LUNGS & TEETH.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:CONTAINS LEAD.
Effects of Overexposure:LOSS OF APPETITE, DIARRHEA, CONSTIPATION,
CRAMPING, LACK OF SLEEP, FATIGUE, EYE, SKIN, GASTROINTESTINAL AND
RESPIRATORY TRACTS IRRITATION AND BURNS; CORNEAL, TEETH AND LUNG
DAMAGE
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:INORGANIC LEAD AND ITS COMPOUNDS
CAN AGGRAVATE CHRONIC FORMS OF KIDNEY, LIVER AND NEUROLOGIC
DISEASES. SULFURIC ACID MISTS CAN AGGRAVATE SKIN DISEASES SUCH AS
ECZEMA, DERMATITIS AND LUNG DISEASES.

First Aid:OBTAIN MEDICAL ATTENTION IMMEDIATELY IN ALL CASES OF
EXPOSURE. EYES/SKIN:FLUSH WITH WATER FOR 15 MINUTES. KEEP EYELIDS
