**** SECTION 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION ****
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Harmful if swallowed. Causes severe burns.Corrosive.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
Causes eye burns. May cause irreversible eye injury. Contact may
cause ulceration of the conjunctiva and cornea.
Skin:
Causes skin burns. May cause deep, penetrating ulcers of the skin.
Ingestion:
Causes gastrointestinal tract burns. 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. May be harmful if swallowed. Ingestion may produce severe
abdominal pain, corrosion of the lips, mouth, tongue, and pharynx,
and the vomiting of large pieces of mucosa.
Inhalation:
May cause irritation of the respiratory tract with burning pain in
the nose and throat, coughing, wheezing, shortness of breath and
pulmonary edema. May cause severe irritation of the respiratory
tract with possible burns. May cause burning sensation, coughing,
wheezing, laryngitis, shortness of breath, headache, nausea, and
vomiting.
Chronic:
Chronic inhalation and ingestion may cause effects similar to those
of acute inhalation and ingestion.
**** SECTION 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES ****
Eyes:
In case of contact, immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for
at least 15 minutes. Get medical aid immediately.
Skin:
In case of contact, immediately flush skin with plenty of water for
at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes.
Get medical aid immediately. Wash clothing before reuse.
Ingestion:
If swallowed, do NOT induce vomiting. Get medical aid immediately.
If victim is fully conscious, give a cupful of water. Never give
anything by mouth to an unconscious person.
Inhalation:
If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not 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. Use water spray to keep fire-exposed containers
cool. Contact with metals may evolve flammable hydrogen gas.
Extinguishing Media:
Use extinguishing media most appropriate for the surrounding fire.
**** SECTION 6 - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES ****
General Information: Use proper personal protective equipment as indicated
in Section 8.
Spills/Leaks:
Absorb spill with inert material (e.g. vermiculite, sand or earth),
then place in suitable container. Avoid runoff into storm sewers and
ditches which lead to waterways. Clean up spills immediately,
observing precautions in the Protective Equipment section. Provide
ventilation.
**** SECTION 7 - HANDLING and STORAGE ****
Handling:
Wash thoroughly after handling. Remove contaminated clothing and
wash before reuse. Use only in a well-ventilated area. Do not get in
eyes, on skin, or on clothing. Keep container tightly closed. Do not
ingest or inhale.
Storage:
Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible
substances. Keep away from metals. Corrosives area. Keep away from
acids.
**** SECTION 8 - EXPOSURE CONTROLS, PERSONAL PROTECTION ****
Engineering Controls:
Facilities storing or utilizing this material should be equipped
with an eyewash facility and a safety shower. Use adequate general or
local exhaust ventilation to keep airborne concentrations below the
permissible exposure limits.
