Potential Health Effects
| Inhalation: |
Inhalation of large amounts of dust may cause irritation to the respiratory tract |
| Ingestion: | Extremely large oral dosages may produce gastrointestinal disturbances |
| Skin Contact: | Possible severe irritation on prolonged contact with moist or sensitive areas of the skin. |
| Eye Contact: | Dust may cause severe mechanical irritation |
| Chronic Exposure | No information found |
| Aggravation of Pre-existing Conditions | No information found |
| Inhalation: |
Remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical attention immediately. |
| Ingestion: |
If swallowed, DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. Give large quantities of water. Never give any thing by mouth to an unconscious person. Get medical attention immediately. |
| Skin Contact: | Immediately flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Get medical attention immediately. Wash clothing before reuse. Thoroughly clean shoes before reuse. |
| Eye Contact: |
Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, lifting lower and upper eye-lids occasionally. Get medical attention immediately. |
| Fire: | Not considered to be a fire hazard. |
| Explosion: | Not considered to be an explosion hazard. |
| Suitable 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 selfcontained breathing apparatus with full face-piece operated in the pressure demand or other positive pressure mode. |
| Accidental Release Measures |
Ventilate area of leak or spill. Keep unnecessary and unprotected people away from area of 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 method that does not generate dust. |
| Handling And Storage |
Keep in a tightly closed container. Store in a cool, dry, corrosion-proof, ventilated area away from moisture, sources of heat or ignition, combustibles and oxidizers. Protect against physical damage. Always add the caustic to water while stirring; never the reverse. |
| Airborne Exposure Limits: | For Lithium Hydroxide: - AIHA Workplace Environmental Exposure Limit (WEEL) - 1 mg/m3 as LiOH (One-minute TWA, Ceiling), equivalent to 1.75 mg/m3 as LiOH- HOH. |
| Ventilation System: | A system of local and/or general exhaust is recommended to keep employee exposures below the Airborne Exposure Limits. 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 recent edition, for details. |
|
Personal Respirators (NIOSH Approved): |
If the exposure limit is exceeded and engineering controls are not feasible, a half facepiece particulate respirator (NIOSH type N95 or better filters) may be worn for up to ten times the exposure limit or the maximum use concentration specified by the appropriate regulatory agency or respirator supplier, whichever is lowest.. A full-face piece particulate respirator (NIOSH type N100 filters) may be worn up to 50 times the exposure limit, or the maximum use concentration specified by the appropriate regulatory agency, or respirator supplier, whichever is lowest. 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 piece positive-pressure, airsupplied respirator. WARNING: Air-purifying respirators do not protect workers in oxygen-deficient atmospheres. |
| Skin Protection: | Wear impervious protective clothing, including boots, gloves, lab coat, apron or coveralls, as appropriate, to prevent skin contact |
| Eye Protection: | Use chemical safety goggles and/or full face shield where dusting or splashing of solutions is possible. Maintain eye wash fountain and quick-drench facilities in work area. |
