.
Based on experience with animal studies, there is a possibility that exposure to the material may result in toxic effects to
the development of the foetus, at levels which do not cause significant toxic effects to the mother.

MAGNESIUM PERCHLORATE

In a case of chronic abuse of magnesium citrate, symptoms seen included tiredness and severe low blood pressure which
did not respond to treatment. Blood tests revealed extremely high levels of magnesium, and the patient was found to
have a perforated ulcer of the duodenum. Kidney failure and death followed.
A patient with normal kidney function developed stoppage of breathing and slow heart rate after receiving 90 grams of
magnesium sulfate over 18 hours. Animal testing suggests that magnesium sulfate may reduce both fertility and the
weight of offspring.
Long term exposure to high dust concentrations may cause changes in lung function i.e. pneumoconiosis, caused by
particles less than 0.5 micron penetrating and remaining in the lung.
Chronic or sublethal exposure to inorganic chlorate may have negative effects on human health, such as redness of the
eyes and skin (including skin inflammation), sore throat, abdominal pain, blue lips or skin, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting,
shortness of breath, and unconsciousness. Sodium chlorate may damage the liver, kidneys and blood cells of humans.
Animal testing showed that chlorate is toxic to the thyroid gland, although it does not cause mutations and is therefore
unlikely to cause cancer. Chlorate does not appear to cause birth defects or chromosomal abnormalities in animal testing.
Perchlorates may affect the use of iodine by the thyroid gland and chronic exposures may result in symptoms of thyroid
dysfunction such as goitre.

Unless otherwise specified data extracted from RTECS - Register of Toxic Effect of chemical Substances

Asthma-like symptoms may continue for months or even years after exposure to the material ends. This may be due to a
non-allergic condition known as reactive airways dysfunction syndrome (RADS) which can occur after exposure to high
levels of highly irritating compound. Main criteria for diagnosing RADS include the absence of previous airways disease in
a non-atopic individual, with sudden onset of persistent asthma-like symptoms within minutes to hours of a documented
exposure to the irritant. Other criteria for diagnosis of RADS include a reversible airflow pattern on lung function tests,
moderate to severe bronchial hyperreactivity on methacholine challenge testing, and the lack of minimal lymphocytic
inflammation, without eosinophilia. RADS (or asthma) following an irritating inhalation is an infrequent disorder with rates
related to the concentration of and duration of exposure to the irritating substance. On the other hand, industrial bronchitis
is a disorder that occurs as a result of exposure due to high concentrations of irritating substance (often particles) and is
completely reversible after exposure ceases. The disorder is characterized by difficulty breathing, cough and mucus
production.
MAGNESIUM
No significant acute toxicological data identified in literature search.
PERCHLORATE
Goitrogenic:
Goitrogens are substances that suppress the function of the thyroid gland by interfering with iodine uptake, which can, as
a result, cause an enlargement of the thyroid (a goitre).
Goitrogens include:
- Vitexin, a flavonoid, which inhibits thyroid peroxidase, contributing to goitre
- Thiocyanate and perchlorate, which decrease iodide uptake by competitive inhibition and consequently increase
release of TSH from the pituitary gland
- Lithium, which inhibits thyroid hormone release
- Certain foods, such as soy and millet (containing vitexins) and vegetables in the genus Brassica (which
includes broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, cauliflower and horseradish).
- Caffeine (found in coffee, tea, cola and chocolate), which acts on thyroid function as a suppressant.

Fish LC50: 100-400 mg/l

Perchlorate poses a human health concern because this contaminant has the same ionic size as iodide, and can compete with iodide for uptake into the
thyroid gland, causing changes in thyroid hormone levels and possibly thyroid disorders. Public concerns have generated considerable legislation
designed to minimise potential damage. The environmental impacts of perchlorate have been less well studied, but the pollutant is clearly being
transferred between abiotic and biotic ecosystem components. Perchlorate is a highly soluble oxyanion that is very stable and nonreactive in water.
Perchlorate salts also have a very low volatility. Although a strong oxidizing agent, the perchlorate anion is stable in the environment. Perchlorate does not
form complexes with metals in the same manner as other anions, and it does not readily sorb to material in the environment. This combination of
perchlorate solubility, stability, and mobility creates the potential for both localised and area-wide potential ecotoxicological effects, as it is a relatively
non-reactive and very stable contaminant, with very low biodegradation rates under many natural conditions. Biodegradation of perchlorate in the natural
environment (e.g., sediments) will not occur unless significant levels of organic carbon are present, oxygen and nitrate are depleted, and perchlorate-
degrading anaerobic bacteria are present. Perchlorate is a highly toxic compound that is stable and persistent in the environment. Once perchlorate gets
into the food chain or water supply, it does not break down easily. It has been detected in surface and ground water, soils and food (lettuce, bottled water,
milk, meat, kelp, animal feed). It is stable, water soluble and persistent; it is not volatile and does not readily adhere to soil. It is also found in plants
because its solubility in water allows it be taken up by their roots. The populations considered to be most sensitive to perchlorate exposure are nursing
infants, children, post-menopausal women, and people with hypothyroidism. Perchlorate interferes with thyroid functioning and is especially dangerous to
fetuses, babies, and children. It causes thyroid iodine deficiency that in turn limits the gland’s ability to produce a hormone essential to neurological
development, leading to neurological disorders. A human reference dose (daily exposure level below which EPA believes there would be no serious
negative effects to a human over their lifetime) of 0.0007 mg/kg per day has been suggested by the US EPA, who considers drinking water safe if it
contains no more than 24.5 parts per billion (ppb) of perchlorate. Perchlorate has contaminated ground and surface waters that are currently being used
for irrigation in food production. Physical processes, including mixing and dispersion, control the distribution of perchlorate in groundwater. Soil is not
expected to naturally contain perchlorate. Perchlorate does not adsorb onto inorganic surfaces, including hydrous ferric oxide, smectite, and manganese
oxide. The inorganic perchlorate compounds introduced into soils are readily soluble and are not strongly adsorbed by other soil components. In soils,
perchlorate is chemically stable and is expected to behave in a manner similar to dissolved minerals. While perchlorate is subject to leaching, its content
in the soil is expected to remain in equilibrium in irrigated crop production systems. Perchlorate has been shown to be absorbed into crops from irrigation
water or other sources such as fertilizers. Plants absorb nutrients and pollutants from solutions in the soil and are expected to accumulate perchlorate
taken from the soil, which may be influenced by external factors such as plant species and maturity, nutrient concentrations, and consumptive use of
water. While there is evidence that a portion of the absorbed perchlorate may be reduced inside the plant through biochemical pathways, the majority of
the absorbed perchlorate will translocate to and concentrate in the leaf tissue where oxygen is always present and will thus limit its reduction. This is
illustrated by the detection of higher perchlorate concentrations in leaves collected later in the growing season and in dead leaves compared to younger,
live leaves, proving that perchlorate is recycled back into the soil upon decomposition of dead leaf litter. To minimise the potential recycling of perchlorate
by leaf litter it is recommended that dead leaves be collected and composted, or phytoremediation be designed to enhance rapid rhizodegradation
(rhizoremediation). The fate of perchlorate in streambed sediments is becoming a concern due to the increasing number of groundwater and surface water
contamination sites. Results indicate that ClO4- penetration into sediments could be affected by numerous factors, such as temperature, microbial
degradation, ClO4- surface water concentration, and sediment physico-geological properties. Maximum ClO4- penetration into sediments at study sites
was 30 cm below the sediment-water surface. Evidence suggests that microbial reduction is responsible for perchlorate depletion in stream sediments.
Biodegradation of ClO4- occurred over a seasonally variable active depth zone of 1-10 cm, implying that there was a rapid natural attenuation potential of
perchlorate in near-surface sediments. Perchlorate is reduced to intermediate compounds (chlorate [Cl(V)] and chlorite [Cl(III)]) and eventually to chloride
in anaerobic environments. Perchlorate reduction is both thermodynamically and microbially enhanced under denitrifying conditions. There are numerous
strains of micro-organisms capable of reducing both chlorate and perchlorate under anoxic conditions. Perchlorate is not likely to come out of solution
given its low vapour pressure. Droplet size during showering would likely preclude significant inhalation of perchlorate-contaminated water as an aerosol. In
perchlorate-contaminated lakes and streams, perchlorate is detected infrequently in fish heads, fillets, and whole bodies, but may be detected more often
depending on species and seasonal trends, and always at concentrations higher in the fish than in the water. Perchlorates may perturb thyroid-hormone
concentration in fish; this may affect growth and neurological development. Data from fish indicates that perchlorate can also disrupt sexual
development. Certain have been so dramatic that female fish have been mistaken for males. Several females displayed male-courtship behaviour and
produced sperm. This is suggestive of the fact that perchlorate may act as an androgen (male sex hormone). The concentration of perchlorate used in
these studies was at least a 1000 times the US EPA limit (24.5 parts per billion in natural bodies of water.

SECTION 13 DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS

Waste treatment methods

Legislation addressing waste disposal requirements may differ by country, state and/ or territory. Each user must refer to
laws operating in their area. In some areas, certain wastes must be tracked.
A Hierarchy of Controls seems to be common - the user should investigate:
Reduction
Reuse
Recycling
Disposal (if all else fails)
This material may be recycled if unused, or if it has not been contaminated so as to make it unsuitable for its intended
use. Shelf life considerations should also be applied in making decisions of this type. Note that properties of a material
may change in use, and recycling or reuse may not always be appropriate. In most instances the supplier of the material
should be consulted.
DO NOT allow wash water from cleaning or process equipment to enter drains.
It may be necessary to collect all wash water for treatment before disposal.
In all cases disposal to sewer may be subject to local laws and regulations and these should be considered first.
Product / Packaging
Where in doubt contact the responsible authority.
disposal
FOR DISPOSAL OF SMALL QUANTITIES:
Cautiously acidify a 3% solution or a suspension of the material to pH 2 with sulfuric acid.
Gradually add a 50% excess of aqueous sodium bisulfite with stirring at room temperature. (Other reducers such as
thiosulfate or ferrous salts may substitute; do NOT use carbon, sulfur or other strong reducing agents). An increase in
temperature indicates reaction is taking place. If no reaction is observed on the addition of about 10% of the sodium
bisulfite solution, initiate it by cautiously adding more acid.
If manganese, chromium or molybdenum are present adjust the pH of the solution to 7 and treat with sulfide to
precipitate for burial as a hazardous waste. Destroy excess sulfide, neutralise and flush the solution down the drain
(subject to State and Local Regulation).
[Sigma/Aldrich]
Recycle wherever possible or consult manufacturer for recycling options.
Consult State Land Waste Management Authority for disposal.
Bury residue in an authorised landfill.
Recycle containers if possible, or dispose of in an authorised landfill.
