Additional<br />
information<br />
Oxidation of lead tends to colour the surface. When brilliant liquid cools down, the following<br />
colours show successively: yellow, brown, red, violet, blue, greenish, grey. The sooner these<br />
colours appear, the higher the oxidation rate. Under influence of time and atmospheric<br />
conditions, the grey may turn to white.<br />
Precautions: Extreme exposure (inhaling or oral intake) to lead containing dust or smoke can<br />
lead to different physical complaints. Good ventilation and other measures must be provided in<br />
order to keep lead concentration in the air below the tolerated limits. Good personal hygiene is<br />
strongly recommended.<br />
