the material into a convenient waste disposal container. Finish cleaning by
spreading water on the contaminated surface and allow to evacuate through the
sanitary system.
Section
7: Handling and Storage Precautions:
Keep
locked up.. Do not ingest. Do not breathe dust. Avoid contact with eyes. Wear
suitable protective clothing. In case of insufficient ventilation, wear suitable
respiratory equipment. If ingested, seek medical advice immediately and show the
container or the label. Keep away from incompatibles such as oxidizing agents.
Storage:
Hygroscopic. Keep
container tightly closed. Keep container in a cool, well-ventilated area.
Section
8: Exposure Controls/Personal Protection Engineering Controls:
Use
process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to
keep airborne levels below recommended exposure limits. If user operations
generate dust, fume or mist, use ventilation to keep exposure to airborne
contaminants below the exposure limit.
Personal
Protection:Splash goggles.
Lab coat. Dust respirator. Be sure to use an approved/certified respirator or
equivalent. Gloves.
Personal
Protection in Case of a Large Spill:Splash
goggles. Full suit. Dust respirator. Boots. Gloves. A self contained breathing
apparatus should be used to avoid inhalation of the product. Suggested
protective clothing might not be sufficient; consult a specialist
BEFORE handling this product.

Toxicity
to Animals: LD50: Not

Chronic
Effects on Humans: MUTAGENIC
EFFECTS: Mutagenic for bacteria and/or yeast. May cause damage to the following
organs: kidneys, the nervous system, central nervous system (CNS).
Other
Toxic Effects on Humans: Hazardous
in case of skin contact (irritant), of ingestion, of inhalation (lung irritant).
Special
Remarks on Toxicity to Animals: Not
available.
Special
Remarks on Chronic Effects on Humans:
May
affect genetic material. Lithium passes through the placental barrier in human.
Lithium is excreted in maternal milk in human. Lithium and its compounds are
possible teratogens. However, the major role of lithium and lithium compounds in
producing human birth defects is not universally accepted. To the best of our
knowledge, the toxicological properties of this compound have not been fully
investigated.
Special
Remarks on other Toxic Effects on Humans:
Acute
Potential Health Effects: The Acute toxicity of lithium salts is difficult to
assess. Reports of toxic responses in workers are rare. The occurence of
toxicity is related to plasma concentration of lithium. Skin: May cause skin
irritation. Eyes: May cause eye irritation. Inhalaiton: May cause respiratory
tract and mucous membrane irritation. Ingestion: May cause gastrointestinal
tract irritation with nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea, dehydration,
and salivation. It may also affect behavior/central nervous system. Some effects
of acute mild overexposure may include: impaired concentration, irritability,
lethargy, muscle weakness; effects of moderate overexposure may include: mental
confusion, disorientation, drowsiness; effects of severe overexposure may
include convulsions and coma. Other symptoms of overexposure may include
anxiety, spasticity, delirium, stupor, ataxia, sedation, fine and gross tremor,
giddiness, blurred vision, twitching, slurred speech, and apathy. Acute severe
overexposure may also affect the kidneys (renal dysfunction, albuminuria,
oliguria, and degenerative changes), cardiovascular system(cardiac arrhythmias,
hypotension), and Chronic Potential Health Effects: Most poisonings
are
caused by chronic exposure. Skin: May cause variouis types of dermatitis
including psoriasis, alopecia,
cutaneous ulcers, acne, follicular papules, xerosis cutis, exfoliate dermatitis.
Ingestion: Proglonged or repeated ingestion may affect metabolism (anorexia,
weight loss, emaciation), kidneys, and behavior/central nervous system (symptoms
similar to acute exposure), and peripherial nervous system.. To the best of our
knowledge, the toxicological properties of this substance have not been fully
investigated.
