SECTION 11. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Information on toxicological effects
Acute toxicity:
Harmful if inhaled.
Harmful if swallowed.

Skin irritation or corrosion: Irritant to skin and mucous membranes.
Eye irritation or corrosion: Irritating effect.
Sensitization: No sensitizing effects known.
Germ cell mutagenicity: No effects known.
Carcinogenicity:
EPA-D: Not classifiable as to human carcinogenicity: inadequate human and animal evidence ofcarcinogenicity or no data are available.
ACGIH A4: Not classifiable as a human carcinogen: Inadequate data on which to classify the agent in
terms of its carcinogenicity in humans and/or animals.
Reproductive toxicity: No effects known.
Specific target organ system toxicity - repeated exposure: No effects known.
Specific target organ system toxicity - single exposure: No effects known.
Aspiration hazard: No effects known.
Subacute to chronic toxicity:
Barium compounds may cause severe gastroenteritis, including abdominal pain, vomiting and
diarrhea, tremors, faintness, paralysis of the arms and legs, and slow
or irregular heartbeat. Severe cases may produce collapse and death due to respiratory failure.
Soluble barium compounds are more likely to cause these effects
than insoluble compounds. Inhalation of fumes may cause sore throat, coughing, labored breathing,
and irritation of the respiratory tract as well as the above
symptoms.
Inhalation of zirconium and zirconium compounds may cause pulmonary granulomas.
Subacute to chronic toxicity:
The Registry of Toxic Effects of Chemical Substances (RTECS) reports the following effects in
laboratory animals:
Nutritional and Gross Metabolic - weight loss or decreased weight gain.
Lungs, Thorax, or Respiration - changes in pulmonary vascular resistance.
Lungs, Thorax, or Respiration - fibrosis, focal (pneumoconiosis).
Lungs, Thorax, or Respiration - pleural thickening
Additional toxicological information: To the best of our knowledge the acute and chronic toxicity of this
substance is not fully known.
