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

EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Harmful if swallowed.Hygroscopic (absorbs moisture from the air).

Potential Health Effects
Eye:
Causes eye irritation and possible burns.
Skin:
Chronic ingestion may cause dizziness, ringing in the ears, visual
disturbances, tremors, and mental confusion. Exposure to bromides may
cause rashes, especially of the face (resembling acne) and boils.
Anhydrous lithium bromide is extremely hygroscopic and contact with
tissue can produce a dehydrating action resulting in localized burns.
Ingestion:
May cause central nervous system depression. May cause disturbed
blood electrolyte balance. Causes gastrointestinal tract irritation.
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. May produce
depression, emaciation with severe cases resulting in pyschosis and
mental deterioration.
Inhalation:
May cause severe irritation of the upper respiratory tract with
pain, burns, and inflammation.
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. Chronic exposure may cause kidney damage.

**** 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
immediately.
Skin:
Get medical aid immediately. 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 immediately.
Inhalation:
Get medical aid immediately. Remove from exposure and move to fresh
air immediately. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. 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:
Treat symptomatically and supportively.

**** 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. This
material in sufficient quantity and reduced particle size is capable
of creating a dust explosion.
Extinguishing Media:
Use extinguishing media most appropriate for the surrounding fire.
Cool containers with flooding quantities of water until well after
fire is out. Use water spray, dry chemical, carbon dioxide, or
appropriate foam.

**** SECTION 6 - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES ****

General Information: Use proper personal protective equipment as indicated
in Section 8.
Spills/Leaks:
Vacuum or sweep up material and place into a suitable disposal
container. Clean up spills immediately, observing precautions in the
Protective Equipment section. Avoid generating dusty conditions.
Provide ventilation.

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

Handling:
Wash thoroughly after handling. Wash hands before eating. Remove
contaminated clothing and wash before reuse. Use only in a
well-ventilated area. Minimize dust generation and accumulation. Do
not breathe dust, vapor, mist, or gas. Do not get in eyes, on skin,
or on clothing. Keep container tightly closed. Do not ingest or
inhale.
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
ventilation to keep airborne concentrations low.
Exposure Limits
CAS# 7550-35-8:


Personal Protective Equipment

Eyes:
Wear appropriate protective eyeglasses or chemical
safety goggles as described by OSHA's eye and face
protection regulations in 29 CFR 1910.133 or European
Standard EN166.
Skin:
Wear appropriate protective gloves to prevent skin
exposure.
Clothing:
Wear appropriate protective clothing to prevent skin
exposure.
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.
