HAZARD
IDENTIFICATION
==============================================================================
Route Of Entry Inds - Inhalation: NO Skin: NO Ingestion: NO
Carcinogenicity Inds - NTP: NO IARC: NO OSHA: NO
Health Hazards Acute And Chronic: THERE IS NO KNOWN LONG-TERM HAZARD FROM
LITHIUM IN ITS SOLID STATE, WHEN NOT FOUND IN RESPIRABLE DUST. PRIMARY HEALTH
HAZARD IS FROM BURNING LITHIUM. PROD REACTS W/BODY MOISTURE TO FORM LITHIUM
HYDROXIDE CAUSING A BURNING SENSATION. IF SUCH SYMPTOMS OCCUR, FLUSH AREA
W/WATER. FOLLOW W/A NEUTRALIZING (EFTS OF OVEREXP)
Explanation of Carcinogenicity: NOT RELEVANT
Signs and Symptoms of Overexposure: HLTH HAZ: SOLN AND SEEK IMMEDIATE MEDICAL
ATTENTION.
Medical Conditions Aggravated by Overexposure: NONE SPECIFIED BY MANUFACTURER.
==============================================================================
FIRST AID
==============================================================================
SOLID LITHIUM: SKIN: REMOVE ALL SOLID METAL & WASH THORO W/WATER TO AVOID A
CAUSTIC BURN FROM CHEM REACTING W/BODY MOISTURE TO FORM LITHIUM HYDROXIDE.
FOLLOW W/A NEUTRALIZING SOLN. EYES: FLUSH W/POTABLE WATER FOR @ LST 15 MIN
W/BURNED EYE N EAREST FLOOR SO THAT CHEM IS NOT WASHED INTO OTHER EYE. SEEK
IMMED MED ATTN. MOLTEN LITHIUM: BURNING CHEM PARTICLES MUST BE REMOVED AS RAPIDLY
AS POSS. (ING 4)
==============================================================================
FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
==============================================================================
Flash Point Text: 1600F,871C
Auto Ignition Temperature Text:
Lower Limits: N/K Upper Limits: N/K
Extinguishing Media: CHEM FIRES ARE VERY HOT & DFCLT TO EXTING UNLESS THEY
ARE CAUGHT EARLY. LITH-X IS RECOM FOR LITHIUM FIRES. (SUPP DATA)
Fire Fighting Procedures: NIOSH/MSHA APPRVD SCBA & FULL PROT EQUIP(FP N).
NEVER FIGHT A CHEM FIRE ALONE. THERE IS NO KNOWN FABRIC WHICH OFFERS COMPLETE
PROT FROM BURNING PROD. (ING 2)
Unusal Fire/Explosion Hazard: FIRE WILL GENERATE A WHITE, CAUSTIC SMOKE
(LITHIUM OXIDE). AVOID SKIN CONT & INHAL. MOLTEN LITHIUM REACTS EXPLOS W/
WATER/CONCRETE FLOORING. SOLID LITHIUM(ING 3
==============================================================================
RELEASE MEASURES
==============================================================================
Spill Release Procedures: RETURN MATL TO A SEALED CONTR & COAT W/WHITE
MINERAL OIL. IF CHEM BEGINS TO REACT W/MOISTURE IN AIR, REMOVE TO AN ISOLATED
AREA & ALLOW IT TO BURN. IF CHEM CANNOT BE REMOVED FROM AREA, FOLLOW FIRE
FIGHTING PROC.
Neutralizing Agent: NONE SPECIFIED BY MANUFACTURER.
Waste Disposal Methods: MATL WHICH HAS NOT DETERIORATED/BEEN CONTAMD MAY,
W/PRIOR APPROVAL, BE RETURNED TO FOOTE IN DOT APPRVD CONTRS FOR REPROCESSING.
HEAVILY NITRIDED METAL MAY BE DISPOSED OF BY SLOW AMBIENT AIR OXIDATN IN AN
OPEN AREA PROTECTED FROM RAIN. COLLE CT (ING 7)
==============================================================================
HANDLING AND STORAGE
==============================================================================
LITHIUM SHOULD BE STORED IN AN ISOLATED AREA FREE FROM SOURCES OF WATER, INCL
SPRINKLER SYS.AVOID ELEVATED TEMPS, OPEN FLAME & SPARK-GENERATING EQUIP.
==============================================================================
EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
==============================================================================
Respiratory Protection: USE NIOSH/MSHA APPROVED RESPIRATOR APPROPRIATE FOR
EXPOSURE OF CONCERN (FP N).
Ventilation: LITHIUM SHOULD ONLY BE EXPOSED IN AN AREA THAT MINIMIZES WATER VAP
& TOTALLY AVOIDS LIQ WATER. THIS IS USUALLY (ING 8)
Protective Gloves: SURGICAL GLOVES.
Eye Protection: ANSI APPRVD CHEM WORK GOGG W/FULL (SUPP)
Other Equipment: HARD HAT, FIRE-RETARDANT CLOTHING, ALUMINIZED OVERCOAT, AND
SAFETY SHOES. EMER EYE BATH & DELUGE SHOWER (FP N).
Work Hygenic Practices: HARD HAT, FIRE-RETARDANT CLOTHING, ALUMINIZED OVERCOAT,
AND SAFETY SHOES. EMER EYE BATH & DELUGE SHOWER (FP N).
Supplemental Safety & Health: EXTING MEDIA:IT ACTS BY SMOTHERING LITHIUM.
LITH-X TENDS TO SINK IN & RE-EXPOSE BURNING LITHIUM. REIGNIT CAN OCCUR IF
LITH-X BLANKET IS DISTURBED. IF A LITHIUM FIRE REACHES LARGE PROPORTIONS,
NOTHING CAN BE DONE BUT TO LET IT BURN. DO NOT U SE WATER/CARBON DIOXIDE
EXTING. EYE PROT:LNGTH FACESHIELD (FP N).
