Barium fluoride is generally in the form of white powder or colorless and transparent crystal, and can be used as a preservative. It is generally used in metal heat treatment, ceramics, glass manufacturing, etc. When decomposed by high heat, it will release toxic fumes, which have a strong irritating effect on eyes, skin and mucous membranes. If exposed to too much, symptoms such as nausea, difficulty breathing, fever, and increased salivation may occur. Long-term exposure to this toxic substance can cause calcification in bones, ligaments, and tendons.

 The toxic fumes released when barium fluoride is decomposed by high heat is so harmful to the human body. How should we protect ourselves?

1. Respiratory system protection: When coming into contact with these toxic fumes, we need to wear gas masks. If it is in an environment with high concentrations of barium fluoride toxic fumes, it is recommended that you wear gas masks to protect yourself to the greatest extent.
