Are barite and barium sulfate poisonous? Are they harmful to the body?

Answer:

Hello, most enterprises will value some indexes of heavy metals such as Hg, As, etc., because of the impact on the environment, so in the process of trade, will limit the content range; radiation intensity at home and abroad have certain requirements, if the test result does not exceed the standard, should not have a big impact
The main component of barite is barium sulfate, and barium sulfate has radiation protection
General enterprises will pay attention to heavy metals, heavy metals exceeded, there will be some impact on the environment, etc., so the content of heavy metals need to be controlled; if the level of radioactivity is not exceeded, there will be no harm.
