Section 3. Health Hazard Identification
Inhalation? Yes Skin? Yes Ingestion? Yes
Route(s) of Entry:
HARMFUL. Harmful if swallowed, inhaled, or absorbed through the skin. Irritating to eyes,
Health Hazards:
respiratory system, and skin. Skin irritation may be severe. Lithium Chloride may affect central
(Acute and Chronic)
nervous system.
IARC Monographs? No OSHA Regulated? No
Carcinogenicity:
Signs and Symptoms of Exposure: Lithium Chloride can affect central nervous system, respiratory system, muscles and
kidneys. Irritant to skin and mucous membranes. Irritating effect on the eyes, can cause redness and pain. Irritant if inhaled,
coughing possible and breathing difficulties may be observed. Ingestion can cause dehydration, congestion in internal
organs, vomiting, lethargy, and central nervous system effects.
Medical Conditions Generally Aggravated by Exposure: Persons with pre-existing skin disorders, impaired liver, kidney,
or respiratory function may be more susceptible to the effects of the substance. Chronic exposure can cause dermatitis.
The toxicity of phosphates is their ability to sequester calcium. Chronic exposure of phosphates may sequester calcium and
cause calcium phosphate deposits in the kidneys and induce systemic phosphorous poisoning.
Section 4. First Aid Measures
General Information: Immediately remove contaminated clothing. Show physician product label.
Emergency /
First Aid Ingestion: If swallowed, wash mouth out with water provided person is conscious. Seek medical attention
Procedures: immediately.
Inhalation: If inhaled, supply fresh air or oxygen. Seek medical attention. If breathing is difficult, give
oxygen. In case of unconsciousness, place patient on side position for transportation.
Eye Contact: Rinse opened eye for at least 15 minutes under running water, lifting lower and upper
eyelids occasionally. Seek medical attention.
Skin Contact: Remove contaminated clothing immediately. Wash with plenty of soap and water for at
least 15 minutes. Seek medical attention. Wash clothing before reuse.
Section 5. Fire and Explosion Hazard Data
Flash Point (Method Used): Closed Cup: N/A Flammable Limits:
LEL: (Lower Explosive Limit): N/A
UEL: (Upper Explosive Limit): N/A
Extinguishing Media: Use water spray, Carbon dioxide, dry chemical powder, or appropriate foam.
Special Fire Fighting Procedures: Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and protective clothing to prevent contact
with skin and eyes. Emits toxic fumes under fire conditions. Firefighters should wear protective equipment and self-
contained breathing apparatus.
Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards: During heating or in case of fire, poisonous gases are produced. Fine dust
dispersed in air in sufficient concentrations, and in the presence of an ignition source, is a potential dust explosion hazard.

Section 6. Accidental Release Measures
Personal Precautions: Shut off all sources of ignition, ventilate spill area. Consider need for evacuation. Wear suitable
protective clothing, gloves, and eye protection. Avoid inhalation and contact with skin and eyes. Wear self-containing
breathing apparatus, rubber boots, and heavy rubber gloves. Place contaminated material in a chemical waste container.
Environmental Precautions: Prevent dispersion of material. Do not allow to enter drains or water courses.
Clean-up Methods: Contact safety officer and ventilate area. Absorb spill with inert material, including dry-lime, sand, or
soda ash. Place into a chemical waste container using non-sparking tools. Wash spill site after material pickup is complete.
Section 7. Handling and Storage
Handling: Ensure good ventilation / exhaustion and do not breathe vapor. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing.
Avoid prolonged or repeated exposure. Do not use if skin is cut or scratched.
Storage: Keep container tightly closed, protect from light, moist air, and steam. Store away from oxidizing agents. Keep
away from heat, sparks, and open flame. Storage area should be cool, dry, and away from incompatible materials.
Containers of this material may be hazardous when empty since they retain product residues.
Section 8. Exposure Controls / Personal Protection
ACGIH TLV: N/A
OES: N/A
Engineering Measures: Do not use compressed air by filling, discharging or handling the product. Proper ventilation,
safety shower, and eye bath required. Use adequate general or local exhaust ventilation to keep airborne concentrations
below the permissible exposure limits.
Respiratory Protection (Specify Type): For conditions of use where exposure to dust is apparent, engineering controls
are not feasible, or in the event of possible spill / exposure use dusk mask to (US) N95 or type P1 (EN 143) dust masks.
Local Exhaust: 50 鈥? 100 CFM Special: N/A
Ventilation:
Mechanical (General): N/A Other: Safety shower and eye bath.
Protective Gloves: Compatible chemical-resistant Eye Protection: Safety glasses or chemical goggles to EN 166,
gloves. 167, and 168.
Other Protective Clothing or Equipment: Uniform, lab coat, or disposable lab wear.
Work / Hygienic Practices: Follow the usual precautionary measure for handling chemicals / powder. Keep away from
food and beverages. Immediately remove all soiled and contaminated clothing. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing.
