EMERGENCY
OVERVIEW
Appearance:
white powder.
Warning! Harmful if inhaled or swallowed. May cause eye, skin, and
respiratory tract irritation. Hygroscopic (absorbs moisture from the air).
Target Organs: Kidneys, heart, liver, spleen, gastrointestinal system,
muscles, bone marrow, nervous system.
Potential Health Effects
Eye: May cause eye irritation.
Skin: May cause skin irritation.
Ingestion: May cause kidney, liver and spleen damage. The barium ion is a
muscle poison causing stimulation and then paralysis. Initial symptoms are
gastrointestinal, including nausea, vomiting, colic, and diarrhea, followed by
myocardial and general muscular stimulation with tingling in the extremities.
The barium ion is a muscle poison causing stimulation and then paralysis.
Initial symptoms are gastrointestinal, including nausea, vomiting, colic, and
diarrhea, followed by myocardial and general muscular stimulation with tingling
in the extremities. The barium ion is a muscle poison causing stimulation and
then paralysis. Initial symptoms are gastrointestinal, including nausea,
vomiting, colic, and diarrhea, followed by myocardial and general muscular
stimulation with tingling in the extremities. Barium deposition may result in
increased density of bones.
Inhalation: Harmful if inhaled. The toxicological properties of this
substance have not been fully investigated. Inhalation of dust may cause
respiratory tract irritation. Inhalation at high concentrations may cause CNS
depression and asphixiation.
Chronic: Inhalation at high concentrations may cause CNS depression and
asphixiation.
Section
4 - First Aid Measures |
Eyes: Flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes,
occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids. Get medical aid.
Skin: Get medical aid. Flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15
minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Wash clothing before
reuse.
Ingestion: Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Get
medical aid. Do NOT induce vomiting. If conscious and alert, rinse mouth and
drink 2-4 cupfuls of milk or water.
Inhalation: Remove from exposure and move to fresh air immediately. If
breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical aid. Do NOT use mouth-to-mouth
resuscitation. If breathing has ceased apply artificial respiration using oxygen
and a suitable mechanical device such as a bag and a mask.
Notes to Physician: Institute cardiac monitoring for all significant
ingestions of soluble barium salts. Institute cardiac monitoring for all
significant ingestions of soluble barium salts.
Section
5 - Fire Fighting Measures |
General
Information: As in any fire, wear a self-contained breathing apparatus in
pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent), and full protective gear.
During a fire, irritating and highly toxic gases may be generated by thermal
decomposition or combustion. Substance is noncombustible.
Extinguishing Media: Substance is noncombustible; use agent most
appropriate to extinguish surrounding fire.
Flash Point: Not available.
Autoignition Temperature: Not available.
Explosion Limits, Lower:Not available.
Upper: Not available.
NFPA Rating: (estimated) Health: 2; Flammability: 0; Instability: 0
Section
6 - Accidental Release Measures |
General
Information: Use proper personal protective equipment as indicated in Section 8.
Spills/Leaks: Vacuum or sweep up material and place into a suitable
disposal container. Wash area with soap and water. Clean up spills immediately,
observing precautions in the Protective Equipment section. Avoid generating
dusty conditions. Provide ventilation.
Section
7 - Handling and Storage |
Handling:
Wash thoroughly after handling. Use with adequate ventilation. Minimize dust
generation and accumulation. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing. Keep
container tightly closed. Avoid ingestion and inhalation.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Store in a tightly closed container.
Store protected from moisture.
Section
8 - Exposure Controls, Personal Protection |
Engineering
Controls: Facilities storing or
utilizing this material should be equipped with an eyewash facility and a safety
shower. Use adequate general or local exhaust ventilation to keep airborne
concentrations below the permissible exposure limits.
