Documented Uses

• Used in the manufacture of other iodides; [Merck Index]
• 1 to 15 grams for an adult human (barium salts). (T48)
• Barium compounds are absorbed via ingestion and inhalation, the extent of which depends on the individual compound. In the body, the majority of the barium is found in the bone, while small amounts exists in the muscle, adipose, skin, and connective tissue. Barium is not metabolized in the body, but it may be transported or incorporated into complexes or tissues. Barium is excreted in the urine and faeces. (L214)
