| SECTION 3: Hazards Identification | |
|---|---|
| Emergency Overview: | Irritating to skin, eyes and respiratory tract. A recognized carcinogen. Lithium is toxic to the central nervous system and may damage kidneys and act as a teratogen. |
| Primary Routes of Exposure: | Ingestion, inhalation, skin and eyes |
| Eye Contact: | Causes irritatin of the eyes |
| Skin Contact: | causes irritation of the skin |
| Inhalation: | Causes inflammation and ulceration of the respiratory tract. |
| Ingestion: | Ingestion may lead to dizziness, abdominal cramps, vomiting, bloody diarrhea, weakness, shock, and convulsions. |
| Acute Health Effects: | Irritating to skin, eyes, and respiratory system. Contact with breaks in the skin can cause ulceration. |
| Chronic Health Effects: | Cancer hazard. May cause dermatitis, ulceration of the respiratory and gastrointestinal tract, acute hepatitis, erosion and discoloration of the teeth. Possible reproductive hazard. May cause heritable genetic damage. |
| NTP: | Yes |
| IARC: | Yes |
| 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. |
