11 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.
