Barium imadziwika kuti imakhala yoopsa, koma barfaute yake ya corpaund imatha kukhala ngati wothandizirana ndi woyenera kuchita izi. Yatsimikiziridwa kuti ma barium a ma andir a micher amchere ndi calcium ndi potaziyamu, akuyambitsa mavuto monga kufooka kwa minofu, osakhazikika mtima komanso kupweteka. Ichi ndichifukwa chake anthu ambiri amaganiza kuti ma barium ndi chinthu chodziwika bwino, ndipo anthu ambiri pa barbolite amangongokhalabe ngati poizoni wamphamvu.
Komabe,bar Carbonateimapangitsa kusungunuka kochepa komwe sikungachepetse. Barbium carbonate ndi sing'anga yopanda thupi ndipo imatha kumeza kwambiri m'mimba ndi matumbo. Imagwira ntchito yofunika kwambiri m'maphunziro am'mimba monga momwe wothandizira aliyense. Sindikudziwa ngati mwawerenga nkhani imodzi. Nkhaniyi ikunena za momwe barium idachitikira mfiti ndi alchemists kumayambiriro kwa zaka za m'ma 1700. Wasayansi Giulio KIulio Konare Lagalla, yemwe adawona mwala, adakayikira. Mosadabwitsa, komwe zinafotokozerako za izi zinafotokozedwera mpaka chaka chatha (zisanachitike, zidapangidwa molakwika ndi mwala wina wapadera).
Corrium ndi phindu lililonse m'madera ena ambiri, monga othandizira olemera kupanga mabowo omwe amagwiritsidwa ntchito ndi zitsime zambiri. Izi zikugwirizana ndi chinthu cha dzina la dzina la 56: Barys amatanthauza "kulemera" lachi Greek. Komabe, ilinso ndi chithunzi cha mbiri yakale: Barium chloride ndi nitrite amagwiritsidwa ntchito poigwiritsa ntchito zozizwitsa zobiriwira zobiriwira, ndipo barum dihydroxide imagwiritsidwa ntchito kubwezeretsa zojambulajambula.
