Inhalation Move to ventilated area. Obtain medical attention if experiencing effects of overexposure.2. Eyes Flush the eyes with copious quantities of cool running water for 15 minutes. Obtain immediate medical attention.3. Skin Wash area thoroughly with soap and water.4. Ingestion Do not induce vomiting. If conscious drink large amounts of water/milk. Obtain medical attention. Never give anything bymouth to an unconscious person.5. Lead Exposure May cause lassitude, constipation, anemia, nausea, vomiting, paralysis, and central nervous system depression. Greatestexposure comes from dust in the air and on hands when packing/unpacking, and during lead acid battery manufacturing.SECTION 5 – FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURESFlash Point – NotApplicableSpecial Fire FightingProceduresUnusual Fire andExplosion HazardsFlammable Limits in Air LowerUpper% by Volume N/AN/AExtinguishing Media – Dry Chemical or CO 2 Auto-Ignition - Not ApplicableTemperatureDo not use water on fires where molten metal is present. Use NIOSH/MSHA approved SCBA and full body protective equipmentoperated in positive pressure mode.Molten metals produce fumes and/or vapor that may be toxic or respiratory irritants. Product can react vigorously with strongoxidizing agents.SECTION 6 – ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURESProcedures for Cleanup: Avoid contact with any spilled material. Contain spill, isolate hazard area, and deny entry. Limit site access to emergency responders.Material should be vacuumed with HEPA filter or wet swept and stored in dry containers for later disposal. Do not use compressed air or dry sweeping as ameans of cleaning.Personal Precautions: Wear protective clothing and appropriate NIOSH/MSHA approved respirator. ANSI approved safety glasses with side shieldsrecommended.Environmental Precautions: Lead and its compounds are a severe threat to the environment. Contamination of water, soil and air should be prevented.SECTION 7 – HANDLING AND STORAGEPrecautions to be Takenin Handling and StorageOther PrecautionsStore away from reactive materials, open flames and sources of ignition as defined in Section 10 – Stability and Reactivity.GOOD PERSONAL HYGIENE AND WORK PRACTICES ARE MANDATORY. Refrain from eating, drinking or smoking in work areas.Thoroughly wash hands, face, neck and arms before eating, drinking and smoking. Work clothes and equipment should remain in designatedlead contaminated areas, and never taken home or laundered with personal clothing. Wash soiled clothing, work clothes, and equipmentbefore reuse.SECTION 8 – EXPOSURE CONTROLS AND PERSONAL PROTECTIONRespiratoryProtectionVentilationProtectiveGlovesOther ProtectiveClothing orEquipmentNIOSH approved respirator is required when the PEL is exceeded or employee experiences respiratory irritation. When exposure levels are unknown orwhen fire-fighting, wear a self-contained breathing apparatus with a full face-piece operated in positive pressure mode.Use adequate general or local exhaust ventilation to keep airborne concentration below the PEL.Rubber Gloves Eye Protection ANSI approved safety glasses with side shields recommended.Aprons, boots and protective clothing appropriate for an industrial environment. Ventilation, as described in the Industrial Ventilation Manual producedby the American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists, shall be provided in areas where exposures are above the PEL or TLV specified byOSHA or other local, state and federal regulations. Safety shower and eyewash.

Kidney damage, as well as anemia, can occur from acute exposure.CHRONIC:INHALATION/INGESTION: Prolonged exposure to lead and its compounds may produce many of the symptoms of short-term exposure and may also cause central nervoussystem damage, gastrointestinal disturbances, anemia, and wrist drop. Symptoms of central nervous system damage include fatigue, headaches, tremors, hypertension,hallucination, convulsions and delirium. Kidney dysfunction and possible injury has also been associated with chronic lead poisoning. Chronic overexposure to lead hasbeen implicated as a causative agent for the impairment of male and female reproductive capacity, but there is at present, no substantiation of the implication. Pregnantwomen should be protected from excessive exposure. Lead can cross the placental barrier and unborn children may suffer neurological damage or developmentalproblems due to excessive lead exposure in pregnant women.SECTION 12 - ECOLOGICAL INFORMATIONIn most surface water and groundwater, lead forms compounds with anions such as hydroxides, carbonates, sulfates, and phosphates, and precipitates out of the watercolumn. Lead may occur as sorbed ions or surface coatings on sediment mineral particles or may be carried in colloidal particles in surface water. Most lead is stronglyretained in soil, resulting in little mobility. Lead may be immobilized by ion exchange with hydrous oxides or clays or by chelation with humic or fulvic acids in the soil. Lead(dissolved phase) is bioaccumulated by plants and animals, both aquatic and terrestrial.SECTION 13 - DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONSDISPOSE IN ACCORDANCE WITH LOCAL, STATE AND FEDERAL REGULATIONS FOR LEAD AND LEAD COMPOUNDS.SECTION 14 - TRANSPORT INFORMATIONU.S. DOT PROPER SHIPPING NAME: UN3077, (RQ) Environmentally Hazardous Substances, solid, n.o.s.U.S. DOT HAZARD CLASS: 9U.S. DOT ID NUMBER: UN3077U.S. DOT PACKING GROUP: IIIU.S. DOT LABEL: Class 9SECTION 15 - REGULATORY INFORMATIONU.S. HAZARDOUS UNDER HAZARD COMMUNICATION STANDARD:LEAD – YESANTIMONY – YESARSENIC – YESLEAD SULFATE - YESINGREDIENTS LISTED ON TSCA INVENTORY: YES
