| Carcinogenicity: | NTP? NO | IARC? NO | OSHA Regulated? YES |
| Signs And Symptoms of Exposure:
INGESTION: Severe damage to internal organs (esophagus & pylorus) will occur if swallowed in large quantities. Lead is suspected of causing cancer in the lung & kidney in humans. Prior to cancer, the symptoms of nephritis, neuritis, encephalopathy, anemia, intestinal colic, marked constipation, arteriosclerosis, lead-line of gums can appear as warning of worker exposure. INHALATION: Dust from dried down product can cause injury to respiratory tract. Severe exposure can cause lung damage. SKIN CONTACT: prolonged contact causes burns, skin irritation with discomfort with rash. EYE CONTACT: Will cause eye irritation with discomfort, tearing or blurring of vision. |
|||
| Medical Conditions Generally
Aggravated By Exposure:
Advanced state of lead poisoning can cause loss of appetite, constipation, nausea, vomiting, jaundice, premature aging, weight loss, lethargy. |
|||
| Emergency And First Aid
Procedures:
INGESTION: Do not induce vomiting. If conscious, dilute by giving large quantities of water or milk. Call a physician immediately. INHALATION: If excess dust from dried product is inhaled, remove to fresh air; if not breathing, give artificial respiration preferably mouth to mouth. If breathing is difficult give oxygen. Call a physician. SKIN CONTACT: Wash affected skin area with soapy water. Remove contaminated clothing. If burn or rash appears consult a physician. EYE CONTACT: Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for 15 minutes. Consult a physician. |
