Barium in water (Ba+2) is a result of naturally occurring alkaline earth metal found primarily in the Midwest parts of the United States. Traces of Barium are found in surface and ground water. Barium in water can also be found in oil and gas drilling muds, waste from coal-fired power plants, jet fuels, and automotive paints. Barium in drinking water is highly toxic when its soluble salts are ingested. The current MCL for levels of Barium in tap water is 2.0 mg/l.
Barium Water Treatment - Sodium form cation exchange units (water softeners) are very effective at removing Barium from tap and drinking water. Reverse Osmosis (RO Systems) is also extremely effective in its removal, as well as Electrodialysis systems.
