The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has a legally enforceable occupational exposure limit of 0.5 milligrams (mg) of soluble barium compounds per cubic meter (nr) of air averaged over an 8-hour work day. The OSHA 8-hour exposure limit for barium dust in air is 5-10 mg/m3. The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) has classified barium exposures of 250 mg/m3as immediately dangerous to life or health. 

Sir John Warcup Corn-forth (1917- ) was bom in Sydney, Australia, and earned his Ph.D. from Oxford University in 1941 working with Sir Robert Robinson. He was on the staff of the National Institute for Medical Research in London from 1946 to 1962, at Shell Research Ltd. (1962-1975), and ultimately at Sussex University (1975-1982). Completely deaf for most of his life, he worked in constant collaboration with his wife, Rita Hat -radence. He received the 1975 Nobel Prize in chemistiy. 

The ACGIH threshold limit value, 8 h time-weighted average (TWA) is 1.0mgm (as the metal and insoluble compounds), and the US National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) recommended exposure level, averaged over a 10 h work day is 0.1 mg m. NlOSH s immediately dangerous to life or health value is 100.0 mg m (as the metal fume and insoluble compounds). 

Element 110 - no name has been proposed or accepted by lUPAC for element 110. This element was first synthesized in a November 1994 experiment by a multi-national team of scientists working at the Gesellschaft fur Schwerionenforschung (GSI) in Darmstadt, Germany. The scientific teams were from the GSI (Heavy Ion Research Center), Darmstadt, the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research (JINR), Dubna, Russia, Comenius University, Bratislava, Slovakia and the University of Jyvaskyla, Finland. They used the nuclear reaction ° Pb ( Ni, n) 110. The longest half-life associated vdth this unstable element is 1.1 minute 10.
