Safety Information:

• Handling: While barium sulfate is considered non-toxic due to its insolubility and non-absorption in the gastrointestinal tract, inhalation of dust should be avoided as it may cause mechanical irritation to the respiratory tract.

• Storage: Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible substances. Keep container tightly closed to prevent moisture absorption and contamination.
