ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
LEAD SALTS HAVE BEEN REPORTED TO CROSS THE PLACENTA AND TO INDUCE
EMBRYO- AND FETO- MORTALITY. THEY ALSO HAVE TERATOGENIC EFFECT IN
SOME ANIMAL SPECIES. NO TERATOGENIC EFFECTS HAVE BEEN REPORTED WITH
EXPOSURE TO ORGANOMETALLIC LEAD COMPOUNDS. ADVERSE EFFECTS OF LEAD ON
HUMAN REPRODUCTION, EMBRYONIC AND FETAL DEVELOPMENT AND POSTNATAL
(E.G., MENTAL) DEVELOPMENT HAVE BEEN REPORTED. EXCESSIVE EXPOSURE CAN
AFFECT BLOOD, NERVOUS AND DIGESTIVE SYSTEMS. THE SYNTHESIS OF
HEMOGLOBIN IS INHIBITED AND RESULTS IN ANEMIA. IF LEFT UNTREATED,
NEUROMUSCULAR DYSFUNCTION, POSSIBLE PARALYSIS AND ENCEPHALOPATHY CAN
RESULT. ADDITIONAL SYMPTOMS OF OVEREXPOSURE INCLUDE: JOINT AND MUSCLE
PAIN, WEAKNESS OF THE EXTENSOR MUSCLES (FREQUENTLY THE HAND AND
WRIST), HEADACHE, DIZZINESS, ABDOMINAL PAIN, DIARRHEA, CONSTIPATION,
NAUSEA, VOMITING, BLUE LINE ON THE GUMS, INSOMNIA AND METALLIC TASTE.
HIGH BODY LEVELS PRODUCE INCREASED CEREBROSPINAL PRESSURE, BRAIN
DAMAGE, STUPOR LEADING TO COMA AND OFTEN DEATH.
