9.2 Other information

Particle size distribution:
Barium carbonate standard: MMAD 24.22 m GSD 4.87 m
Barium carbonate standard: D50 2.32 m (Laser diffraction)
Barium carbonate fine powder: MMAD 39.93 m GSD 2.28 m
Barium carbonate fine powder: D50 14.6 m (Laser diffraction)
The reason of the high D50 value of barium carbonate fine powder in relation to the
standard powder of barium carbonate is (i) that the measurement was performed
without previous suspension in a solvent (ii) and the substance agglomerates.

technically feasible nor scientifically relevant for this type
of compound.

Respiratory sensitisation:
not sensitising
Based on an industry survey, during long-year industrial
practice no cases of hypersensitivity were observed till now
by workers exposed exclusively to bariumcarbonate. Thus,
no classification as respiratory sensitizer according to
regulation (EC) 1272/2008 is required.

derived for effect on fertility.
Fertility impairment in female rats: NOAEL of 179.5 mg

barium carbonate/kg bw/day
Fertility impairment in male rats: NOAEL of 201.5 mg

Based on the available data, the classification criteria for
STOT-single exposure are not met.
Oral
The classification criteria according to regulation (EC)
1272/2008 as specific target organ toxicant (STOT) single
exposure, oral are not met since no reversible or
irreversible adverse health effects were observed
immediately or delayed after exposure
Inhalation
The performance of an acute inhalation toxicity test is
neither technically feasible nor scientifically relevant for
this type of compound. The test material can safely be
assumed to have a very low potential for human inhalation
hazard during handling or application. No effects are
expected at the guidance value, inhalation for a Category 1
classification of 1 mg/L/4h and at the guidance value,
oral for a Category 2 5 mg/L/4h - > 1 mg/L/4h.

Conclusion on the environmental classification and labelling:
The acute reference value (ARV) for BaCO3 is 20.8 mg/L, based on the ARV for Ba (i.e.,
14.5 mg Ba/L). This acute reference value exceeds solubility of the compound.
Therefore there is no acute classification for this compound. The chronic reference
value is 4.17 mg BaCO3/L, i.e., > 1 mg/L, and therefore no chronic classification is
required. Additionally , there is no evidence for bioaccumulation or biomagnification
in the environment (see section 12.3) Consequently, BaCO 3 has no environmental
classification.
12.2 Persistence and degradability
Abiotic degradation and biodegradation are not relevant for elemental, inorganic
substances like BaCO3.
12.3 Bioaccumulative potential
Aquatic compartment
Absence of bioaccumulative potential:
BCF for fish: 37.6 99 L/ kg wet weight

12.3.1 Secondary poisoning

Based on the available information there is no indication of a bioaccumulation
potential, hence, secondary poisoning is not considered relevant.
12.4. Mobility in soil
Taking in account the relative low KD value for barium, the barium ions release by
barium carbonate are leachable through normal soil and are mobile in sediment. The
following typical log KD-values have been determined for different environmental
compartments:
