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

Routes of Entry: Inhalation:YES  Skin:NO  Ingestion:YES
Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:NO    IARC:NO	OSHA:NO
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:ACUTE: WHILE IT IS POSSIBLE FOR LEAD
    TAKEN IN EXTREMELY LARGE DOSES TO CAUSE ENCEPHALOPATHY, A BRAIN
    CONDITION THAT CAN RESULT IN SEIZURES, COMA AND DEATH, EXPOSURES OF
    THIS MAGNITUDE ARE HIGHLY UNUSU AL. CHRONIC: MAY RESULT IN DAMAGE
    TO THE BLOOD-FORMING, NERVOUS, URINARY AND REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEMS.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:NOT LISTED BY NTP, IARC OR OSHA AS A
    CARCINOGEN.  ARSENIC IS KNOWN TO BE CARCINOGENIC AND IS PRESENT IN
    TRACE AMOUNTS.
Effects of Overexposure:LOSS OF APPETITE, METALLIC TASTE IN THE MOUTH,
    ANXIETY, CONSTIPATION, NAUSEA, PALLOR, EXCESSIVE TIREDNESS,
    WEAKNESS, INSOMNIA, HEADACHE, NERVOUS IRRITABILITY, MUSCLE AND
    JOINT SORENESS, TREMORS, DIZZI NESS, ABDOMINAL PAIN, JOINT
    PAIN/WEAKNESS, WEIGHT LOSS,LEAD LINE ON GUMS, MENTAL CONFUSION.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:DISEASES OF THE BLOOD-FORMING,
    NERVOUS, URINARY AND REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEMS. EXPOSURE TO LEAD MAY
    RESULT IN INJURY TO A DEVELOPING FETUS. WOMEN OF CHILD BEARING AGE
    SHOULD AVOID EXPOSURE TO LEAD.

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

First Aid:IF A PERSON BREATHES IN A LARGE AMOUNT OF DUST OR FUMES,
    REMOVE FROM EXPOSURE. IF BREATHING HAS STOPPED, PERFORM ARTIFICIAL
    RESPIRATION. CALL A PHYSICIAN. IF LEAD HAS BEEN INGESTED, INDUCE

    PRODUCTION OF HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS. LEAD AND OTHER
    TOXIC HEAVY METAL FUMES WILL BE EVOLVED AT HIGH TEMPERATURE.

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

Spill Release Procedures:CLEAN UP BY VACUUMING TO MINIMIZE DUST
    EXPOSURE. PROVIDE CLEAN UP EMPLOYEES WITH RESPIRATORS IF THE
    POSSIBILITY FOR EXPOSURE TO DUST OR FUMES EXISTS.
