Barium Chloride 10361-37-2 90 - 100% Yes
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.
Skin Contact:May cause irritation with redness and pain.
Eye Contact: May cause irritation, redness, pain, or blurred vision.
Chronic Exposure: No information found.
Inhalation: Remove to fresh air. If not breathing,
give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Call a
physician.
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: Remove any contaminated clothing. Wash skin with soap and
water for at least 15 minutes. Get medical attention if irritation develops or
persists.
Eye Contact: Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15
minutes, lifting upper and lower eyelids occasionally. Get medical attention if
irritation persists.
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 considered to be a fire hazard.
Explosion: Not considered to be an explosion hazard.
Fire Extinguishing Media: Use any means suitable for extinguishing
surrounding fire.
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.
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. Vacuuming or wet
sweeping may be used to avoid dust dispersal.
Keep in a tightly closed container. Protect from physical damage. Store in a cool, dry, ventilated area away from sources of heat, moisture and incompatibilities. 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
and engineering controls are not feasible, a half facepiece particulate
respirator (NIOSH type N95 or better filters) may be worn for up to ten times
the exposure limit or the maximum use concentration specified by the appropriate
regulatory agency or respirator supplier, whichever is lowest.. A full-face
piece particulate respirator (NIOSH type N100 filters) 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. If
oil particles (e.g. lubricants, cutting fluids, glycerine, etc.) are present,
use a NIOSH type R or P filter. 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 solid.
Odor: Odorless.
