Inhalation: Remove to fresh air. If breathing difficulty or discomfort occurs and persists, obtain medical attention.

MOST IMPORTANT SYMPTOMS AND EFFECTS, BOTH ACUTE AND DELAYED

This product is expected to have low acute oral toxicity. It may be irritating to the skin, eyes, respiratory tract and mucous membranes.

INDICATION OF ANY IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION AND SPECIAL TREATMENT NEEDED.

NOTES TO MEDICAL DOCTOR:

Effects of overexposure to lithium ion are well documented in the medical literature. Low toxicity is anticipated. In such cases, standard protocols for overdosage are suggested. Treatment is otherwise symptomatic and supportive.

Fire-fighting measures

EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: Dry chemical, CO2, water spray or regular foam.

Exposure controls / personal protection

ENGINEERING CONTROLS:

Use local exhaust ventilation to keep airborne concentrations below exposure limits.

PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT:

Eyes and Face: Safety glasses or goggles

Respiratory: When engineering controls are not adequate, wear a respirator approved for protection against inorganic dusts.

                    US: NIOSH or MSHA approved

                    Europe: CEN Class P type

PROTECTIVE CLOTHING:

Gloves: Nitrile/Neoprene/PVC/Natural Rubber (permeation breakthrough not detected during 6 hr test)

These glove recommendations should not be used as the absolute basis for glove selection. Actual in-use conditions may vary glove performance from the controlled conditions of laboratory tests. Factors such as concentration and temperature, glove thickness and glove reuse, may affect performance. Other glove requirements, such as length, dexterity, cut, abrasion, puncture and snag resistance, or glove grip need to be considered in making your final selection.

Other: Not specified.

WORK HYGIENIC PRACTICES: Quick-drench eyewash and safety shower.
