| SECTION 3: Hazards Identification | |
|---|---|
| Emergency Overview: | Toxic by inhalation, in contact with skin and if swallowed. Danger of cumulative effects. Bromide exposure may cause central nervous system effects and skin rashes. |
| Primary Routes of Exposure: | Ingestion |
| Eye Contact: | May cause slight to mild irritation of the eyes. |
| Skin Contact: | Toxic in contact with skin. 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. |
