=====================  Hazards Identification  =====================

Routes of Entry: Inhalation:YES  Skin:YES  Ingestion:YES
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:INHALATION: LEAD CAN BE ABSORBED
    THROUGH RESPIRATORY SYSTEM. IRRITATION AND INCREASED LEAD BLOOD
    LEVELS MAY FOLLOW. INGESTION: POISON. LEAD POISONING CAN LEAD TO
    MUSCLE WEAKNESS, "LEAD LINE" ON GUMS,  HIGH LEAD LEVELS IN BLOOD
    AND URINE WITH SHOCK, COMA AND DEATH IN EXTREME CASES. NITRATES
    ENTERING THE BODY BY ANY ROUTE CAN CAUSE RESPIRATORY PARALYSIS.
    SKIN CONTACT: LEAD AND LEAD COMPOUNDS MAY BE A BSORBED THROUGH THE
    SKIN ON PROLONGED EXPOSURE. CONTACT OVER SHORT PERIODS MAY CAUSE
    SEVERE IRRITATION OR BURNS. EYE CONTACT: ABSORPTION CAN OCCUR BUT
    MORE COMMON HAZARDS ARE IRRITATION OR ABRASION.
Effects of Overexposure:INHALATION: LEAD: IRRITATION OF BRONCHIA AND
    LUNGS, METALLIC TASTE, CHEST AND ABDOMINAL PAIN. INGESTION:
    ABDOMINAL PAIN, SPASMS, NAUSEA, VOMITING, HEADACHE, MUSCLE
    WEAKNESS, "LEAD LINE" ON GUMS, METAL LIC TASTE, LOSS OF APPETITE,
    INSOMNIA, DIZZINESS, SHOCK, COMA, AND DEATH. NITRATES: HEADACHE,
    VOMITING, DIZZINESS, CYANOSIS, DECREASED BLOOD PRESSURE, AND
    RESPIRATORY PARALYSIS. SKIN CONTACT: SAME SYM PTOMS AS FOR
    INGESTION. EYE CONTACT: IRRITATION, ABRASION. CHRONIC EXPOSURE:
    LEAD IS A CUMULATIVE POISON AND EXPOSURE TO SMALL AMOUNTS CAN RAISE
    BODY'S CONTENT TO TOXIC LEVELS. SYMPTOMS ARE LIKE THOSE  OF
    INGESTION POISONING.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:PERSONS WITH PRE-EXISTING NERVE OR
    CIRCULATORY DISORDERS OR WITH SKIN OR EYE PROBLEMS MAY BE MORE
    SUSCEPTIBLE TO THE EFFECTS OF THIS SUBSTANCE.

=======================  First Aid Measures  =======================

First Aid:INHALATION: MOVE TO FRESH AIR. GET MEDICAL ATTENTION FOR ANY
    BREATHING DIFFICULTY. INGESTION: INDUCE VOMITING IMMEDIATELY BY
    GIVING TWO GLASSES OF WATER AND STICKING FINGER DOWN THROAT, CALL A
    PHYSICI AN IMMEDIATELY. NEVER GIVE ANYTHING BY MOUTH TO AN
    UNCONSCIOUS PERSON. SKIN EXPOSURE: WASH EXPOSED AREA WITH SOAP AND
    WATER, GET MEDICAL ADVICE IF IRRITATION DEVELOPS. EYE EXPOSURE:
    WASH EYES WITH PLE NTY OF WATER FOR AT LEAST 15 MINUTES, CALL A
    PHYSICIAN.

=====================  Fire Fighting Measures  =====================

Flash Point:NOT COMBUSTIBLE
Extinguishing Media:USE ANY MEANS SUITABLE FOR EXTINGUISHING
    SURROUNDING FIRE.
Fire Fighting Procedures:IN THE EVENT OF A FIRE, WEAR FULL PROTECTIVE
    CLOTHING AND NIOSH-APPROVED SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS WITH
    FULL FACEPIECE OPERATED IN THE PRESSURE DEMAND OR OTHER POSITIVE
    PRESSURE MODE. LEAD NI TRATE CAN DECOMPOSE TO FORM TOXIC OXIDES OF
    NITROGEN AND LEAD IN FIRE SITUATIONS.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:NONCOMBUSTIBLE BUT HAZARDOUS OXIDIZING
    MATERIAL.CONTACT WITH OXIDIZABLE MATERIAL MAY CAUSE IGNITION,
    VIOLENT COMBUSTION OR EXPLOSION. INCREASES FLAMMABILITY OF
    COMBUSTIBLE MATERIAL. STRONG OXIDANTS MA Y EXPLODE WHEN SHOCKED, OR
    EXPOSED TO HEAT, FLAME, FRICTION.  MAY ACT AS INITIATION SOURCE FOR
    DUST OR VAPOR EXPLOSIONS.

==================  Accidental Release Measures  ==================

Spill Release Procedures:CLEAN-UP PERSONNEL SHOULD WEAR PROTECTIVE
    CLOTHING AND APPROVED RESPIRATORS FOR PROTECTION FROM DUST.
    CAREFULLY SWEEP OR VACUUM UP SPILL, AVOID FORMATION OF DUST. PLACE
    IN CLOSED CONTAINER FOR DISPOSA L. DAMP OR WET CLEANING MAYBE
    USEFUL IN SUPRESSING DUST. DO NOT SEND LEAD RESIDUES TO SEWER. LEAD
    NOT SAVED FOR RECLAMINATION MAY BE SENT TO AN RCRC-APPROVED
    DISPOSAL FACILITY. RQ: 5,000 LBS.

======================	Handling and Storage  ======================

Handling and Storage Precautions:KEEP IN TIGHTLY CLOSED CONTAINER.
    STORE IN COOL, DRY, VENTILATED AREA AWAY FROM SOURCES OF HEAT OR
    IGNITION. PROTECT AGAINST PHYSICAL DAMAGE, STORE SEPARATELY FROM
    REACTIVE OR COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS, A ND OUT OF DIRECT SUNLIGHT,
    AREAS IN WHICH EXPOSURE TO LEAD MAY OCCUR SHOULD BE IDENTIFIED.
Other Precautions:WASTE DISPOSAL CONTINUED: "EXCESS SULFIDE IN THE
    FILTRATE MAY BE DESTROYED WITH HYPO-CHLORIDE, AND THE FINAL
    SOLUTION SENT TO A WASTE DISPOSAL FACILITY OR SEWER IF LOCAL
    ORDINANCES ALLOW. REPORTABLE Q UANTITY (RQ)(CWA/CERCLA): 5000 LBS."

=============  Exposure Controls/Personal Protection  =============

Respiratory Protection:IF THE PEL IS EXCEEDED, A HALF-MASK
    AIR-PURIFYING RESPIRATOR EQUIPPED WITH A HIGH-EFFICIENCY FILTER, OR
    ANY HALF-MASK SUPPLIED AIR RESPIRATOR MAY BE WORN UP TO
    CONCENTRATIONS OF 50 MG PER CUBIC METER  (1000X PEL). SEE OSHA
    STANDARD FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION.
Ventilation:A SYSTEM OF LOCAL AND/OR GENERAL EXHAUST IS RECOMMENDED TO
    KEEP EMPLOYEE EXPOSURES BELOW THE AIRBORN EXPOSURE LIMITS.
Protective Gloves:WEAR IMPERVIOUS GLOVES.
Eye Protection:USE CHEMICAL SAFETY GOGGLES AND/OR FULL FACE SHIELD FOR
    DUSTING OR SPLASHING.
Other Protective Equipment:WEAR IMPERVIOUS PROTECTIVE CLOTHING,
    INCLUDING BOOTS, GLOVES, LAB COAT, APRON OR COVERALLS TO PREVENT
    SKIN CONTACT.
Work Hygienic Practices:CONTACT LENSES SHOULD NOT BE WORN WHEN WORKING
    WITH THIS MATERIAL.
Supplemental Safety and Health
LOCAL EXHAUST VENTILATION IS GENERALLY PREFERRED BECAUSE IT CAN CONTROL
    THE EMISSIONS OF THE CONTAMINANT AT ITS SOURCE, PREVENTING
    DISPERSION OF IT INTO THE GENERAL WORK AREA. PLEASE REFER TO THE
    ACGI H DOCUMENT, "INDUSTRIAL VENTILATION, A MANUAL OF RECOMMENDED
    PRACTICES." MOST RECENT EDITION, FOR DETAILS.
