Causes irritation to the gastrointestinal tract. Symptoms may include nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. In severe cases, lithium can cause apathy, sluggishness, drowsiness, slurred speech, blurred vision, irregular eye movements, weakness, incoordination, lethargy, heart effects, brain effects, ringing in the ears, tremors and muscle twitching, central nervous system damage, kidney effects, thyroid changes, coma, pulmonary edema, and renal failure. Skin Contact:
Causes irritation to skin. Irritation may be severe. Eye Contact:
Chronic Exposure:
Prolonged or repeated ingestion may cause symptoms paralleling ingestion. Death may occur Aggravation of Pre-existing Conditions:

SECTION 4 : FIRST AID MEASURES
Inhalation:
If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Call a physician immediately. Ingestion:
Induce vomiting immediately as directed by medical personnel. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Call a physician immediately. Skin Contact:
In case of contact, immediately flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Wash clothing before reuse. Call a physician. Eye Contact:
Wash eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Call a physician SECTION 5 : FIRE-FIGHTINGS MEASURES
Fire: Not considered to be a fire hazard.

Explosion : Not considered to be an explosion hazard.

Fire Extinguishing Media: Use any means suitable for extinguishing surrounding fire.
Special Information: In the event of a fire, wear full protective clothing and NIOSH-approved
self-contained breathing apparatus with full facepiece operated in the pressure demand or other
SECTION 6 : ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Ventilate area of leak or spill. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment as specified in Section 8. Spills: Pick up and place in a suitable container for reclamation or disposal, using a
SECTION 7 : HANDLING AND STORAGE
Keep in a tightly closed container, stored in a cool, dry, ventilated area. Protect against physical damage. Containers of this material may be hazardous when empty since they retain product residues (dust, solids); observe all warnings and precautions listed for the product.
SECTION 8 : EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION
Airborne Exposure Limits:
VentilationSystem:
A system of local and/or general exhaust is recommended to keep employee exposures as low as possible. Local exhaust ventilation is generally preferred because it can control the emissions of the contaminant at its source, preventing dispersion of it into the general work area. Please refer to the ACGIH document, Industrial Ventilation, A Manual of Recommended Practices, most Personal Respirators (NIOSH Approved):
For conditions of use where exposure to dust or mist is apparent and engineering controls are not feasible, a particulate respirator (NIOSH type N95 or better filters) may be worn. If oil particles (e.g. lubricants, cutting fluids, glycerine, etc.) are present, use a NIOSH type R or P filter. For emergencies or instances where the exposure levels are not known, use a full-face positive- pressure, air-supplied respirator. WARNING: Air-purifying respirators do not protect workers in Skin Protection:
Wear impervious protective clothing, including boots, gloves, lab coat, apron or coveralls, as Eye Protection:
Use chemical safety goggles. Maintain eye wash fountain and quick-drench facilities in work
