2. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION |
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW DANGER! MAY BE FATAL IF SWALLOWED. HARMFUL IF INHALED. MAY CAUSE IRRITATION TO SKIN, EYES, AND RESPIRATORY TRACT. AFFECTS MUSCLES (INCLUDING THE HEART), AND CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM. |
Potential Health Effects: |
|
Skin: |
May cause irritation with redness and pain. |
Eye: |
May cause irritation with redness and pain. |
Inhalation: |
May cause irritation of the respiratory tract. Excessive exposures may produce lung damage. |
Ingestion: |
May cause excessive salivation, severe abdominal pain, vomiting, violent diarrhea, muscle twitching progressing to muscular paralysis, gastroenteritis and increased blood pressure. Serious cases may result in convulsions and death. |
Chronic: |
Long term inhalation of dust may lead to deposition in lungs in sufficient quantities to produce baritosis - a benign pneumoconiosis. This produces a radiological picture. Symptoms and abnormal signs may not be present. |

4. FIRST AID MEASURES |
Eye Contact: |
Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids. Get medical aid imme diately. |
Skin Contact: |
Immediately flush skin with plenty of soap and water for at least 15 minutes. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Wash clothing before reuse. Thoroughly clean shoes before reuse. Get medical attention if irritation develops. |
Inhalation: |
Remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical attention immediately and contact a poison control center. |
Ingestion: |
Induce vomiting immediately as directed by medical personnel. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Get medical aid immediately. |
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. |
Fire: |
Not considered to be a fire hazard. |
Explosion: |
Not considered to be an explosion hazard. |
Fire Extinguishing Media: r |
Use any means suitable for extinguishing surrounding fire. |
NFPA 704: |
NFPA Rating:
|
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES |
General information: |
Use proper personal protective equipment as listed in section 8. |
Environmental Precautions: |
Do not discharge onto the ground or into water courses. |
Spill Cleanup Measures: |
Pick up and place in a suitable container for reclamation or disposal, using a method that does not generate dust. |
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE |
Handling: |
Wash thoroughly after handling. Remove contaminated clothing and wash before reuse. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing. Keep container tightly closed. Avoid ingestion and inhalation. Use with adequate ventilation. |
Storage: |
Store in a tightly closed container. Store in a cool, dry area away from incompatible substances. |
8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION |
Engineering Controls: |
Use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to keep airborne levels below recommended exposure limits. If user operations generate dust, fume or mist, use ventilation to keep exposure to airborne contaminants below the exposure limit. |
Exposure Limits |
TWA: 0.5 (mg(Ba)/m) from ACGIH (TLV) [United States] Consult local authorities for acceptable exposure limits. |
Personal Protective Equipment |
|
Ventilation System:
|
A system of local and/or general exhaust is recommended to keep employee exposures as low as possible. Local exhaust ventilation is generally preferred because it can control the emissions of the contaminant at its source, preventing dispersion of it into the general work area. Please refer to the ACGIH document, Industrial Ventilation, A Manual of Recommended Practices, most recent edition, for details. |
Personal Respirators (NIOSH Approved): |
A respiratory protection program that meets OSHA's 29 CFR 1910.134 and ANSI Z88.2 requirements or European Standard EN 149 must be followed whenever workplace conditions warrant respirator use. |
Skin Protection: |
Wear protective gloves and clean body-covering clothing. |
Eye Protection:
|
Use chemical safety goggles and/or full face shield where dusting or splashing of solutions is possible. Maintain eye wash fountain and quick-drench facilities in work area. |
Other Control Measures:
|
Maintain good housekeeping in work area. Dust deposits on floors and other surfaces may pick up moisture and cause the surfaces to become slippery and present safety hazards. |
