It is not intended to be a comprehensive treatise on the chemical or toxicological nature of barium. In Section 6, Major Conclusions in the Characterization of Hazard and Dose Response, EPA has characterized its overall confidence in the quantitative and qualitative aspects of hazard and dose response by addressing knowledge gaps, uncertainties, quality of data, and scientific controversies. The discussion is intended to convey the limitations of the assessment and to aid and guide the risk assessor in the ensuing steps of the risk assessment process. For other general information about this review or other questions relating to IRIS, the reader is referred to EPA’s Risk Information Hotline at 202-566-1676. vi AUTHORS, CONTRIBUTORS, AND REVIEWERS CHEMICAL MANAGERS/AUTHORS1 Stiven Foster, M.S.

BARIUM AND BARIUM COMPOUNDS iii UPDATE STATEMENT A Toxicological Profile for Barium and Barium Compounds, Draft for Public Comment was released in September 2005. This edition supersedes any previously released draft or final profile. Toxicological profiles are revised and republished as necessary. For information regarding the update status of previously released profiles, contact ATSDR at: Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry Division of Toxicology and Environmental Medicine/Applied Toxicology Branch 1600 Clifton Road NE Mailstop F-32 Atlanta, Georgia 30333 BARIUM AND BARIUM COMPOUNDS iv This page is intentionally blank. v FOREWORD This toxicological profile is prepared in accordance with guidelines developed by the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The original guidelines were published in the Federal Register on April 17, 1987. Each profile will be revised and republished as necessary. The ATSDR toxicological profile succinctly characterizes the toxicologic and adverse health effects information for the hazardous substance described therein. Each peer-reviewed profile identifies and reviews the key literature that describes a hazardous substance's toxicologic properties. Other pertinent literature is also presented, but is described in less detail than the key studies. The profile is not intended to be an exhaustive document; however, more comprehensive sources of specialty information are referenced.

  • Toxicological Profile for Barium and Barium
    BARIUM AND BARIUM COMPOUNDS 1 1. PUBLIC HEALTH STATEMENT This public health statement tells you about barium and barium compounds and the effects of exposure to these chemicals. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) identifies the most serious hazardous waste sites in the nation. These sites are then placed on the National Priorities List (NPL) and are targeted for long-term federal clean-up activities. Barium and barium compounds have been found in at least 798 of the 1,684 current or former NPL sites; however, the total number of NPL sites evaluated for these substances is not known. This information is important because these sites may be sources of exposure and exposure to this substance may harm you. When a substance is released either from a large area, such as an industrial plant, or from a container, such as a drum or bottle, it enters the environment. Such a release does not always lead to exposure. You can be exposed to a substance only when you come in contact with it. You may be exposed by breathing, eating, or drinking the substance, or by skin contact. If you are exposed to barium and barium compounds, many factors will determine whether you will be harmed. These factors include the dose (how much), the duration (how long), and how you come in contact with them. You must also consider any other chemicals you are exposed to and your age, sex, diet, family traits, lifestyle, and state of health. 1.1 WHAT IS BARIUM? Barium is a silvery-white metal that takes on a silver-yellow color when exposed to air.

At 773 K, Ba(NO3)2 barely decomposed to its oxide and the weight loss corresponds to only 4 %. However, when the temperature was increased to 873 K, a weight loss of 43% is observed, which was close to the theoretical loss of 41% for the decomposition of Ba(NO3)2 to its oxide (BaO). Thus a calcination temperature of 873 K was chosen for the thermal decomposition of impregnated Ba(NO3)2 particles to BaO in the sintered NiO/YSZ anodes. Supplementary Fig. S1.

The mor- phology of the produced nanofibers was observed before and after heat treatment by scanning electron microscope. The crystal structure of the nanofibers was examined by X-ray diffraction. In addition, thermal analysis/thermal gravimetric analysis of nanofibers was performed. X-ray diffraction measurements showed that the samples were crystalline in barium titanate. It was observed that the diameters of the nanofibers increased when the flow rate and time increased, while the diameters of the nanofibers decreased when the flow rate and time decreased. Scanning electron microscope images showed how the morphology of the samples changed by heat treatment. As a result, characterization results were found to be consistent with the literature.
