Eye Contact: Rinse cautiously with water for several minutes, remove contact lenses if present and easy to do, continue rinsing, seek immediate medical attention
Skin Contact: Wash with plenty of soap and water, remove contaminated clothing and thoroughly wash before reuse, get medical help if irritation develops
Inhalation: Remove person to fresh air, keep comfortable for breathing, seek immediate medical attention if symptoms persist (headache, dizziness, respiratory distress)
Ingestion: Rinse mouth, do not induce vomiting, get immediate medical attention, never administer anything by mouth to an unconscious person
Most Important Symptoms: Abdominal pain, vomiting, diarrhea, muscle weakness, blue discoloration of skin and lips, convulsions, collapse
Advice for Physicians: Treat for barium poisoning, consider use of sulfate salts (such as sodium sulfate) as an antidote, monitor vital signs closely
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Use water spray, flooding quantities of water, foam can be considered for controlling fire but may be less effective
Unsuitable Extinguishing Media: Do not use dry chemical extinguishers or carbon dioxide, avoid sand or materials containing carbon
Special Hazards: Oxidizer, contact with combustibles can cause fire, emits toxic fumes of bromine compounds and barium oxides under fire conditions
Protective Equipment: Wear self-contained breathing apparatus, chemical protective clothing, keep upwind, approach fire from a safe distance
Specific Methods: Remove containers from fire zone if safe to do so, use water spray to cool exposed containers, avoid water runoff into sewers
Personal Precautions: Evacuate area, wear suitable respiratory and skin protection, avoid breathing dust and contact with skin and eyes
Environmental Precautions: Prevent entry into drains, surface water or soil, alert authorities if material enters waterways
Methods for Clean-up: Sweep or shovel up the material while minimizing dust generation, collect in suitable, clearly labeled containers for disposal, wash spill site after material removal
Decontamination: Use plenty of water after collection, ventilate the area, contaminated surfaces should be cleaned with reducing agents such as sodium thiosulfate
Handling: Work in well-ventilated areas, use spark-proof tools and explosion-proof equipment, avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothing, wash hands thoroughly after handling
Storage: Store in tightly closed containers, in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place, keep away from heat sources, flammable materials, acids, organics and reducing agents
Incompatible Materials: Acids, combustible substances, organic materials, reducing agents, powdered metals, phosphorus
Other Precautions: Keep containers upright and securely closed, label containers clearly, restrict access to trained personnel
Exposure Limits: OSHA PEL for soluble barium compounds (as Ba): 0.5 mg/m3 TWA
Engineering Controls: Use local exhaust ventilation, chemical fume hood, ensure eyewash stations and emergency showers are available
Personal Protection: NIOSH-approved dust respirator or self-contained breathing apparatus, splash goggles, chemical-resistant gloves (nitrile, neoprene), protective lab coat, closed footwear
