Section VI. Health Hazard Data
Permissible Exposure Limit (PEL) for barium sulfate: Total Dust - 15 mg/m3 Time Weighted Average (TWA), Respirable dust - 5 mg/m3 TWA. Dust exposure is not a concern since products are liquids. Threshold Limit Value (TLV) for barium sulfate: Total Dust: 10 mg/m3 TWA, Silica - quartz, respirable dust - 0.1 mg/m3. Dust exposure is not a concern since products are liquids. Short-Term Exposure Limit (STEL): Not established Routes of Exposure: Inhalation (dust exposure is not a concern since these products are liquids), Ingestion Health Hazards (acute and chronic): Through normal routes of entry, not expected to be a hazard. In some cases where skin and eye contact occurs, product may cause irritation. No adverse health effects expected from chronic exposure. Effects of exposure: May cause constipation. Products contain xylitol, which may cause a laxative effect in some individuals. Consult label for more information. Medical conditions generally aggravated by exposure: No information found relating to normal routes of exposure. Emergency and First Aid procedures:
Eye contact - Flush with water for at least 15 minutes.
Skin contact - wash area thoroughly with soap and water.
If ingested and person is conscious - give several glasses of water to dilute. If irritation persists or large quantities are ingested, get medical attention.
