The average concentration of barium in USA drinking water is 28.6 ug/l (1977 data). The drinking water of many communities in Illinois, Kentucky, Pennsylvania, & New Mexico contains concentrations of barium that may be 10 times higher than the drinking water standard. The source of these supplies is usually well water.

1. Introduction. Barium is widely used in various industrial sectors [1], which has augmented its concentration levels in water compartments.Barium is considered a non-essential element in human nutrition [2].The symptoms of barium contamination are nausea, abdominal pain, vomiting and dysentery [3].. The World Health Organization …
The factors affecting optical gain were studied for Er-doped BaTiO 3 thin film waveguides. Er-doped BaTiO 3 with dopant concentrations of 0.3 – 9 at.% was deposited by metal-organic chemical vapor deposition. The luminescence efficiency was maximized by optimizing the growth temperature and erbium concentration as well as by post …

Transparent conductive multilayer thin films of silver (Ag)-embedded barium stannate (BaSnO3) structures have been deposited onto flexible polycarbonate substrates by magnetron sputtering at room ...
Ultrathin films of barium oxide were grown on Ag(001) and Ag(111) using the evaporation of Ba metal in an O 2 atmosphere by molecular beam epitaxy. Ultraviolet photoemission spectroscopy reveals that films consisting of predominantly BaO or BaO 2 result in Ag(001) work function reductions of 1.74 eV and 0.64 eV, respectively. On the …
The relatively widespread presence of environmental barium is raising a growing public awareness as it can lead to different health conditions. Its presence in humans may produce several effects, especially among those chronically exposed from low to moderate doses. Barium accumulation can mainly occur by exposure in the …
Barium Page1 of 1 Barium tests explained Introduction Although barium is relatively abundant in nature, usually only trace amounts are found in water. Barium …
Table 2 summarizes the ceramic properties of barium stannate doped with various acceptor impurities obtained by this synthesis route. For instance, the La 3+ substituted BaSnO 3 compositions (Ba 1–x La x SnO 3–δ) having relative densities of 60–70 % were obtained during sintering at 1300 °C for 10 h with a preliminary synthesis …
Fig. 3 displays the XPS spectrum of the BST/Si-NPA film sample annealed at 700 °C for 1 h, where the detected elements on the surface of BST/Si-NPA film are Ba, Sr, Ti and O only, suggesting that the film is probably composed of barium strontium titanate. The absence of Si in the components of the BST/Si-NPA film indicates that the …
The effect of the substitution of barium by calcium on structural, optical and luminescence properties of spray deposited barium tin oxide films was studied in this work, as a function of the calcium-based solution volume ratio RCa. According to X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns, the substitution of barium by calcium induced an indirect phase …

The effect of sintering schedule on thin film crystallization was studied by GIXRD. Fig. 1 presents the XRD patterns of BZY thin films sintered at 600–800 °C for various time periods with RTP. The film sintered at 600 °C only exhibited a broad (110) peak, indicating that an amorphous state was formed.The polycrystalline BZY phase …
We mentioned that barium sulfate is used in medical imaging of the gastrointestinal tract. Its solubility product is 1.08 × 10 −10 at 25°C, so it is ideally suited for this purpose because of its low solubility when a "barium milkshake" is consumed by a patient. The pathway of the sparingly soluble salt can be easily monitored by x-rays.
The primary purpose of this chapter is to provide public health officials, physicians, toxicologists, and other interested individuals and groups with an overall perspective on the toxicology of barium. It contains descriptions and evaluations of toxicological studies and …
If the sulfate concentration in the water is high, then the precipitation of barium as a sulfate salt reduces its potential for adverse health effects. Those barium compounds that …
First, we assumed a linear concentration gradient between the upper most data point (usually 0.25 cm depth) and bottom water so that (1) Flux=-φD s (∂C/∂z) z=0 where φ is the average porosity of the upper most interval (Table 3), and C is the barium concentration at depth z. For this approach, we have assigned an uncertainty of ±30% …
