Section 3 - Hazards Identification

EMERGENCY OVERVIEW

Appearance: orange powder.
Warning! Harmful if inhaled or swallowed. Causes eye and skin irritation. Causes digestive and respiratory tract irritation. May cause blood abnormalities. Possible risk of harm to the unborn child. May cause cancer based on animal studies. May cause cardiac disturbances. May cause liver and kidney damage. May cause central nervous system effects. This product contains lead, a chemical known to the state of California to cause cancer. May cause reproductive and fetal effects.
Target Organs: Blood, kidneys, central nervous system, liver, cardiovascular system, blood forming organs, reproductive system.


Potential Health Effects
Eye: May cause eye irritation. Causes eye irritation and possible injury.
Skin: May cause skin irritation. Causes skin irritation.
Ingestion: Harmful if swallowed. Causes gastrointestinal irritation with nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. May cause liver and kidney damage. May cause cardiac disturbances. Exposure may cause anemia and other blood abnormalities. Ingestion of lead compounds can produce symptoms of lead poisoning. Symptoms of lead poisoning or plumbism include weakness, weight loss, lassitude, insomnia, and hypotension. It also includes constipation, anorexia, abdominal discomfort and colic. Acute lead poisoning can cause muscle weakness, "lead line" on the gums, metallic taste, definite loss of appetite, insomnia, dizziness, high lead levels in blood and urine with shock, coma and death in extreme cases. Many lead compounds can cause toxic effects in the blood-forming organs, kidneys, and central nervous
Inhalation: Harmful if inhaled. Causes respiratory tract irritation. Inhalation of fumes may cause metal fume fever, which is characterized by flu-like symptoms with metallic taste, fever, chills, cough, weakness, chest pain, muscle pain and increased white blood cell count. May cause effects similar to those described for ingestion. May cause anemia. May cause cardiac abnormalities.
Chronic: May cause liver and kidney damage. May cause cancer in humans. Chronic exposure to lead may result in plumbism which is characterized by lead line in gum, headache, muscle weakness, mental changes. Chronic expsoure to lead may cause adverse effects on human reproduction, embryonic and fetal development and postnatal (e.g., mental) development.

Section 4 - First Aid Measures


Eyes: Immediately 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. Wash clothing before reuse.
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 breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical aid. Do NOT use mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. If breathing has ceased apply artificial respiration using oxygen and a suitable mechanical device such as a bag and a mask.
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. During a fire, irritating and highly toxic gases may be generated by thermal decomposition or combustion. Containers may explode when heated. Non-combustible, substance itself does not burn but may decompose upon heating to produce irritating, corrosive and/or toxic fumes. Runoff from fire control or dilution water may cause pollution.
Extinguishing Media: Use agent most appropriate to extinguish fire. For small fires, use dry chemical, carbon dioxide, or water spray. For large fires, use water spray, fog or regular foam.

Section 7 - Handling and Storage


Handling: Wash thoroughly after handling. Remove contaminated clothing and wash before reuse. Use with adequate ventilation. Minimize dust generation and accumulation. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing. Keep container tightly closed. Avoid ingestion and inhalation.
Storage: Store in a cool place in the original container and protect from sunlight. Store in a tightly closed container. Keep from contact with oxidizing materials.

Section 8 - Exposure Controls, Personal Protection


Engineering Controls: Facilities storing or utilizing this material should be equipped with an eyewash facility and a safety shower. Use adequate ventilation to keep airborne concentrations low.

Carcinogenicity:
CAS# 10101-63-0:


Epidemiology: Epidemiological studies have not shown a relationship between lead exposure and the incidence of cancer in lead workers. A study involving battery plant workers showed a significant rise in the standardized mortatility ratio for gastric and lung cancerIARC has concluded that the evidence for carcinogenicity of lead to humans is inadequate although there is sufficient evidence of carcinogenicity of some lead salts to animals.Repeated exposure to lead has caused many toxic effects including: neurological changes, kidney damage, and blood abnormalities.
Teratogenicity: Teratogenic effects have occurred in humans.
Reproductive Effects: Similar compounds have shown adverse reproductive effects.
Mutagenicity: Mutagenic effects have occurred in experimental animals.
Neurotoxicity: Repeated exposure to lead has caused neurological changes.
