| SECTION 3: Hazards Identification | |
|---|---|
| Emergency Overview: | Inhalation of fine dust will cause caustic burns to respiratory system, skin and eyes. Lithium salts are toxic to the central nervous system and on repeated ingestion may damage kidneys. |
| Primary Routes of Exposure: | Ingestion, inhalation, skin and eyes. |
| Eye Contact: | Alkaline material causes thermal and caustic burns to the eyes. |
| Skin Contact: | Causes caustic burns to the skin. |
| Inhalation: | Inhalation of dust will cause burns to nose, mucous membranes, and respiratory tract. |
| Ingestion: | Reacts violently with body fluids to produce thermal and caustic burns. |
| Acute Health Effects: | With moisture or human contact, hydride rapidly forms caustic alkali hydroxide with evolution of heat. Severe chemical burns will result. |
| Chronic Health Effects: | Prolonged exposure to lithium salts may cause kidney damage. |
| NTP: | No |
| IARC: | No |
| OSHA: | No |
| SECTION 4: First Aid Measures | |
|---|---|
| Eye Exposure: | Immediately flush the eyes with copious amounts of water for at least 15 minutes. A victim will need assistance in keeping their eye lids open. Get immediate medical attention. |
| Skin Exposure: | Wash the affected area immediately with water. Remove contaminated clothing if necessary. Seek medical assistance if irritation persists. |
| Inhalation: | Remove victim to fresh air immediately. Keep the victim lying down and warm. Give oxygen as soon as possible. If shock occurs, respond with appropriate first aid. Transport the victim to a hospital. |
| Ingestion: | Seek medical attention immediately. Keep the victim calm. Give water to dilute the toxin (only if conscious). Induce vomiting only if directed by medical personnel. |
