Section 3 - Hazards Identification |
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Appearance: white solid.
Warning! Harmful if swallowed. Causes eye and skin irritation. Causes severe respiratory tract irritation.
May cause lung damage. May cause cardiac disturbances. May cause kidney damage.
Target Organs: Kidneys, heart, respiratory system, muscles, cardiovascular system.
Potential Health Effects
Eye: Contact produces irritation, tearing, and burning pain. May cause conjunctivitis.
Skin: Causes skin irritation. Prolonged contact with the skin, especially if the skin is wet or moist, causes necrosis.
Ingestion: Harmful if swallowed. May cause kidney 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. Barium chloride affects the muscles (especially the smooth muscles of the cardiovascular and respiratory systems), causes salivation, tingling of the mouth or face, convulsions, numbness, muscle paralysis, respiratory failure, slow pulse rate, pulmonary edema, irregular heart beat, potassium deficiency in the blood.
Inhalation: Causes respiratory tract irritation. May cause effects similar to those described for ingestion.
Chronic: Chronic exposure may cause effects similar to those of acute exposure.
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: Do not induce vomiting. If victim is conscious and alert, give 2-4 cupfuls of milk or water. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Get medical aid immediately.
Inhalation: Remove from exposure and move to fresh air immediately. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical aid. Do NOT use mouth-to-mouth resuscitation.
Notes to Physician: Do NOT use mouth-to-mouth resuscitation.
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.
Extinguishing Media: For small fires, use dry chemical, carbon dioxide, water spray or alcohol-resistant foam. Substance is noncombustible; use agent most appropriate to extinguish surrounding fire.
Flash Point: Not applicable.
Autoignition Temperature: Not applicable.
Explosion Limits, Lower: 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. 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. Wash hands before eating. Use with adequate ventilation. Minimize dust generation and accumulation. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing. Do not ingest or inhale.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible substances.
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.
