| SECTION 3: Hazards Identification | |
|---|---|
| Emergency Overview: | Harmful by inhalation and if swallowed. Irritating to skin, eyes and respiratory tract. |
| Primary Routes of Exposure: | Ingestion, inhalation, skin and eyes |
| Eye Contact: | Causes severe irritation of the eyes resulting in redness and watering. |
| Skin Contact: | Prolonged contact with moist skin causes irritation. |
| 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: | Barium may form a protein adduct in serum and deposit in bone. Long term exposure to dust may cause baritosis, a benign pneumoconiosis |
| 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. |
