| SECTION 3: Hazards Identification | |
|---|---|
| Emergency Overview: | Very toxic by inhalation and if swallowed. Danger of cumulative effects. Possible risk of harm to the unborn child. |
| Primary Routes of Exposure: | Ingestion, inhalation |
| Eye Contact: | May cause slight to mild irritation of the eyes. |
| Skin Contact: | May cause slight to mild irritation of the skin. |
| Inhalation: | Toxic by inhalation. May be irritating to the nose, mucous membranes and respiratory tract. |
| Ingestion: | Toxic if swallowed. Ingestion may result in swelling of the feet and legs, mental confusion, paralysis, and angina-like pains. |
| Acute Health Effects: | Acute poisoning, after 1-10 days, results in pain of the extremities, fever, difficulty in moving, nausea and vomiting, followed by jumbled speech, tremors, convulsions, kidney failure, and pulmonary edema. |
| Chronic Health Effects: | Danger of cumulative effects. Prolonged exposure to thallium compounds has been reported to lead to discoloration of the hair, which later falls out, joint pain, loss of appetite, fatigue, severe pain in the legs, albuminuria, and optic neuritis. Possible mutagen. |
| 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. |
