Potential Health Effects
----------------------------------
Inhalation:Causes irritation to the respiratory tract. Symptoms may
include coughing, shortness of breath. Systemic poisoning may occur with
symptoms similar to those of ingestion.
Ingestion:Toxic! May cause tightness of the muscles of the face and neck,
vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, muscular tremors, anxiety, weakness, labored
breathing, cardiac irregularity, convulsions, and death from cardiac and
respiratory failure. Estimated lethal dose lies between 1 to 15 grams. Death may
occur within hours or up to a few days. May cause kidney damage.
Skin Contact:Causes irritation to skin. Symptoms include redness,
itching, and pain.
Eye Contact:Causes irritation, redness, and pain.
Chronic Exposure:No information found.
Aggravation of Pre-existing Conditions:Persons with pre-existing skin and
nervous system disorders or impaired respiratory or kidney function may be more
susceptible to the effects of this substance.
Inhalation:Remove to fresh air. If not breathing,
give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical
attention.
Ingestion:Get medical attention immediately. Induce vomiting immediately
as directed by medical personnel. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious
person. 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:Immediately flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15
minutes. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Get medical attention. Wash
clothing before reuse. Thoroughly clean shoes before reuse.
Eye Contact:Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15
minutes, lifting upper and lower eyelids occasionally. Get medical attention.
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.
Fire:Not combustible, but substance is a strong
oxidizer and its heat of reaction with reducing agents or combustibles may cause
ignition.
Explosion:Contact with oxidizable substances may cause extremely violent
combustion. See section 10. Sensitive to mechanical impact.
Fire Extinguishing Media:Use flooding amounts of water in early stages of
fire. Foam, dry chemical, or carbon dioxide may also be used. Do not use water
on molten material. Emits nitrogen oxides when heated to decomposition.
Special Information:In the event of a fire, wear full protective clothing
and NIOSH-approved self-contained breathing apparatus with full facepiece
operated in the pressure demand or other positive pressure mode. Do not release
runoff from fire control methods to sewers or waterways.
Ventilate area of leak or spill. Keep unnecessary and unprotected people away from area of spill. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment as specified in Section 8. Spills: Pick up and place in a suitable container for reclamation or disposal, using a method that does not generate dust.
Keep in a tightly closed container, stored in a cool, dry, ventilated area. Protect against physical damage. Isolate from incompatible substances. Separate from combustibles, organic or other readily oxidizable materials. Avoid storage on wood floors. Containers of this material may be hazardous when empty since they retain product residues (dust, solids); observe all warnings and precautions listed for the product.
Airborne Exposure Limits:For Soluble Barium
Compounds:
OSHA Permissible Exposure Limit (PEL):
0.5 mg (Ba)/m3
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 to keep employee exposures below the Airborne Exposure Limits. Local
exhaust ventilation is generally preferred because it can control the emissions
of the contaminant at its source, preventing dispersion of it into the general
work area. Please refer to the ACGIH document, Industrial Ventilation, A
Manual of Recommended Practices, most recent edition, for details.
Personal Respirators (NIOSH Approved):If the exposure limit is exceeded,
a full facepiece respirator with dust/mist filter may be worn up to 50 times the
exposure limit or the maximum use concentration specified by the appropriate
regulatory agency or respirator supplier, whichever is lowest. For emergencies
or instances where the exposure levels are not known, use a full-facepiece
positive-pressure, air-supplied respirator. WARNING: Air purifying respirators
do not protect workers in oxygen-deficient atmospheres.
Skin Protection:Wear impervious protective clothing, including boots,
gloves, lab coat, apron or coveralls, as appropriate, to prevent skin contact.
Eye Protection:Use chemical safety goggles. Maintain eye wash fountain
and quick-drench facilities in work area.
Appearance:White crystals.
Odor:Odorless.
Solubility:8.7 grams/100 g water @ 20C (68F).
Density:3.24 @ 23C (73F)
pH:No information found.
% Volatiles by volume @ 21C (70F):0
Boiling Point:Decomposes.
Melting Point:592C (1098F)
Vapor Density (Air=1):No information found.
Vapor Pressure (mm Hg):No information found.
Evaporation Rate (BuAc=1):No information found.
Stability:Stable under ordinary conditions of use
and storage.
Hazardous Decomposition Products:Oxides of nitrogen and toxic metal fumes
may form when heated to decomposition.
Hazardous Polymerization:Will not occur.
Incompatibilities:Magnesium plus barium oxide plus zinc, aluminum and
magnesium alloys, combustibles (paper, oil, wood),acids, and oxidizers. Mixtures
with finely divided aluminum-magnesium alloys are easily ignitable and extremely
sensitive to friction or impact.
Conditions to Avoid:Heat, dusting, contact with combustibles and
incompatibles.
Environmental Fate:This material may bioaccumulate
to some extent.
Environmental Toxicity:No information found.
Whatever cannot be saved for recovery or recycling should be managed in an appropriate and approved waste facility. Although not a listed RCRA hazardous waste, this material may exhibit one or more characteristics of a hazardous waste and require appropriate analysis to determine specific disposal requirements. Processing, use or contamination of this product may change the waste management options. State and local disposal regulations may differ from federal disposal regulations. Dispose of container and unused contents in accordance with federal, state and local requirements.
