Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:ACUTE-LEAD MAY CAUSE GI UPSET,LOSS OF
    APPETITE,DIARRHEA,CONSTIPATION,CRAMPING,LACK OF SLEEP &
    FATIGUE.CONTACT WITH SULFURIC ACID MAY LEAD TO EYE,SKIN &
    RESPIRATORY TRACT IRRITATION,CORNEAL & LUNG DAMA GE.CHRONIC-LEAD
    MAY CAUSE ANEMIA,KIDNEY& NERVOUS SYSTEM DAMAGE.ACID CAN CAUSE
    BRONCHITIS,EROSION OF TOOTH ENAMEL.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:LEAD AND ARSENIC ARE POSSIBLY
    CARCINOGENIC TO HUMAN (MSDS).
Effects of Overexposure:LEAD MAY CAUSE GI UPSET, LOSS OF APPETITE,
    DIARRHEA, CONSTIPATION, CRAMPING, LACK OF SLEEP & FATIGUE. CONTACT
    WITH SULFURIC ACID MAY LEAD TO EYE, SKIN & RESPIRATORY TRACT
    IRRITATION, CORNEAL & LUNG DA MAGE.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:EXPOSURE TO SULFURIC ACID MIST MAY
    AGGRAVATE PULMONARY CONDITIONS AND SKIN DISEASES SUCH AS ECZEMA AND
    CONTACT DERMATITIS. LEAD AND ITS COMPOUNDS CAN AGGRAVATE KIDNEY,
    LIVER & NEUROLOGIC DISEASES.

=======================  First Aid Measures  =======================

First Aid:OBTAIN MEDICAL ATTENTION IN ALL CASES OF EXPOSURE.
    EYES/SKIN:FLUSH WITH WATER FOR 15 MINUTES. KEEP EYELIDS OPEN.
    INHALED:MOVE TO FRESH AIR. ORAL:DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. CALL
    PHYSICIAN IMMEDIATELY.
