**** SECTION 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION ****
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Harmful by inhalation and if swallowed. Danger of cumulative
effects. Contact with combustible material may cause fire. May cause
harm to the unborn child. Possible risk of impaired fertility. Very
toxic to aquatic organisms, may cause long-term adverse effects in
the aquatic environment.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
Causes eye irritation.
Skin:
Causes skin irritation.
Ingestion:
Harmful if swallowed. Ingestion of nitrate containing compounds can
lead to methemoglobinemia. 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.
Inhalation:
Harmful if inhaled. Methemoglobinemia is characterized by dizziness,
drowsiness, headache, shortness of breath, cyanosis (bluish
discoloration of skin due to deficient oxygenation of the blood),
rapid heart rate and chocolate-brown blood. May cause
methemoglobinemia.
Chronic:
May cause methemoglobinemia, which is characterized by
chocolate-brown colored blood, headache, weakness, dizziness, breath
shortness, cyanosis (bluish skin due to deficient oxygenation of
blood), rapid heart rate, unconsciousness and possible death. 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:
In case of contact, immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for
at least 15 minutes. Get medical aid.
Skin:
In case of contact, flush skin with plenty of water. Remove
contaminated clothing and shoes. Get medical aid if irritation
develops and persists. Wash clothing before reuse.
Ingestion:
If swallowed, do not induce vomiting unless directed to do so by
medical personnel. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious
person. Get medical aid.
Inhalation:
If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial
respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical aid.
Notes to Physician:
**** 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. Strong oxidizer. Contact with other material may
cause fire. During a fire, irritating and highly toxic gases may be
generated by thermal decomposition or combustion.
Extinguishing Media:
Use water only!
**** SECTION 6 - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES ****
General Information: Use proper personal protective equipment as indicated
in Section 8.
Spills/Leaks:
Vacuum or sweep up material and place into a suitable disposal
container. Avoid generating dusty conditions. Provide ventilation.
Keep combustibles (wood, paper, oil, etc.,) away from spilled
material.
**** 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 from contact with clothing and other combustible
materials. Do not breathe dust. Inform laundry personnel of
contaminant's hazards.
Storage:
Do not store near combustible materials. Keep away from reducing
agents.
**** SECTION 8 - EXPOSURE CONTROLS, PERSONAL PROTECTION ****
Engineering Controls:
Use process enclosure, local exhaust ventilation, or other
engineering controls to control airborne levels below recommended
exposure limits. Facilities storing or utilizing this material should
be equipped with an eyewash facility and a safety shower.

NIOSH/MSHA or European Standard EN 149 approved
respirator if exposure limits are exceeded or if
irritation or other symptoms are experienced. Refer
to 29 CFR1910.1025 for regulations on respiratory
protection required during exposure to lead and lead
compounds.
