Potential Health Effects Inhalation:

MSDS 2557

Health = 1

Fire = 0

Reactivity = 0

Lead has been found to cause nerve damage, kidney damage, and birth defects. Lead is also a suspect cancer hazard (in animals). Silicon dioxide is a cancer hazard in humans. Inhalation (acute exposure) may cause coughing, shortness of breath, and respiratory tract irritation due to mechanical action. Absorption of large amounts of lead may cause a metallic taste, thirst, a burning sensation in the mouth and throat, salivation, abdominal pain with severe colic, vomiting, diarrhea of black or bloody stools, constipation, fatigue, irritability, memory loss, loss of concentration, delirium, visual failure, muscle pain and weakness, convulsions, and paralysis. Death may result from cardiorespiratory arrest. The fatal dose of absorbed lead is approximately 0.5 grams. Prolonged exposure to low levels of lead my result in an accumulation in body tissues and cause effects on the blood, nervous systems, heart, endocrine, immune systems, kidneys, and Page 1 of 5

reproduction. Early stages of lead poisoning include symptoms similar to those described in absorption of large amounts of lead. Skin Contact:

Skin contact may cause irritation by abrasion. Prolonged contact or repeated exposure may cause dermatitis.

Eye Contact:

Eye contact (acute exposure) may cause irritation due to abrasion and corneal necrosis.

Ingestion:

Absorption of large amounts of lead from the intestinal tract may cause effects as detailed in inhalation of lead. Prolonged or repeated exposure to low levels of lead may result in an accumulation in body tissues and adverse effects on the kidneys, heart, and blood and on the nervous, reproductive, endocrine, and immune systems as detailed in inhalation of lead.

4. FIRST AID MEASURES Inhalation:

If adverse effects occur, remove to uncontaminated area. If not breathing, give artificial respiration by qualified personnel. Get immediate medical attention.

Skin Contact:

Wash affected area with soap and water for at least 15 minutes. Get medical attention, if needed.

Eye Contact:

Immediately flush eyes, including under the eyelids, with copious amounts of water for at least 15 minutes. Get immediate medical attention.

Ingestion:

If a large amount is ingested, get medical attention.

5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES Fire and Explosion Hazards: Extinguishing Media:

6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES Occupational Release:

Disposal:

Collect spilled material in an appropriate container for disposal. Avoid generating dust. Lead is subject to California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986 (Proposition 65). Keep out of water supplies and sewers. Refer to Section 13, “Disposal Considerations”.

7. HANDLING AND STORAGE Storage: Safe Handling Precautions:

Store and handle in accordance with all current regulations and standards. Keep separated from incompatible substances. See Section 8, “Exposure Controls and Personal Protection”.

MSDS 2557

Ventilation:

Use local exhaust ventilation system. exposure limits.

Ensure compliance with applicable

Respirator:

The SRM is a particulate matter that requires inhalation protection by OSHA because the material’s average particulate size, as manufactured, is less than the inhalation average particulate size established by the ACGIH, Appendix D (particulates with average particulate sizes less than 100 micrometers require proper inhalation/respiratory protection). A respiratory protection program that meets OSHA’s 29 CFR 1910.134 and ANSI Z88.2 requirements must be followed if workplace conditions warrant a respirator. Refer to the “NIOSH Guide to the Selection and Use of Particulate Respirators Certified under 42 CFR 84” for selection and use of respirators certified by NIOSH. Page 3 of 5

Eye Protection:

Wear safety goggles. An eye wash station should be readily available near areas of use.

Personal Protection:

Wear appropriate protective clothing and chemically resistant gloves to prevent skin exposure.
