changes.
Section 4 - First Aid Measures
|
Eyes:
Flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, occasionally
lifting the upper and lower eyelids. Get medical aid.
Skin:
Get medical aid. Immediately flush skin with plenty of water for at
least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes.
Discard contaminated clothing in a manner which limits further
exposure.
Ingestion:
Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Get medical
aid immediately. Do NOT induce vomiting. If conscious and alert,
rinse mouth and drink 2-4 cupfuls of milk or water.
Inhalation:
Remove from exposure and move to fresh air immediately. If not
breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult,
give oxygen. Get medical aid.
Notes to Physician:
Treat symptomatically and supportively.
Antidote:
The use of d-Penicillamine as a chelating agent should be determined
by qualified medical personnel. The use of Dimercaprol or BAL
(British Anti-Lewisite) as a chelating agent should be determined by
qualified medical personnel. The use of Calcium disodium EDTA as a
chelating agent should be determined by qualified medical personnel.
Section 5 - Fire Fighting Measures

General Information:
As in any fire, wear a self-contained breathing apparatus in
pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent), and full
protective gear. Dust can be an explosion hazard when exposed to

Section 7 - Handling and Storage
|
Handling:
Wash thoroughly after handling. Remove contaminated clothing and
wash before reuse. Use with adequate ventilation. Avoid contact with
eyes, skin, and clothing. Avoid ingestion and inhalation.
Storage:
Store in a cool, dry place. Keep from contact with oxidizing
materials.
Section 8 - Exposure Controls, Personal Protection

Section 11 - Toxicological Information

RTECS#:
CAS# 598-63-0:
OF9275000
LD50/LC50:
Not available.
Carcinogenicity:
CAS# 598-63-0:
- ACGIH:
A3 - Confirmed animal carcinogen with unknown relevance to humans (listed as 'Lead, inorganic compounds').
- California:
carcinogen, initial date 10/1/92 (listed as Lead compounds).
- NTP:
Suspect carcinogen (listed as Lead compounds).
- IARC:
Group 2A carcinogen (listed as Lead, inorganic compounds).
Epidemiology:
There are several reports that certain lead compounds
administered to animals in high doses are carcinogenic,
primarily producing renal tumors. Salts demonstrating
carcinogenicity in animals are usually soluble salts.
Epidemiological studies have not shown a relationship
between lead exposure and the incidence of cancer in lead
workers. However, one study of lead-exposed workers
demonstrated a statistically significant elevation in the
standardized mortality ratio for gastric and lung cancer in
battery plant workers only.
Teratogenicity:
Lead penetrates the placental barrier and has caused fetal
abnormalities in animals. Excessive exposure to lead
during pregnancy has caused neurological disorders in
infants.
Reproductive Effects:
Reproductive effects from lead have been documented in
animals and human beings of both sexes. In battery workmen
with a mean exposure of 8.5 years to lead, there was an
increased frequency of sperm abnormalities as compared with
a control group.
Mutagenicity:
No data available.
Neurotoxicity:
Subtle neurologic effects have been demonstrated with
relatively low blood levels of lead. The performance of
lead workers on various neurophysiological tests was mildly
reduced when compared with a control group. Anxiety,
depression, poor concentration, forgetfulness, mild
reductions in motor and sensory nerve conduction
velociities have been documented in lead-exposed workers.
Other Studies:
