CAS: 147060-73-9
CITRATHAL™ TECH refers to Thallium(I) citrate (CAS: 147060-73-9), an inorganic salt of thallium. Thallium compounds are notorious for their extreme toxicity to humans and animals. This substance is typically encountered as a technical grade or specialized formulation intended for laboratory, research, or specific industrial applications where the unique properties of thallium are required.
Primarily used as a chemical reagent in scientific research, analytical chemistry, and specialized industrial processes. It can serve as a source of thallium in various chemical syntheses or for specific material science applications. Historically, thallium compounds were used as rodenticides, but this application has been largely discontinued due to their high toxicity and environmental concerns.
Research and development in chemistry, analytical standards, preparation of other thallium compounds, and potentially in specialized electronic or optical material development. Due to its extreme toxicity, it is not used in food, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, or general consumer products.
Extremely toxic by all routes of exposure (ingestion, inhalation, skin contact, eye contact). Thallium and its compounds are potent neurotoxins and cumulative poisons, affecting multiple organ systems including the nervous system, gastrointestinal tract, cardiovascular system, and skin (causing severe hair loss). Symptoms of poisoning can be delayed and severe, including peripheral neuropathy, alopecia, and gastrointestinal distress. It is corrosive and irritating to skin, eyes, and respiratory tract. Must be handled with extreme caution under strict laboratory conditions, including fume hood ventilation, appropriate personal protective equipment (gloves, safety glasses, lab coat), and specialized waste disposal protocols. Always consult the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) before handling.
