EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
The toxicological properties of this material have not been fully
investigated.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
May cause eye irritation. The toxicological properties of this
material have not been fully investigated.
Skin:
May cause skin irritation. The toxicological properties of this
material have not been fully investigated.
Ingestion:
May cause gastrointestinal irritation with nausea, vomiting and
diarrhea. The toxicological properties of this substance have not
been fully investigated. Large doses of lithium may cause dizziness,
prostration, and kidney damage. Dehydration, weight loss, slurred
speech, blurred vision, sensory loss, ataxia (failure of muscular
coordination), tremors, and convulsions may occur.
Inhalation:

abnormalities, weakness, ringing in the ears, and muscle tremors.
**** SECTION 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES ****
Eyes:
Flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes,
occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids. Get medical aid.
Skin:
Flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes while

breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult,
give oxygen. Get medical aid.
Notes to Physician:
**** SECTION 5 - FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES ****
General Information:
As in any fire, wear a self-contained breathing apparatus in
pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent), and full
protective gear.
Extinguishing Media:
Use water spray, dry chemical, carbon dioxide, or chemical foam. Use
agent most appropriate to extinguish fire.
**** SECTION 6 - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES ****
General Information: Use proper personal protective equipment as indicated
in Section 8.
Spills/Leaks:
Clean up spills immediately, observing precautions in the Protective
Equipment section. Sweep up or absorb material, then place into a
