SECTION 3: Hazards Identification
Emergency Overview: Harmful by inhalation and if swallowed. Barium compounds are generally poisonous if ingested. Irritating to skin, eyes and respiratory tract.
Primary Routes of Exposure: Ingestion, inhalation, skin and eyes
Eye Contact: Causes slight to mild irritation of the eyes
Skin Contact: Causes slight to mild irritation of the skin
Inhalation: Harmful by inhalation. Irritating to nose, and respiratory tract. May cause difficulty in breathing.
Ingestion: Harmful if swallowed. Soluble barium may cause vomiting, irregular heartbeat, pain, tremors, convulsions and cardiac arrest.
Acute Health Effects: Harmful by inhalation and if swallowed. Irritating to skin, eyes and respiratory tract. Barium may cause difficulty in breathing, vomiting, tremors, and death.
Chronic Health Effects: Repeated ingestion of small amounts may cause loss of appetite and weight loss
NTP: No
IARC: No
OSHA: No
SECTION 4: First Aid Measures
Eye Exposure: Immediately flush the eyes with copious amounts of water for at least 10-15 minutes. A victim may need assistance in keeping their eye lids open. Get immediate medical attention.
Skin Exposure: Wash the affected area with water. Remove contaminated clothes if necessary. Seek medical assistance if irritation persists.
Inhalation: Remove the victim to fresh air. Closely monitor the victim for signs of respiratory problems, such as difficulty in breathing, coughing, wheezing, or pain. In such cases seek immediate medical assistance.
Ingestion: Seek medical attention immediately. Keep the victim calm. Give the victim water (only if conscious). Induce vomiting only if directed by medical personnel.
SECTION 5: Fire Fighting Measures
Flash Point: not applicable
Autoignition Temperature: none
Explosion Limits: none
Extinguishing Medium: carbon dioxide, foam or dry powder
Special Fire Fighting Procedures: If this product is involved in a fire, fire fighters should be equipped with a NIOSH approved positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing.
Hazardous Combustion and Decomposion Products: If involved in a fire this material may emit irritating fumes.
Unusual Fire or Explosion Hazards: Metal nitrates can be oxidizers. Contact with strong reducing agents could lead to fires and/or explosions.
SECTION 6: Accidental Release Measures
Spill and Leak Procedures: Small spills can be mixed with vermiculite or sodium carbonate and swept up.
SECTION 7: Handling and Storage
Handling and Storage: Store in a tightly sealed container. Keep away from heat and direct sunlight.
SECTION 8: Exposure Controls and Personal Protection
Eye Protection: Always wear approved safety glasses when handling a chemical substance in the laboratory.
Skin Protection: Wear protective clothing and gloves.
