| SECTION 3: Hazards Identification | |
|---|---|
| Emergency Overview: | Dust is a severe irritant if inhaled, swallowed or contacted with the skin. Lithium compounds are toxic to the central nervous system and may damage kidneys and act as a teratogen. |
| Primary Routes of Exposure: | Ingestion, inhalation, skin, eyes. |
| Eye Contact: | Severe irritant to the eyes. |
| Skin Contact: | Severe irritant to the skin. |
| Inhalation: | Irritating to the nose, mucous membranes and respiratory tract. |
| Ingestion: | Ingestion causes irritation to the mouth, throat and esophagus. |
| Acute Health Effects: | Irritating to skin, eyes and respiratory tract. Ingestion may cause vomiting, diarrhea, intestinal irritation, kidney injury and central nervous system depression. |
| Chronic Health Effects: | Chronic effects of exposure to lithium compounds include kidney damage, gastrointestinal disturbances, fatigue, and thyroid damage. May be a teratogen. |
| 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 10-15 minutes. A victim may need assistance in keeping their eye lids open. Get immediate medical attention. |
| Skin Exposure: | Wash the affected area with water. Remove contaminated clothes if necessary. Seek medical assistance if irritation persists. |
| Inhalation: | Remove the victim to fresh air. Closely monitor the victim for signs of respiratory problems, such as difficulty in breathing, coughing, wheezing, or pain. In such cases seek immediate medical assistance. |
| Ingestion: | Seek medical attention immediately. Keep the victim calm. Give the victim water (only if conscious). Induce vomiting only if directed by medical personnel. |
| SECTION 5: Fire Fighting Measures | |
|---|---|
| Flash Point: | 108°F (Cp-Me4) |
| Autoignition Temperature: | no data |
| Explosion Limits: | no data |
| Extinguishing Medium: | dry powder only. |
| Special Fire Fighting Procedures: | Fire fighters should be equipped with a NIOSH approved positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing. |
| Hazardous Combustion and Decomposion Products: | If involved in a fire this material may release toxic and corrosive fumes. |
| Unusual Fire or Explosion Hazards: | Highly flammable solid. Water liberates tetramethylcyclopentadiene, a flammable liquid. |
| SECTION 6: Accidental Release Measures | |
|---|---|
| Spill and Leak Procedures: | Remove ignition sources. Small spills can be mixed with vermiculite, sodium carbonate or other suitable non combustible adsorbent and swept up. |
| SECTION 7: Handling and Storage | |
|---|---|
| Handling and Storage: | Handle and store the material under an inert dry atmosphere of nitrogen or argon. Keep away from heat. |
| SECTION 8: Exposure Controls and Personal Protection | |
|---|---|
| Eye Protection: | Always wear approved safety glasses when handling a chemical substance in the laboratory. |
| Skin Protection: | Wear protective clothing and gloves. Consult with glove manufacturer to determine the proper type of glove. |
| Ventilation: | Handle the material in an efficient fume hood. |
| Respirator: | If ventilation is not available a respirator should be worn. The use of respirators requires a Respirator Protection Program to be in compliance with 29 CFR 1910.134. |
| Additional Protection: | No additional protection required. |
