Handling and Disposal
=======================================================
Spill Release Procedures: THOSE INVOLVED IN CLEAN-UP OF SPILLS SHLD USE RESP
PROT FOR AIRBORNE DUST. VACUUM/SCOOP UP SPILLED MATL FOR RECOVERY/DISPOSAL,
AVOIDING DUSTING CNDTNS & USING GOOD VENT. WETTING THE SPILL WITH A WATER
SPRAY MAY HELP TO KEEP AIRBORNE DUST LEVELS DOWN.
Neutralizing Agent: NONE SPECIFIED BY MANUFACTURER.
Waste Disposal Methods: BARIUM SULFATE IS NOT CONSIDERED TO BE A RCRA HAZ WASTE
AS REFERENCED IN 40 CFR 261.24 OR 261.3. HOWEVER, THE USER SHOULD CONSULT
WITH THE STATE ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATORY AGENCY BEFORE DISPOSING OF THI S
MATERIAL.
Handling And Storage Precautions: FOR TRANSPORATION EMERGENCIES, CALL CHEMTREC,
24 HOURS INFORMATION SERVICE, (804) 424-9300.
Other Precautions: NOTE: FEDERAL REGULATION REQUIREMENTS FOR BARIUM SULFATE ARE
LISTED. STATE AGENCIES MAY IMPOSE MORE RESTRICTIVE REGULATIONS THAN USEPA AND
SHOULD BE REVIEWED TO INSURE COMPLIANCE.
