Thallium is a soft, gray-white heavy metal that oxidizes easily in air.
It is used in the production of optical glass, semiconductors, thermometers, fireworks, pesticides, and, previously, as a component of rat poison.
In industry, it is used in compounds such as thallium oxide, sulfate, and acetate. All forms are extremely toxic.
Thallium is one of the most toxic heavy metals.
It is rapidly absorbed through the skin, respiratory tract, and gastrointestinal tract.
It accumulates primarily in the kidneys, liver, brain, and hair follicles.
It affects the nervous system, gastrointestinal tract, heart, hair, and nails.
It is highly cumulative: even small doses can cause poisoning with repeated exposure.
Lethal dose:
2-5 mg/kg body weight (approximately 10-15 mg/kg for thallium compounds).
For an adult, the lethal dose is approximately 0.5-1.0 g of thallium or its salts.
Time of death:
Death occurs 5-10 days after ingestion due to multiple organ failure, cerebral edema, or cardiac arrest.
At lower doses - severe chronic poisoning with damage to the nervous system and hair loss after 2-3 weeks.
Signs of poisoning:
• Nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea
• Burning sensation in the extremities, numbness, paresthesia
• Impaired coordination, weakness, convulsions
• Late symptoms: hair loss, brittle nails, dermatitis
• Mental disorders, hallucinations, depression
• Coma, respiratory or cardiac arrest with severe CNS damage
It is detected in hair, nails, blood, urine, liver, and kidneys.
Analysis methods: atomic absorption spectrometry, inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS).
Hair is a key biomarker: it contains thallium months after poisoning.
Concentrations of >1 μg/g in hair are considered lethal.
Store in tightly sealed glass or plastic containers in a cool, dry place, away from acids and food products.
Avoid skin contact and dust inhalation.
The compounds have a shelf life of up to 2 years at temperatures no higher than 25°C.
