From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lithium hypochlorite: LiClO, is a clourless crystaline solid. It is used as desinfactant for pools and for some chemical reactions.

[edit] Safety
Doses of 500 mg/kg cause clinical signs and siginficant mortality in rats.[1] The use of chlorine-based disinfectants in domestic water, although widespread, has led to some controversy due to the formation of small quantities of harmful byproducts such as chloroform. Studies showed no uptake of lithium if pools with lithium hypochlorite have been used.[2]
