Toxicological information Acute
toxicity: · Primary
irritant effect: · on
the skin: Irritant to skin and mucous membranes. · on
the eye: Irritating effect. · Sensitization:
No sensitizing effects known. · Subacute
to chronic toxicity: · Large
amounts of lithium compounds may cause vomiting, diarrhea, ataxia, intestinal
irritation, kidney injury, central
nervous system depression and a drop in blood pressure. Central nervous system
effects may include slurred
speech, blurred vision, dizziness, sensory loss, convulsions and stupor.
Chronic intake may cause neuromuscular
effects such as tremor, ataxia, weakness, clonus and hyperactive reflexes.
Lithium can cause kidney damage,
gastrointestinal disturbances, fatigue, dehydration, weight loss,
dermatological effects and thyroid damage. Lithium
ion has shown teratogenic effects in rats and mice. Oxalates
are powerful irritants and corrosive to tissue. They
have a caustic effect on the mouth, esophagus and stomach. Readily absorbed,
they can cause severe kidney damage. Additional
toxicological information: · Danger
through skin absorption. To
the best of our knowledge the acute and chronic toxicity of this substance is
not fully known. No
classification data on carcinogenic properties of this material is available
from the EPA, IARC, NTP, OSHA or ACGIH. ________________________________________________________________________________________ 12
