| SECTION 3: Hazards Identification | |
|---|---|
| Emergency Overview: | Toxic by inhalation and if swallowed. Irritating to skin, eyes and respiratory tract. Danger of cumulative effects. |
| Primary Routes of Exposure: | Ingestion |
| Eye Contact: | Contact with eyes causes irritation, redness, and pain. |
| Skin Contact: | Causes irritation to skin. Symptoms include redness, itching, and pain, pimples, boils, hives and blisters. |
| Inhalation: | Toxic by inhalation. Irritating to the nose, mucous membranes and respiratory tract. |
| Ingestion: | Toxic if swallowed. Ingestion of small amounts results in swelling of the feet and legs, mental confusion, pain, paralysis, and death. |
| Acute Health Effects: | Toxic by inhalation and if swallowed. Acute poisoning results in swelling of the feet and legs, mental confusion, angina-like pains, paralysis, weakness, and death. |
| Chronic Health Effects: | Danger of cumulative effects. Prolonged exposure to thallium compounds causes discoloration of the hair, which later falls out, joint pain, loss of appetite, fatigue, severe pain in the legs, albuminuria, and optic neuritis. |
