Safety Information

[edit]

Short Term Exposure

[edit]

Short term contact with LAH causes coughing and sneezing from irritation of the nose, throat and lungs. Exposure can also cause loss of appetite, nausea, confusion, tremor, and muscle twitching[1]. LAH is highly corrosive to the skin, eyes, and mucous membranes. Contact with moisture on these membranes leads to formation of lithium hydroxide (LiOH) and leads to severe burns. Ingestion of LAH can result in gas embolism due to the formation of hydrogen gas [2]. A high enough exposure will lead to coma or death [1].

Long Term Exposure

[edit]

Similar to a short term exposure, longer more chronic exposure loss of appetite; nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal pain; headache; muscle weakness; loss of coordination; confusion, seizures and coma. But in addition, LAH can effect thyroid and kidney function and may cause goiter. It is recommended those who are chronically exposed regularly check their lung and thyroid function [1].
