Routes of Entry: Inhalation:NO Skin:NO Ingestion:YES
Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:NO IARC:NO OSHA:NO
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:TARGET ORGANS:EYE, CNS, SKIN. ACUTE-
LEAD MAY CAUSE GI UPSET, DIARRHEA, CNS EFFECTS, CRAMPING & FATIGUE.
SULFURIC ACID MAY CAUSE EYE, SKIN & RESPIRATORY TRACT IRRITATION,
BURNS, CORNEAL & LUNG DAMAGE. CHRONIC- LEAD MAY CAUSE ANEMIA,
KIDNEY& NERVOUS SYSTEM DAMAGE. ACID CAN CAUSE BRONCHITIS, EROSION
OF TOOTH ENAMEL.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:NONE
Effects of Overexposure:GI UPSET, LOSS OF APPETITE, DIARRHEA,
CONSTIPATION, CRAMPING, LACK OF SLEEP, FATIGUE, IRRITATION, BURNS,
CORNEAL AND LUNG DAMAGE
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:LEAD AND ITS COMPOUNDS CAN
AGGRAVATE CHRONIC FORMS OF KIDNEY, LIVER AND NEUROLOGIC DISEASES.
CONTACT OF SULFURIC ACID WITH SKIN MAY AGGRAVATE DISEASES SUCH AS
ECZEMA. ACID MIST AGGRAVATES LUNG DISEASE

First Aid:OBTAIN MEDICAL ATTENTION IN ALL CASES OF EXPOSURE.
EYES/SKIN:IMMEDIATELY FLUSH WITH WATER FOR 15 MINUTES. KEEP EYELIDS
OPEN. INHALATION:MOVE TO FRESH AIR. INGESTION:DO NOT INDUCE
VOMITING. IF CONSCIOU S, DRINK LARGE AMOUNT OF WATER.
