Inorganic compounds containing oxygen and classified as powerful oxidants according to ICSC (2004). Classified as "Division 5.1: oxidizing substances" by the UN Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods. However, it can be included in Category 2 or 3, given the fact that it has subsidiary risks corresponding to Division 6.1 and is assigned to Packing Group II (UN#1446). The substance is placed in Category 2 from the viewpoint of safety. |

Based on the rat LD50 (oral route) value of 355mg/kg (EHC 107 (1990)). |
| 1 | Acute toxicity （Dermal） | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available |
| 1 | Acute toxicity （Inhalation: Gases） | Not applicable | - | - | - | - | Due to the fact that the substance is "solid" according to the GHS definition and inhalation of its gas is not expected. |
| 1 | Acute toxicity （Inhalation: Vapours） | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available |
| 1 | Acute toxicity （Inhalation: Dusts and mists） | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available |
| 2 | Skin corrosion/irritation | Category 3 | - | Warning | H316: Causes mild skin irritation | P332+P313: If skin irritation occurs: Get medical advice/attention. | Based on the evidence of "mild irritation" from rabbit skin irritation tests (though the only available results are those of 24 hour application). |
| 3 | Serious eye damage/eye irritation | Category 2A |
|
Warning | H319: Causes serious eye irritation |
P305+P351+P338: IF IN EYES: Rinse cautiously with water for several minutes. Remove contact lenses, if present and easy to do. Continue rinsing. P337+P313: If eye irritation persists: Get medical advice/attention. P264: Wash ... thoroughly after handling. P280: Wear protective gloves/protective clothing/eye protection/face protection. |
The substance is classified into Category 2A as available eye irritation studies in rabbits provide no description of corrosivity, though they provide the evidence of "severe irritation." |
| 4 | Respiratory sensitization | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available |
| 4 | Skin sensitization | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available |

Based on the human evidence: "Intentional or accidental ingestion of barium compounds causes gastroenteritis (vomiting, diarrhoea, abdominal pain), hypokalemia, cardiac arrhythmias and skeletal muscle paralysis" (CICAD 33 (2001)), "irritates the eye, skin, respiratory tract; may cause hypokalemia; may cause heart/muscle disorder; may lead to death" (ICSC (J) (2004)), "clinical symptoms included spastic sural pain, hyperalgesia, decreased light reaction, loss of toe reflex, generalized intermittent vellication; the sinus rhythm was interrupted by ventricular extrasystole" (IUCLID (2000)), "paresthesia, weakness" (RTECS (2006)). Also based on the evidence from animal studies including "paresis of the hind limbs accompanied by convulsion" (IUCLID (2000)), "somnolency, tetany" (RTECS (2006)). The effects on experimental animals were observed at dosing levels within the guidance value ranges for Category 2. The priority rating of some studies used for the survey of "epidemiological findings/occupational exposure (human health effects)" is 2, and the effects are classified into Category 1 (cardiovascular system, muscle), Category 2 (nervous system, kidneys) and Category 3 (respiratory tract irritation, narcotic effects). |
| 9 | Specific target organ toxicity - Repeated exposure | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available |
| 10 | Aspiration hazard | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available |
| Hazard class | Classification | Symbol | Signal word | Hazard statement | Precautionary statement | Rationale for the classification | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 11 | Hazardous to the aquatic environment （Acute） | Not classified | - | - | - | - | It was classified into Not classified from 96 hours LC50=ca.1900mg/L of the fish (Gasterosteus Aculeatus) (IUCLID, 2000). |
| 11 | Hazardous to the aquatic environment （Long-term） | Not classified | - | - | - | - | Since it was not water-insolubility (the water-solubility =87000mg/L (HSDB, 2004)), and acute toxicity was low, it was classified into Not classified. |
