Barium Nitrate is the inorganic compound with the chemical formula Ba(NO3)2. It, like most barium salts, is colourless, toxic, and water-soluble. It burns with a green flame and is an oxidiser; the compound is commonly used in pyrotechnics and the vacuum tube industry. Much like other soluble Barium compounds, Barium Nitrate is toxic to ingest or inhale.

What kind of hazards are associated with Barium Nitrate?
Health: 2
Inhaling or coming into contact with the eyes or skin can cause irritation. If ingested, it may lead to excessive salivation, vomiting, colic, diarrhoea, and convulsive tremors. Other symptoms include a slow, hard pulse, elevated blood pressure, and potential haemorrhages in the stomach, intestines, and kidneys. Muscular paralysis may also follow.
Flammability: 0
Special hazards associated with combustion products include the release of toxic nitrogen oxides when the substance burns. In the event of a fire, mixtures with combustible materials can ignite easily and may burn intensely. Additionally, containers are at risk of exploding. Store in a cool, dry place with ventilation and away from any combustibles.
Reactivity: 2
Mixing metal nitrates with alkyl esters can lead to explosions due to the formation of alkyl nitrates. Similarly, combining nitrates with phosphorus, tin(II) chloride, or other reducing agents can result in explosive reactions.
