Section 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES
路 INDUCE vomiting with fingers down the back of the throat, ONLY IF CONSCIOUS. Lean
patient forward or place on left side (head-down position, if possible) to maintain open
airway and prevent aspiration.
NOTE: Wear a protective glove when inducing vomiting by mechanical means.
EYE
If this product comes in contact with the eyes:
路 Wash out immediately with fresh running water.
路 Ensure complete irrigation of the eye by keeping eyelids apart and away from eye and
moving the eyelids by occasionally lifting the upper and lower lids.
路 If pain persists or recurs seek medical attention.
路 Removal of contact lenses after an eye injury should only be undertaken by skilled
personnel.
SKIN
If skin or hair contact occurs:
路 Flush skin and hair with running water (and soap if available).
路 Seek medical attention in event of irritation.
INHALED
路 If fumes or combustion products are inhaled remove from contaminated area.
路 Lay patient down. Keep warm and rested.
路 Prostheses such as false teeth, which may block airway, should be removed, where
possible, prior to initiating first aid procedures.
路 Apply artificial respiration if not breathing, preferably with a demand valve
resuscitator, bag-valve mask device, or pocket mask as trained. Perform CPR if necessary.
路 Transport to hospital, or doctor.
NOTES TO PHYSICIAN
Treat symptomatically.
路 After ingestion of barium acid salts, severe gastro-intestinal irritation followed by
muscle twitching, progressive flaccid paralysis and severe hypokalemia and hypertension,
occurs.
路 Respiratory failure, renal failure and occasional cardiac dysrhythmias may result from
an acute ingestion.
路 Use sodium sulfate as a cathartic. Add 5-10 gm of sodium sulfate to lavage solution or
as fluid supplement to Ipecac syrup (the sulfate salt is not absorbed)
路 Monitor cardiac rhythm and serum potassium closely to establish the trend over the
first 24 hours. Large doses of potassium may be needed to correct the hypokalemia.
路 Administer generous amounts of fluid replacement but monitor the urine and serum for
evidence of renal failure. [Ellenhorn and Barceloux: Medical Toxicology].
Acute barium poisoning gives a rapid decrease in blood potassium level.

STORAGE INCOMPATIBILITY
Contact with acids produces toxic fumes.
Metals and their oxides or salts may react violently with chlorine trifluoride. Chlorine
trifluoride is a hypergolic oxidiser. It ignites on contact (without external source of
heat or ignition) with recognised fuels - contact with these materials, following an
ambient or slightly elevated temperature, is often violent and may produce ignition. The
state of subdivision may affect the results.
Avoid reaction with oxidising agents.
Avoid storage bromine trifluoride and 2-furanpercarboxylic acid.
STORAGE REQUIREMENTS

PERSONAL PROTECTION
EYE
路 Safety glasses with side shields.
路 Chemical goggles.
路 Contact lenses may pose a special hazard; soft contact lenses may absorb and
concentrate irritants. A written policy document, describing the wearing of lens or
restrictions on use, should be created for each workplace or task. This should include a
review of lens absorption and adsorption for the class of chemicals in use and an account
of injury experience. Medical and first-aid personnel should be trained in their removal
and suitable equipment should be readily available. In the event of chemical exposure,
begin eye irrigation immediately and remove contact lens as soon as practicable. Lens
should be removed at the first signs of eye redness or irritation - lens should be
removed in a clean environment only after workers have washed hands thoroughly. [CDC
NIOSH Current Intelligence Bulletin 59].

ENGINEERING CONTROLS
Local exhaust ventilation usually required. If risk of overexposure exists, wear approved
respirator. Correct fit is essential to obtain adequate protection. Supplied-air type
respirator may be required in special circumstances. Correct fit is essential to ensure
adequate protection.
An approved self contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) may be required in some situations.
Provide adequate ventilation in warehouse or closed storage area. Air contaminants
generated in the workplace possess varying "escape" velocities which, in turn, determine
the "capture velocities" of fresh circulating air required to effectively remove the
contaminant.
Type of Contaminant: Air Speed:
solvent, vapours, degreasing etc., evaporating 0.25- 0.5 m/s (50- 100 f/min.)
from tank (in still air).
aerosols, fumes from pouring operations, 0.5- 1 m/s (100- 200 f/min.)
intermittent container filling, low speed
conveyer transfers, welding, spray drift,
plating acid fumes, pickling (released at low
velocity into zone of active generation)
direct spray, spray painting in shallow booths, 1- 2.5 m/s (200- 500 f/min.)
drum filling, conveyer loading, crusher dusts,
gas discharge (active generation into zone of
rapid air motion)
grinding, abrasive blasting, tumbling, high 2.5- 10 m/s (500- 2000 f/min.)
speed wheel generated dusts (released at high
initial velocity into zone of very high rapid
air motion).
Within each range the appropriate value depends on:

Simple theory shows that air velocity falls rapidly with distance away from the opening
of a simple extraction pipe. Velocity generally decreases with the square of distance
from the extraction point (in simple cases). Therefore the air speed at the extraction
point should be adjusted, accordingly, after reference to distance from the contaminating
source. The air velocity at the extraction fan, for example, should be a minimum of 1-2
m/s (200-400 f/min) for extraction of solvents generated in a tank 2 meters distant from
the extraction point. Other mechanical considerations, producing performance deficits
within the extraction apparatus, make it essential that theoretical air velocities are
multiplied by factors of 10 or more when extraction systems are installed or used.

Section 11 - TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS
ACUTE HEALTH EFFECTS
SWALLOWED
Accidental ingestion of the material may be harmful; animal experiments indicate that
ingestion of less than 150 gram may be fatal or may produce serious damage to the health
of the individual.
Ingestion of soluble barium compounds may result in ulceration of the mucous membranes of
the gastrointestinal tract, tightness in the muscles of the face and neck,
gastroenteritis, vomiting, diarrhoea, muscular tremors and paralysis, anxiety, weakness,
laboured breathing, cardiac irregularity due to contractions of smooth striated and
cardiac muscles (often violent and painful), slow irregular pulse, hypertension,
convulsions and respiratory failure.
EYE
Although the material is not thought to be an irritant (as classified by EC Directives),
direct contact with the eye may cause transient discomfort characterised by tearing or
conjunctival redness (as with windburn). Slight abrasive damage may also result. The
material may produce foreign body irritation in certain individuals.
SKIN
Skin contact is not thought to produce harmful health effects (as classified under EC
Directives using animal models). Systemic harm, however, has been identified following
exposure of animals by at least one other route and the material may still produce health
damage following entry through wounds, lesions or abrasions. Good hygiene practice
requires that exposure be kept to a minimum and that suitable gloves be used in an
occupational setting.
Entry into the blood-stream, through, for example, cuts, abrasions or lesions, may
produce systemic injury with harmful effects. Examine the skin prior to the use of the
material and ensure that any external damage is suitably protected.
INHALED
Inhalation of dusts, generated by the material, during the course of normal
handling, may be harmful.
There is some evidence to suggest that the material can cause respiratory irritation in
some persons. The body's response to such irritation can cause further lung damage.
Barium fumes are respiratory irritants. Over-exposure to barium dusts and fume may result
in rhinitis, frontal headache, wheezing, laryngeal spasm, salivation and anorexia. Long
term effects include nervous disorders and adverse effects on the heart, circulatory
system and musculature. Heavy exposures may result in a benign pneumoconiosis.
CHRONIC HEALTH EFFECTS
Barium compounds may cause high blood pressure, airway irritation and damage the liver,
spleen and bone marrow. Prolonged exposure may cause a lung inflammation and scarring.
Symptoms of this include a worsening dry cough, shortness of breath on exertion,
increased chest expansion and weakness. Stringy phlegm in the cough appears later, with
more difficulty in breathing and a further loss of lung capacity. Barium sulfate does not
cause permanent scarring of the lungs.
Long term exposure to high dust concentrations may cause changes in lung function i.e.
pneumoconiosis; caused by particles less than 0.5 micron penetrating and remaining in the
lung. Prime symptom is breathlessness; lung shadows show on X-ray.
Substance accumulation, in the human body, may occur and may cause some concern following
repeated or long-term occupational exposure.
