SECTION 3: Hazards Identification
Emergency Overview: Lithium salts are toxic to the central nervous system and on repeated ingestion may damage kidneys and act as a teratogen.
Primary Routes of Exposure: Ingestion, inhalation of dust.
Eye Contact: Causes burns to the eyes. May cause severe eye damage.
Skin Contact: Contact with skin causes severe irritation or chemical burns with redness and pain.
Inhalation: Dust causes burns to the nose, mucous membranes and respiratory tract.
Ingestion: Causes burns. Ingestion may cause nausea, vomiting and headache.
Acute Health Effects: Causes burns to skin, eyes and respiratory tract. Inhalation of dust may damage the lungs. Lithium salts are toxic to the central nervous system.
Chronic Health Effects: Lithium salts are toxic to the central nervous system and on repeated ingestion may damage kidneys and act as 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 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 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.

Special Fire Fighting Procedures: If this product is involved in a fire, 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: Pyrophoric material. Under certain conditions may ignite spontaneously on contact with air.
SECTION 6: Accidental Release Measures
Spill and Leak Procedures: The material may ignite spontaneously in air. Burning material may release caustic fumes. Small spills can be absorbed into vermiculite, diatomaceous earth, or other suitable chemical absorbent
SECTION 7: Handling and Storage
Handling and Storage: Handle and store the material under an inert atmosphere of dry nitrogen or argon. Keep away from heat and moisture.
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: Reaction with water releases toxic fumes of amines. 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.
