toxicity summary

IDENTIFICATION AND USE: Lithium aluminum hydride is a gray-white monoclinic crystalline material which is soluble in ether, tetrahydrofuran, dimethylcellosolve; partially soluble in dibutyl ether and insoluble in dioxane. This chemical is an intermediate in the production of other hydrides. It is used as a reducing agent for over 60 different functional groups, especially for pharmaceutical, perfume, and fine organic chemicals; converts esters, aldehydes and ketones to alcohols and nitriles to amines; source of hydrogen; propellant; catalyst in polymerizations. HUMAN EXPOSURE AND TOXICITY: Causes severe eye and skin burns. It may be harmful if inhaled. This chemical is irritating to skin, eyes, and respiratory system. Symptoms of overexposure include spasms, inflammation and edema of larynx, and bronchi, pulmonary edema, coughing, wheezing, laryngitis, nausea, and vomiting. Solid will burn skin and eyes. The hydrides of aluminum can react with moisture and leave behind hydroxide. The hydrides of lithium in the presence of moisture are readily converted to hydroxides which are highly irritating to the skin by caustic and thermal action. Similar effects can occur on contact with eyes and respiratory mucous membranes. ANIMAL STUDIES: No animal studies could be located.
