Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:NO IARC:YES OSHA:NO
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:HAZARDOUS EXPOSURE CAN OCCUR ONLY WHEN
PRODUCT IS HEATED ABOVE THE MELTING POINT, OXIDIZED OR OTHERWISE
PROCESSED OR DAMAGED TO CREATE DUST, VAPOR OR FUME. INHALATION:DUST
OR FUMES MAY CAUSE IRRITATIO N OF UPPER RESPIRATORY TRACT AND
LUNGS.INGESTION:MAY CAUSE ABDOMINAL PAIN. THIS MAY LEAD RAPIDLY TO
SYSTEMIC TOXICITY AND MUST BE TREATED BY A PHYSICIAN. SKIN:NOT
ABSORBED THROUGH THE SKIN. EYES:MAY C AUSE IRRITATION.
CHRONIC:ANEMIA, NEUROPATHY, PARTICULARLY OF THE MOTOR NERVES, WITH
WRIST DROP; KIDNEY DAMAGE; REPRODUCTIVE CHANGES IN BOTH MALES AND
FEMALES.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:CONTAINS LEAD. ARSENIC IS LESS THAN 0.10
%.
Effects of Overexposure:SYMPTOMS OF TOXICITY INCLUDE HEADACHE, FATIGUE,
ABDOMINAL PAIN, LOSS OF APPETITE, MUSCULAR ACHES AND WEAKNESS,
SLEEP DISTURBANCES AND IRRITABILITY.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:LEAD AND ITS COMPOUNDS CAN
AGGRAVATE SOME FORMS OF KIDNEY, LIVER AND NEUROLOGIC DISEASES.

First Aid:INHALATION - LEAD: REMOVE FROM EXPOSURE, GARGLE, WASH NOSE
AND LIPS; CONSULT PHYSICIAN. INGESTION - LEAD: CONSULT PHYSICIAN
IMMEDIATELY. SKIN - LEAD: WASH IMMEDIATELY WITH SOAP AND WATER.
