Inhalation: Move person to fresh air, keep at rest, seek medical attention if breathing difficulties persist.
Skin Contact: Wash thoroughly with soap and water. Remove contaminated clothing and footwear. If irritation develops, contact a healthcare provider.
Eye Contact: Rinse eyes with plenty of lukewarm water for at least 15 minutes, keeping eyelids open. Remove contact lenses if present and easy to do. Call a doctor if irritation continues.
Ingestion: Rinse mouth cautiously, do not induce vomiting. Get immediate medical attention. Drink water if conscious.
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Water spray, fog. Do not use dry chemicals or carbon dioxide due to oxidizing nature.
Specific Hazards: Strong oxidizer, supports combustion, may cause fire or explosion on contact with combustible material. Toxic nitrogen oxide gases may be released.
Protective Equipment: Firefighters wear self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective gear.
Special Procedures: Move containers away from fire area if safe to do so; avoid inhalation of gases.
Personal Precautions: Evacuate unnecessary personnel, wear chemical-resistant gloves and goggles, ensure proper ventilation.
Environmental Precautions: Prevent access to drains, sewers, or waterways. Alert relevant authorities if large spill enters water sources.
Spill Response: Sweep or scoop up material without generating dust, place in suitable, approved containers. Do not use combustible cleaning tools.
Decontamination: Wash spill site after material removal, dispose of waste according to local regulations.
Handling: Avoid dust formation, prevent contact with skin, eyes, and clothing. Use spark-proof tools and equipment. Wash hands thoroughly after handling.
Storage: Store in cool, dry, well-ventilated place, away from organics, reducing agents, and combustibles. Keep container tightly closed, label properly, and store away from acids and moisture.
Special Storage Conditions: Maintain separate from food and drink. Use secondary containment to minimize accidental release.
Occupational Exposure Limits: No specific OSHA or ACGIH limits for strontium nitrate, general dust exposure limits apply.
Engineering Controls: Local exhaust ventilation, eye wash stations, and safety showers recommended.
Personal Protective Equipment: Chemical splash goggles, impervious gloves (nitrile or rubber), long-sleeved protective clothing, dust mask or respirator if airborne dust is generated.
Hygiene Measures: No eating, drinking, or smoking in work areas. Remove contaminated clothing and equipment before entering eating areas.
