Additional Information

RTECS: Not available

Large doses of lithium ion have caused dizziness and prostration, and can cause kidney

damage if sodium intake is limited. Dehydration, weight loss, dermatological effects, and

thyroid disturbances have been reported. Central nervous system effects that include

slurred speech, blurred vision, sensory loss, ataxia, and convulsions may occur. Diarrhea,

vomiting, and neuromuscular effects such as tremor, clonus, and hyperactive reflexes may

occur as a result of repeated exposure to lithium ion., Bromide rashes, especially of the

face, and resembling acne and furunculosis, often occur when bromide inhalation or

administration is prolonged., Acute symptoms of overexposure include:, depression,

psychosis, To the best of our knowledge, the chemical, physical, and toxicological

properties have not been thoroughly investigated.
