Presence of oxygen (O{sub 2}) has been found by Energy Dispersive X-ray Analysis (EDAX) on the surfaces of flux grown BaFe{sub 2}As{sub 2} single crystals which were kept in air ambience for several months. Transport studies show that the O{sub 2} adsorbed crystals are more resistive and do not display any sharp slope change near 140 K which is the well known Spin Density Wave (SDW) transition temperature (T{sub SDW}) accompanying structural transition for as grown BaFe{sub 2}As{sub 2}. An anomalous slope change in resistivity is observed around 18 K at 0 and 5T. Magnetoresistance (MR) is noticed to increase as a function of applied field (H) quite differently than that for as grown crystals below T{sub SDW} which may be attributed to aging effect.
