SECTION II - HAZARD IDENTIFICATION
POISON! DANGER! MAY BE FATAL IF SWALLOWED OR INHALED. CAUSES IRRITATION TO
Emergency Overview:
SKIN, EYES AND RESPIRATORY TRACT. NEUROTOXIN. AFFECTS THE GUM TISSUE,
CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM, KIDNEYS, BLOOD AND REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM.
POSSIBLE CANCER HAZARD. MAY CAUSE CANCER BASED ON ANIMAL DATA. Risk of
cancer depends on duration and level of exposure.
Inhalation:
Can be Absorbed Through the Respiratory System. Local Irritation of Bronchia and Lungs can
Occur and, in Cases of Acute Exposure, Symptoms such as Metallic Taste, Chest and Abdominal
Pain, and Increased Lead Blood Levels may Follow. See also INGESTION.
Ingestion:
POISON! The Symptoms of Lead Poisoning Include Abdominal Pain and Spasms, Nausea,
Vomiting, Headache. Acute Poisoning can Lead to Muscle Weakness, 鈥渓ead line鈥? 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.
Skin:
Lead and Lead Compounds may be Absorbed through the Skin on Prolonged Exposure; the
Symptoms of Lead Poisoning Described for Ingestion Exposure may Occur. Contact Over Short
Periods may Cause Local Irritation, Redness and Pain.
Eye Contact:
Absorption can Occur Through Eye Tissues but the More Common Hazards are Local Irritation or
Abrasion.
Chronic Exposure:
Lead is a Cummulative Poison and Exposure Even to Small Amounts can Raise the Body鈥檚
Content to Toxic Levels. The Symptoms of Chronic Exposures are like Those of Ingestion
Poisoning; Restlessness, Irritability, Visual Disturbances, Hypertension and Gray Facial Color
May Also be Noted.
Persons with pre-existing kidney, nerve or circulatory disorders or with skin or eye problems may be
Aggravated by Exposure:
more susceptible to the effects of this substance.

Lead 95.0 to 100.0%
7439-92-1
SECTION IV - FIRST AID MEASURES
Inhalation: Remove to Fresh Air. If Not Breathing, Give Artificial Respiration. If Breathing is Difficult, Give
Oxygen. Get Medical Attention.
Ingestion: Induce Vomiting Immediately as Directed by Medical Personnel. Never Give Anything to an
Unconscious Person. Get Medical Attention.
Skin: In Case of Contact, Immediately Flush Skin with Plenty of Water for at Least 15 Minutes while
Removing Contaminated Clothing and Shoes. Wash Clothing and Shoes before Reuse.
Immediately Flush Eyes with Plenty of Water for at Least 15 Minutes, Lifting Upper and Lower

Fire: Not Considered to be a Fire Hazard. Powder / Dust is Flammable when Heated or Exposed to
Flame.
Explosion: Not Considered to be a Explosion Hazard.
Fire Extinguishing Media: Use any Means Suitable for Extinguishing Surrounding Fire. Do Not Allow Water Runoff to Enter
Sewers or Waterways.
Special Information: Evacuate Affected area, Avoid Smoke and Fumes. In the Event of Fire, Wear full Protective
Clothing and NIOSH-Approved Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus with Full Facepiece Operated
in the Pressure Demand or Other Positive Pressure Mode. Can Produce Toxic Lead Fumes at
Elevated Temperatures and Also React with Oxidizing Materials.
SECTION VI - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Ventilate area or Leak or Spill. Wear Appropriate Personal Protective Equipment as Specified in
Section 8. Sweep up and Containerize for Reclamation or Disposal. Vacuuming or Wet Sweeping
may be Use to Avoid Dust Dispersal.
SECTION VII - HANDLING AND STORAGE
Keep in a tightly closed container, stored in a cool, dry, ventilated area. Protect against physical
damage. Isolate from incompatible substances. Areas in which exposure to lead metal or lead
compounds may occur should be identified by signs or appropriate means, and access to the area
should be limited to authorized persons. Containers of this material may be hazardous when empty
since they retain product residues (dust, solids); observe all warnings and precautions listed for the
product.
SECTION VIII - EXPOSURE CONTROL / PERSONAL PROTECTION
Ventilation System: A System of Local and/or General Exhaust is Recommended to Keep Employee Exposures below
the Airborne Exposure Limits. Local Exhaust Ventilation is Generally Preferred because it can
Control the Emissions of the Contaminant at its Source, Preventing Dispersion of it into
the General Work Area.
OSHA - Permissible Exposure Limit (PEL): 0.05 mg/m3 (TWA) For Lead, Elemental and Inorganic
Airborne Exposure Limits:
Compounds, as Pb. ACGIH - Threshold Limit Value (TLV): 0.05 mg/m3 (TWA).
Personal Respirators: If the Exposure Limit is Exceeded, a Half-Face High Efficiency Dust/Mist Respirator may be Worn
(NIOSH APPROVED) for up to Ten Times the Exposure Limit or the Maximum use Concentration Specified by the
Appropriate Regulatory Agency or Respirator Supplier, Whichever is Lowest. A Full-Facepiece High
Efficiency Dust/Mist Respirator may be worn up to 50 Times the Exposure Limit, or the Maximum
Use Concentration Specified by the Appropriate Regulatory Agency, or Respirator Supplier,
Whichever is Lowest.
Skin Protection: Wear Impervious Protective Clothing, Including Boots, Gloves, Lab Coat, Apron or Coveralls, as
Eye Protection: Appropriate, to Prevent Skin Contact.
Use Chemical Safety Goggles. Maintain Eye Wash Fountain and Quick-Drench Facilities in Work
Area.
Other: Eating, drinking, and smoking should not be permitted in areas where solids or liquids containing
lead compounds are handled, processed, or stored.
