Impurities: May contain trace contaminants from production process, typically below 0.01%
Inhalation: Move person to fresh air, provide oxygen if breathing is difficult, seek medical attention immediately
Skin Contact: Remove contaminated clothing, wash skin with plenty of soap and water for at least 15 minutes, get medical help
Eye Contact: Flush eyes immediately with clean water for at least 20 minutes, lift eyelids, remove contact lenses if easy, seek prompt medical care
Ingestion: Do not induce vomiting, rinse mouth carefully, offer water if conscious, never give anything by mouth to unconscious person, get medical help right away
Most Important Symptoms: Nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, burns, respiratory distress, risk of cancer with prolonged exposure
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Use dry chemical, CO₂, foam; do not use water jet on the substance directly
Specific Hazards: Toxic fumes of arsenic and barium oxides may form during a fire
Protective Equipment: Firefighters wear self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective gear
Firefighting Instructions: Keep upwind, avoid inhaling gases and vapors, stay clear of containers in case of rupture due to heat
Explosion Hazard: Not classified as explosive, but decomposition may release toxic gases
Personal Precautions: Evacuate unnecessary personnel, ventilate area, wear chemical-resistant gloves, goggles, and a respirator
Environmental Precautions: Prevent spillage from entering water sources, sewers, or drains
Cleanup Methods: Wear full protective gear, sweep up material carefully to avoid dust, store in labeled waste containers, avoid generating airborne dust, clean surfaces with damp paper towels, dispose as hazardous waste
Handling: Work in a chemical fume hood, avoid breathing dust, use tools to minimize direct contact, never eat or drink near use area, keep product sealed when possible
Storage Conditions: Store in tightly closed containers, keep dry and well-ventilated, place separately from acids, oxidizers, or food substances, lock storage area if possible
Storage Temperature: Ambient temperatures away from direct sunlight and moisture
Other Precautions: Label storage area with hazard signage, review Transport and Regulatory Information for movement requirements
Exposure Limits: OSHA PEL and ACGIH TLV for arsenic compounds apply: typically 0.01 mg/m³ for inorganic arsenic
Engineering Controls: Require ventilation, fume hood, or local exhaust, use closed systems where possible, monitor air for contamination
Personal Protective Equipment: Chemical-resistant gloves (nitrile, neoprene), goggles or full face shield, lab coat or chemical apron, NIOSH-approved particulate respirator or better for dust
Hygiene Measures: Wash hands thoroughly, shower after handling, remove contaminated clothing immediately, do not reuse contaminated garments unless thoroughly cleaned

Hazardous Decomposition Products: Barium and arsenic oxides, toxic arsenic vapors
Routes of Exposure: Inhalation, ingestion, skin and eye contact
Acute Effects: Highly toxic by oral ingestion, can cause death, severe irritation to skin and eyes, inhaled dust damages lungs
Chronic Effects: Arsenic compounds are carcinogenic, may cause chronic lung, skin, and neurological disorders
Symptoms: Gastrointestinal distress, skin lesions, respiratory problems, risk of coma or death at high doses
LD50 (oral, rat): Less than 10 mg/kg for similar arsenic compounds
Carcinogenicity: IARC Group 1: Carcinogenic to humans (arsenic compounds)
Other Data: Long term exposure weakens immunity, impairs organ function
Ecotoxicity: Highly toxic to aquatic organisms and plants
Persistence: Does not readily degrade, arsenic ions can remain in environment for years
Bioaccumulation: Barium and arsenic accumulate in aquatic organisms, move through food chain
Mobility: Low water solubility limits migration, but dust can disperse by wind
Soil Impact: Contaminates soil and groundwater, severely affects soil micro-organisms
Other Concerns: Contaminated sites require careful management and often need remediation
Disposal Methods: Treat as hazardous waste, use licensed waste contractor, comply with federal and local regulations
Container Disposal: Rinse containers thoroughly, destroy by regulated means, do not reuse
Special Precautions: Never dispose of in regular garbage, drains, or surface water, retain waste shipment documentation for inspection
