Section 3: Hazards Identification

Routes of Entry

Inhalation: NO
Routes Skin: NO
Ingestion: YES

Ingestion

Symptoms which may be experienced from the ingestion of

lead dust or fume may not develop quickly, therefore there
may be no immediate effects from exposure. Increasing
amounts can build up in the body and may reach a point
where symptoms and disability may occur. The effects of
Acute Health Effects ingestion of inorganic lead may include decreased physical
stamina, fatigue, sleep disturbance, headaches, aching bones
and muscles, constipation, abdominal pains and decreased
appetite.

This product is listed by the EPA (EPA-B2 Sufficient evidence

from animal studies; inadequate evidence or no data from

epidemiological studies) and IARC (IARC-2B possibly
carcinogenic to humans: limited evidence in humans in the
absence of sufficient evidence in experimental animals) as a
suspected carcinogen.

Lead is a cumulative poison. Increasing amounts can build up

in the body and may reach a point where symptoms and
disability can occur. These may include anemia, pale skin, a
blue line at the gum margin, decreased hand-grip strength,
abdominal pain, severe constipation, nausea, vomiting, and
paralysis of the wrist joint. Prolonged exposure may result in
kidney damage. If the nervous system is affected, usually due
Chronic Health Effects
to very high exposures, the resulting effects include severe
headaches, convulsions, delirium, coma, and possibly death.
Continuous exposure may result in decreased fertility. Lead is
a teratogen. Elevated lead exposure of either parent before
pregnancy may increase the chances of miscarriage or birth
defects. Exposure of the mother during pregnancy may cause
birth defects.

Aggravation of Medical conditions that may be aggravated by exposure:

Pre-existing Conditions None anticipated.

Health effects described above are based on published

scientific information available for review and evaluated on
behalf of this product. Actual signs and symptoms
experienced may vary due to conditions at the time of
exposure.

Section 12: Ecological Information

Lead and its compounds have been known as metals since
ancient times. It occurs widely in the earth's crust and can be
dissolved from rocks and minerals into surface waters. Lead
and its compounds have a variety of commercial and
industrial uses, such as lead pipes, lead-lined containers for
corrosive gases and liquids, tetraethyl lead, paint pigments,
alloys in metallurgy, storage batteries, ceramics, electronic
devices, and plastics.

Acute toxic effects to excessive concentrations may include

death of some animals, birds, or fish, and possible death or
low growth rate in some plants. Acute effects are seen two to
four days after animals or plants come in contact with a toxic
Acute (short-term) chemical substance. Toxicity to aquatic life is affected by
Ecological Effects water hardness - the softer the water the greater the toxicity.
Lead and its compounds have high acute toxicity to aquatic
life. Insufficient data are available to evaluate or predict the
short-term effects of lead and its compounds to plants, birds,
or land animals.

Chronic toxic effects may include shortened lifespan,

reproductive problems, lower fertility, and changes in
appearance or behavior. Chronic effects can be seen long
Chronic (long-term) after first exposure(s) to a toxic chemical. Lead and its
Ecological Effects compounds have high chronic toxicity to aquatic life. Lead
causes nerve and behavioral effects in humans and could
cause similar long-term effects in birds and land animals
exposed to lead and its compounds.

Lead and its compounds range in their respective water

Water Solubility solubilities from highly soluble to practically insoluble. The
solubility of this material in cold water is 6.85 x 10-7 g/100cc.

Lead and its compounds are highly persistent in water, with a

Distribution and Persistence half-life greater than 200 days. The half-life of a pollutant is
in the Environment the amount of time it takes for one-half of the chemical to be
degraded.

Some substances increase in concentration, or bioaccumulate,

in living organisms as they breathe contaminated air, drink
contaminated water, or eat contaminated food. These
Bioaccumulation in chemicals can become concentrated in the tissues and
Aquatic Organisms internal organs of animals and humans. The concentration of
lead and its compounds found in fish tissues is expected to be
much higher than the average concentration of lead in the
water from which the fish was taken.

To protect freshwater aquatic life e[2.35 in (hardness) - 9.48]

never to exceed e[1.22 in (hardness) - 0.47]. To protect
Permissible Concentration
saltwater aquatic life 668 μg/l on a acute toxicity basis and
in Water
25μg/l on a chronic basis. To protect humans, maintain water
concentrations to less than 50 μg/l.

Section 13: Disposal Considerations

This product may be shipped in steel drums, plastic or steel
pails. All residual material must be emptied and the
Empty Containers containers recycled where possible. Where recycling is not
possible, containers must be disposed of in accordance with
dederal (country-specific), state, and local regulations.
