 **** SECTION 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION ****
 
 EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
 Harmful by inhalation and if swallowed.
 
 Potential Health Effects
 Eye:
 May cause eye irritation.
 Skin:
 May cause skin irritation.
 Ingestion:
 May be harmful if swallowed. The barium ion is a muscle poison
 causing stimulation and then paralysis. Initial symptoms are
 gastrointestinal, including nausea, vomiting, colic, and diarrhea,
 followed by myocardial and general muscular stimulation with tingling
 in the extremities.
 Inhalation:
 May cause respiratory tract irritation. May be harmful if inhaled.
 Chronic:
 May cause lung damage.
 
 **** SECTION 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES ****
 
 Eyes:
 Flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes,
 occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids. Get medical aid.
 Skin:
 Get medical aid. Flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15
 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Wash clothing
 before reuse.
 Ingestion:
 Do not induce vomiting. If victim is conscious and alert, give 2-4
 cupfuls of milk or water. Never give anything by mouth to an
 unconscious person. Get medical aid.
 Inhalation:
 Remove from exposure and move to fresh air immediately. If not
 breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult,
 give oxygen. Get medical aid if cough or other symptoms appear. Do
 NOT use mouth-to-mouth resuscitation.
 Notes to Physician:
 Signs and symptoms of hypokalemia are relieved by intravenous
 infusion of K+. Institute cardiac monitoring for all significant
 ingestions of soluble barium salts.
 
 **** SECTION 5 - FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES ****
 
 General Information:
 As in any fire, wear a self-contained breathing apparatus in
 pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent), and full
 protective gear. During a fire, irritating and highly toxic gases
 may be generated by thermal decomposition or combustion.
 Extinguishing Media:
 Use extinguishing media most appropriate for the surrounding fire.
 
 **** SECTION 6 - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES ****
 
 General Information: Use proper personal protective equipment as indicated
 in Section 8.
 Spills/Leaks:
 Vacuum or sweep up material and place into a suitable disposal
 container. Clean up spills immediately, observing precautions in the
 Protective Equipment section. Avoid generating dusty conditions.
 Provide ventilation.
 
 **** SECTION 7 - HANDLING and STORAGE ****
 
 Handling:
 Wash thoroughly after handling. Use with adequate ventilation.
 Minimize dust generation and accumulation. Avoid contact with eyes,
 skin, and clothing. Avoid breathing dust.
 Storage:
 Store in a cool, dry place.
 
 **** SECTION 8 - EXPOSURE CONTROLS, PERSONAL PROTECTION ****
 
 Engineering Controls:
 Local exhaust ventilation may be necessary to control any air
 contaminants to within their TLVs during the use of this product.
 Facilities storing or utilizing this material should be equipped
 with an eyewash facility and a safety shower.
