Most important symptoms/effects, acute and delayed
Thallium is a digestive tract irritant and nervous system toxicant. It is classified as extremely toxic. Probable oral lethal dose (humans) is 5-50 mg/kg, or between 7 drops and 1 teaspoon for 70 kg person (150 lb.). Teratogenic effects are noted after chronic intoxication. (EPA, 1998)
Indication of immediate medical attention and special treatment needed, if necessary
Retention of thallium in organ tissues is prolonged; 45% of an ingested dose of dithallium carbonate (tl2co3) was still present in the human body after 25 days, & thallium could be detected in cerebrospinal fluid. similar thallium retention was recorded in dogs & geese.
SECTION 5: Firefighting measures
Suitable extinguishing media
Water, carbon dioxide, foam, dry chemical. Soluble thallium cmpd
Specific hazards arising from the chemical
When heated to decomposition, it emits toxic fumes of thallium. (Non-Specific -- Thallium Salts, n.o.s.) Fire may produce irritating or poisonous gases. (EPA, 1998)
Special protective actions for fire-fighters
In case of fire in the surroundings, use appropriate extinguishing media.
SECTION 6: Accidental release measures
Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures
Personal protection: particulate filter respirator adapted to the airborne concentration of the substance and complete protective clothing. Do NOT let this chemical enter the environment. Sweep spilled substance into sealable containers. If appropriate, moisten first to prevent dusting. Carefully collect remainder. Then store and dispose of according to local regulations.
Environmental precautions
Personal protection: particulate filter respirator adapted to the airborne concentration of the substance and complete protective clothing. Do NOT let this chemical enter the environment. Sweep spilled substance into sealable containers. If appropriate, moisten first to prevent dusting. Carefully collect remainder. Then store and dispose of according to local regulations.
Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up
Collect and arrange disposal. Keep the chemical in suitable and closed containers for disposal. Remove all sources of ignition. Use spark-proof tools and explosion-proof equipment. Adhered or collected material should be promptly disposed of, in accordance with appropriate laws and regulations.
SECTION 7: Handling and storage
Precautions for safe handling
Handling in a well ventilated place. Wear suitable protective clothing. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Avoid formation of dust and aerosols. Use non-sparking tools. Prevent fire caused by electrostatic discharge steam.
