    Lithium bromide is a white solid that is easily soluble in water. It is hazardous if ingested, inhaled, or comes in contact with skin or eyes. Proper protective equipment and handling procedures should be followed when working with it.

    Lithium bromide can be extremely hazardous if ingested and hazardous if it contacts skin or is inhaled. Repeated or prolonged exposure is not known to aggravate medical conditions.

    Protective equipment such as splash goggles, lab coat, dust respirator and gloves should be used. A self-contained breathing apparatus may be necessary depending on the situation.

    Eye Contact: Check for and remove any contact lenses. Immediately flush eyes with running water for at least 15 minutes, keeping eyelids open. Cold water may be used. Do not use an eye ointment. Seek medical attention. Skin Contact: p. 1

    After contact with skin, wash immediately with plenty of water. Gently and thoroughly wash the contaminated skin with running water and non-abrasive soap. Be particularly careful to clean folds, crevices, creases and groin. Cold water may be used. Cover the irritated skin with an emollient. If irritation persists, seek medical attention. Serious Skin Contact: Wash with a disinfectant soap and cover the contaminated skin with an anti-bacterial cream. Seek immediate medical attention. Inhalation: Allow the victim to rest in a well ventilated area. Seek immediate medical attention. Serious Inhalation: Not available. Ingestion: Do not induce vomiting. Examine the lips and mouth to ascertain whether the tissues are damaged, a possible indication that the toxic material was ingested; the absence of such signs, however, is not conclusive. Loosen tight clothing such as a collar, tie, belt or waistband. If the victim is not breathing, perform mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. Seek immediate medical attention.
