Health Hazards Information -Recommended Personal Protective Equipment: Goggles or face shield;
dust respirator (US Bureau of Mines approved); rubberized shoes and gloves; coveralls or other
suitable outer clothing; Symptoms Following fiposure: Inhalation causes irritation of upper respiratory
system. Contact with eyes or skin causes irritation. Ingestion causes abdominal pain, nausea and
vomiting diarrhea, pallor, blueness, shortness of breath, excessive salvation, convulsive tremors, slow,
hard pulse, elevated blood pressure, unconsciousness. Hemorrhages may occur in the stomach,
intestines, and kidneys. Muscular paralysis may follow; General Trement for Exgosure: Get medical
attention. Alert doctor to possibility of barium poisoning, particularly if compound was swallowed.
INHALATION: remove to fresh air. EYES: flush with copious quantities of water for at least 15 min;
get medical attention. SKIN: flush with water. INGESTION induce vomiting and call a physician;
have victim drink aqueous 10% solution of magnesium or sodium sulfate; for severe intoxication,
calcium or a magnesium salt may have to be given I.V. with caution; treatment otherwise is supportive
and symptomatic; Toxicity by Inhalation (Threshold Limit Value): 0,s mg/m3; Short-Term Ekposure
Limits: Data not available; Toxicity by Ingestion: Data not available; Lute Toxicity: Barium poisoning;
Vapor (Gas) Irritant Characteristics: Not pertinent; Liquid or Solid Irritant Characteristics: Data not
available; Odor Threshold: Not pertinent.
Fire Hazards - Fhh Point: Not flammable but may cause explosions when involved in fires;
Flammable Limits in Air (96): Not pertinent; Fire Extinguishing Agents: Not pertinent; Fire
Extinguishing Agents Not To Be Used No data; Special Hazards of Combustion Products: Produces
toxic fumes when involved in a fire; Behavior in Fire: May cause an explosion when involved in a fire;
Ignition Temperature: Not pertinent; Electrical Hazard Not pertinent; Burning Rate: Not pertinent.
Chemical Reactivity - Reactivity with Water: No reaction; Reactivity with Common Materials: Can
form explosive mixtures with combustible materials such as wood, oil - these mixtures can be ignited
readily by friction; Stability During Tmnsport: Stable; Neutralizing Agents for Acids and Caustics: Not
