SECTION 3: Hazards Identification
Emergency Overview: Water soluble barium compounds are generally poisonous when taken by mouth. Barium interacts with the cell wall causing indiscriminate stimulation of all muscle cells.
Primary Routes of Exposure: Ingestion
Eye Contact: May cause slight to mild irritation of the eyes.
Skin Contact: May cause slight to mild irritation of the skin.
Inhalation: May cause difficulty in breathing, tightness of the muscles of the face and neck.
Ingestion: Toxic if swallowed. ingestion causes vomiting, irregular heartbeat, pain, tremors, convulsions and cardiac arrest.
Acute Health Effects: May cause difficulty in breathing, vomiting, tremors, weakness, and death from cardiac and respiratory failure Barium forms a protein adduct in serum and is deposited in bone.
Chronic Health Effects: No information available on long-term chronic effects.
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 a sodium sulfate solution as antidote as directed by medical personnel.
