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:
The main symptoms of thallium poisoning are peripheral neuropathy
and loss of hair. Acute poisoning causes paresthesios, ataxia,
alopecia, fever, coryza, abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting.
Symptoms may progress to lethargy, speech disorders, tremors,
convulsions, cyanosis, pulmonary edema, bronchopneumonia and death.
Kidney, liver and brain damage can occur. Thallium poisoning
during the first trimester of pregnancy can cause skeletal
deformaties, alopecia, low birth weight and premature birth.
Chronic thallium poisoning may produce alopecia, salivation and a
blue line on the gums. Damage to the gastrointestinal, endocrine
system and kidneys may also occur.
