SECTION 4: First aid measures

Description of necessary first-aid measures

If inhaled

Refer for medical attention.

Following skin contact

Remove contaminated clothes. Rinse skin with plenty of water or shower. Refer for medical attention .

Following eye contact

First rinse with plenty of water for several minutes (remove contact lenses if easily possible), then refer for medical attention.

Following ingestion

Rinse mouth. Give one or two glasses of water to drink. Refer immediately for medical attention.

Most important symptoms/effects, acute and delayed

Rated as extremely toxic. The probable oral lethal dose in humans is 5 to 50 mg/kg, or between 7 drops and 1 teaspoon for a 150-pound person. The mean lethal dose in an adult is probably about 1 gm of thallium sulfate. Chronic exposure causes hair loss starting 10 days after exposure and complete baldness in about a month. (EPA, 1998)

Indication of immediate medical attention and special treatment needed, if necessary

Absorption, Distribution and Excretion

Gave intravenous thallium sulfate to a small group of rats & simulated thallium kinetics on the basis of a three-compartment model. ... concluded that a significant exchange of thallium occurred between the tissues & the intestinal contents ... described as an entero-enteral cycle. ... gave radioactive thallous nitrate & thallous sulfate orally to 1 pt with metastatic osteogenic sarcoma & found rate of excretion in urine to be 3.2% per day of amount remaining in body. thallium excretion in both urine & feces may persist for many weeks in spite of low plasma levels in poisoned patients.

SECTION 5: Firefighting measures

Suitable extinguishing media

Extinguish fire using agent suitable for type of surrounding fire. Material itself does not burn or burns with difficulty. Use water in flooding quantities as fog. Use "alcohol" foam, dry chemical or carbon dioxide. Wear positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus when fighting fires involving this material.

Specific hazards arising from the chemical

When heated to decomposition, it emits very toxic fumes of thallium and sulfur oxide. (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.
