skin and respiratory tract.
OSHA Hazards: Toxic by ingestion, Target Organ Effect
Target Organs: Heart, Nerves, Kidneys, Gastrointestinal tract, Bone marrow, Spleen, Liver
HMIS Classification
NFPA Rating
Health Hazard: 2
Health Hazard: 2
Chronic Health Hazard: *
Fire: 0
Flammability: 0
Reactivity Hazard: 0
Physical hazards: 0
Lab Protective Equip: Goggles, Gloves, Lab Coat
Storage Color Code: Blue (poison)
Potential Health Effects:
Inhalation: Irritates the respiratory tract. May produce sore throat, coughing and labored breathing. Other symptoms may
parallel ingestion.
Ingestion: Toxic! May cause severe gastroenteritis, including abdominal pain, vomiting and diarrhea. May cause tremors,
faintness, paralysis of arms and legs, and slow or irregular heartbeat. Severe cases may produce collapse and death on
respiratory failure. Estimated lethal dose in humans: 1 gram solid.
Skin Contact: May cause irritation with redness and pain.
Eye Contact: May cause irritation, redness, pain, or blurred vision.
Chronic Exposure: No information found.
Aggravation of Pre-existing Conditions: Persons with pre-existing skin disorders or impaired respiratory function may be more
susceptible to the effects of the substance.
4. First Aid Measures
Inhalation: Remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical
attention immediately.
Ingestion: If swallowed, give water or milk if conscious and induce vomiting as directed by medical personnel. Get immediate
medical attention. After vomiting, a mixture of 1 tablespoon of sodium or magnesium sulfate (Epsom salts) dissolved in 8 oz. of
water to drink maybe indicated to precipitate the barium as the nontoxic and insoluble barium sulfate.
Skin Contact: In case of skin contact, immediately flush skin with large amounts of water while removing contaminated clothing
and shoes. Get medical attention immediately.
Eye Contact: Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, lifting lower and upper eyelids occasionally.
Get medical attention immediately.

Note to Physician: Monitor patients with significant ingestion for respiratory, cardiovascular, and blood pressure status. Watch
for cardiac arrhythmias, respiratory failure due to flaccid paralysis of respiratory muscles, pulmonary edema, vocal cord
paralysis, severe hypertension, and late effect kidney failure. Acute barium poisoning results in hypokalemia. The administration
of fluids containing dilute concentrations of potassium salts may be indicated.
5. Fire Fighting Measures
Fire: Not considered a fire hazard.
Explosion: Not considered an explosion hazard.
Fire Extinguishing Media: Use any means suitable for surrounding fire.
Special Information: In the event of a fire, wear full protective clothing and NIOSH-approved self-contained breathing
apparatus with full-face piece operated in the pressure demand or other positive pressure mode.
6. Accidental Release Measures
Ventilate area of leak or spill. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment as specified in Section 8. Spills: Sweep up and
containerize for reclamation or disposal. Do not allow product to enter drains. Discharge to the environment must be avoided.
7. Handling and Storage
Keep in a tightly closed container, stored in a cool, dry, ventilated area. Protect against physical damage. Separate from

ACGIH Threshold Limit Value (TLV): 0.5 mg (Ba)/m3 A4 - not classifiable as a human carcinogen
Ventilation System: A system of local and/or general exhaust is recommended.
Personal Respirators: Where risk assessment shows air-purifying respirators are appropriate, use a full-face respirator with
multipurpose combination (US) or type ABEK (EN 14387) respirator cartridges as a backup to engineering controls.
Skin Protection: Wear impervious protective clothing as appropriate to prevent skin contact.
Eye Protection: Use chemical safety goggles and/or a full face shield where splashing is possible. Maintain eye wash fountain
and quick-drench facilities in work area.
