Ikintu barium kizwiho kuba gifite uburozi, ariko ibiyigize sulfate yacyo irashobora gukora nkibintu bitandukanye kuri scan.Byaragaragaye mubuvuzi ko ion ya barium mumunyu ibangamira calcium yumubiri na potasiyumu metabolisme, bigatera ibibazo nkintege nke zimitsi, guhumeka neza, umutima udasanzwe ndetse no kumugara.Niyo mpamvu abantu benshi batekereza ko barium ari ikintu kizwi, kandi abantu benshi kuri barium karubone bagumaho gusa nkuburozi bwimbeba.
