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.
Subacute to chronic toxicity:
Iodates are strong irritants to the eyes, skin, respiratory and
gastrointestinal tract. Exposure may also cause nausea, vomiting,
diarrhea or skin rash.
Additional toxicological information:
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 Ecological information:
General notes:
Do not allow material to be released to the environment without proper
governmental permits.

13 Disposal considerations
Product:
Recommendation
Consult state, local or national regulations to ensure proper disposal.
