Barium is a slightly shiny silver metal material, and only soluble barium salts can cause acute poisoning. Barium and chemical substances can enter the body through the respiratory system, digestive system and damaged skin, and can also be taken through the veins until death. Barium is mainly excreted through feces and urine. The barium in the pregnant mother can enter the fetus and infant's body through the placental barrier and milk. Barium ions can cause excessive stimulating and exciting effects on striated muscle, sarcoplasmic reticulum and heart, eventually causing numbness; barium changes the permeability of cytoplasm, causing hypokalemia. Liquid soluble barium substances can be absorbed through injured skin, and absorption may cause poisoning.
