Section 3 - Hazards
Identification |
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Appearance: white solid. Danger! Strong oxidizer. Contact
with other material may cause a fire. May cause eye and skin irritation. May
cause blood abnormalities. May cause kidney damage. May cause central nervous
system effects. May cause cancer based on animal studies. May cause harm to the
unborn child. Possible risk of impaired fertility. Danger of cumulative effects.
Harmful if inhaled or swallowed. Dangerous for the environment.
Target Organs: Blood, kidneys, central nervous system,
reproductive system.
Potential Health
Effects
Eye: Dust may cause mechanical
irritation.
Skin: Causes skin irritation.
Ingestion: Ingestion of lead compounds can cause toxic
effects in the blood-forming organs, kidneys and central nervous system.
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.
Inhalation: May cause methemoglobinemia, cyanosis (bluish
discoloration of skin due to deficient oxygenation of the blood), convulsions,
tachycardia, dyspnea (labored breathing), and death. May cause adverse central
nervous system effects including headache, convulsions, and possible death. May
cause kidney damage. May cause anemia.
Chronic: Chronic
inhalation and ingestion may cause effects similar to those of acute inhalation
and ingestion. Chronic exposure to lead may result in plumbism which is
characterized by lead line in gum, headache, muscle weakness, mental changes.
Lead salts have been reported to cross the placenta and induce embryo- and feto-
mortality. 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: Immediately flush skin with plenty of
water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes.
Get medical aid if irritation develops or persists.
Ingestion: If victim is conscious and alert, give 2-4
cupfuls of milk or water. Get medical aid immediately.
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 Dimercaprol or BAL (British
Anti-Lewisite) as a chelating agent should be determined by qualified medical
personnel. The use of d-Penicillamine 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. Combustion generates toxic fumes. Oxidizer. Greatly increases the burning
rate of combustible materials.
Extinguishing Media: Use
water only!

|
Section 6 -
Accidental Release Measures |
General
Information: Use proper personal protective equipment as indicated in
Section 8.
Spills/Leaks: Wear a self contained breathing
apparatus and appropriate personal protection. (See Exposure Controls, Personal
Protection section). Sweep up, then place into a suitable container for
disposal. Avoid generating dusty conditions.
|
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. Keep
from contact with clothing and other combustible materials.
Storage: Do not store near combustible materials. Store in
a tightly closed container. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from
incompatible substances.
