**** SECTION 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION ****

EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Harmful if swallowed. Irritating to eyes and skin.

Potential Health Effects
Eye:
Causes moderate eye irritation. Causes redness and pain. May
cause visual abnormalities including: blurring, abnormal color
vision, loss of sight.
Skin:
May cause severe irritation and possible burns. Prolonged absorption
may affect electrolyte balance and impair kidney function.
Dehydration, weight loss, skin effects, and thyroid disturbances
have been reported. Repeated or prolonged exposure may cause drying
and cracking of the skin.
Ingestion:
Harmful if swallowed. May cause gastrointestinal irritation with
nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. May cause central nervous system
effects. May cause blood electrolyte disturbances. 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 cause headache, muscle weakness and
incoordination, and confusion.
Inhalation:
May cause severe irritation of the upper respiratory tract with
pain, burns, and inflammation. Symptoms of exposure include:
increased secretions, cough, pain or respiration,
Chronic:
Chronic ingestion may cause dizziness, ringing in the ears, visual
disturbances, tremors, and mental confusion. Prolonged absorption may
affect electrolyte balance and impair kidney function. Dehydration,
weight loss, skin effects, and thyroid disturbances have been
reported. Laboratory experiments have resulted in mutagenic effects.
Possible risk of harm to the unborn child. May impair fertility.

**** SECTION 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES ****

Eyes:
Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes,
occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids. Get medical aid.
Skin:
Get medical aid. Immediately flush skin with plenty of water for at
least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes.
Wash clothing before reuse.
Ingestion:
Do not induce vomiting. If victim is conscious and alert, give 2-4
cupfuls of milk or water. Never give anything by mouth to an
unconscious person. Get medical aid.
Inhalation:
Remove from exposure and move to fresh air immediately. If breathing
is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical aid. Do NOT use mouth-to-mouth
resuscitation. If breathing has ceased apply artificial respiration
using oxygen and a suitable mechanical device such as a bag and a
mask.
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. During a fire, irritating and highly toxic gases
may be generated by thermal decomposition or combustion.
Extinguishing Media:
Substance is noncombustible; use agent most appropriate to
extinguish surrounding 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, then place into a suitable container for
disposal. Avoid generating dusty conditions. Provide ventilation.

**** SECTION 7 - HANDLING and STORAGE ****

Handling:
Wash thoroughly after handling. Remove contaminated clothing and
wash before reuse. Minimize dust generation and accumulation. Keep
container tightly closed. Do not get on skin or in eyes. Do not
ingest or inhale. Use only in a chemical fume hood. Discard
contaminated shoes.
Storage:
Store in a tightly closed container. Store in a cool, dry,
well-ventilated area away from incompatible substances. Store
protected from moisture.

**** 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.
Exposure Limits
CAS# 7447-41-8:

Respirators:
A respiratory protection program that meets OSHA's 29
CFR 1910.134 and ANSI Z88.2 requirements or European
Standard EN 149 must be followed whenever workplace
conditions warrant respirator use.
