SPECIAL FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES:
IF INVOLVED IN FIRE, USE FULL PROTECTIVE CLOTHING AND NIOSHA/MSHA APPROVED
SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS OPERATED IN A POSITIVE-PRESSURE MODE.
UNUSUAL FIRE & EXPLOSION HAZARDS:
THE SOLID METAL IS NOT A FIRE HAZARD. HOWEVER, DUST GENERATED FROM
PROCESSING OPERATIONS MAY PRESENT A MODERATE FIRE OR EXPLOSION HAZARD.
| SECTION V REACTIVITY DATA | |
STABILITY: STABLE
CONDITIONS TO AVOID: NOT APPLICABLE
INCOMPATIBILITY:
STRONG OXIDIZERS, HYDROGEN PEROXIDE, CHLORINE, TURPENTINE, ACTIVE
METALS - SODIUM, POTASSIUM. POWERED LEAD FUSED WITH AMMONIUM NITRATE MAY
CAUSE A VIOLENT REACTION. NEVER MIX MOLTEN METAL WITH WATER - IT WILL
EXPLODE.
HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS:
AT TEMPERATURES ABOVE THE MELTING POINT METAL OXIDE FUMES MAY BE EVOLVED.
HAZARDOUS POLYMERIZATION: WILL NOT OCCUR.
| SECTION VI HEALTH HAZARD DATA | |
NOTE:
EXPOSURE TO THE SOLID FORM OF THIS PRODUCT PRESENTS FEW HEALTH HAZARDS IN
ITSELF. HOWEVER, NORMAL HANDLING OR PROCESSING OF THIS MATERIAL MAY RESULT
IN EXPOSURE TO PRODUCT COMPOUNDS AND/OR DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS, WHICH MAY
PRESENT A POTENTIAL HEALTH HAZARD.
ROUTES OF ENTRY: DUST/FUME INHALATION; DUST INGESTION.
SYMPTOMS & EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE:
CHRONIC (PROLONGED) OVEREXPOSURE TO LEAD CAN RESULT IN SYSTEMIC LEAD
POISONING WITH SYMPTOMS OF METALLIC TASTE, ANEMIA, INSOMNIA, WEAKNESS,
CONSTIPATION, ABDOMINAL PAIN, GASTROINTESTINAL DISORDERS, JOINT AND MUSCLE
PAINS, AND MUSCULAR WEAKNESS, AND MAY CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE BLOOD FORMING,
NERVOUS, KIDNEYS AND REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEMS. DAMAGE MAY INCLUDE REDUCED
FERTILITY IN BOTH MEN AND WOMEN, DAMAGE TO THE FETUS OF THE EXPOSED
PREGNANT WOMEN, ANEMIA, MUSCULAR WEAKNESS & KIDNEY DYSFUNCTION. CHRONIC
(PROLONGED) OVEREXPOSURE TO TIN CAN RESULT IN BENIGN PNEUMOCONIOSIS
(STANNOIS). THIS FORM OF PNEUMOCONIOSIS PRODUCES PROGRESSIVE X-RAY
CHANGES OF THE LUNGS AS LONG AS EXPOSURE EXISTS, BUT THERE IS NO
DISTINCTIVE FIBROSIS, NO EVIDENCE OF DISABILITY AND NO SPECIAL
COMPLICATING FACTORS.
ACUTE (SEVERE SHORT-TERM) OVEREXPOSURE TO LEAD MAY LEAD TO CENTRAL NERVOUS
SYSTEM DISORDERS, CHARACTERIZED BY DROWSINESS, SEIZURES, COMA & DEATH. IT
SHOULD BE RECOGNIZED THAT EXPOSURES OF THIS MAGNITUDE IN AN INDUSTRIAL
ENVIRONMENT ARE EXTREMELY UNLIKELY. ACUTE (SEVERE SHORT-TERM) OVEREXPOSURE
TO TIN CAN CAUSE IRRITATION OF THE EYES, SKIN, MUCOUS MEMBRANES AND
RESPIRATORY SYSTEM. ACUTE OVEREXPOSURE TO TIN CAN CAUSE IRRITATION OF THE
EYES, SKIN MUCOUS MEMBRANES AND RESPIRATORY SYSTEM.
MEDICAL CONDITIONS POSSIBLY AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE:
PRE-EXISTING CONDITIONS OF THE LUNGS, DISEASES OF THE BLOOD AND BLOOD
FORMING ORGANS, KIDNEYS, NERVOUS AND POSSIBLY REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEMS.
CARCINOGENITY:
NOT LISTED AS A CARCINOGEN BY NTP, OSHA, ACGIH; IARC CLASSIFIES "LEAD AND
ITS COMPOUNDS" AS A GROUP 2B CARCINOGEN (POSSIBLY CARCINOGENIC TO HUMANS).
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
IN INDUSTRIAL/COMMERCIAL PROCESSING OPERATIONS, PRE-EMPLOYMENT MEDICAL
EVALUATIONS ARE RECOMMENDED FOR LARGE USERS OF THIS PRODUCT (REQUIRED AT
CONTAMINANT EXPOSURE LEVELS EXCEEDING THE LEAD AL - SEE U.S. OSHA LEAD
STANDARD, 29 CFR 1910.1025). ATTENTION SHOULD BE DIRECTED TO SKIN, EYES,
RESPIRATORY TRACT, BLOOD, KIDNEYS, PULMONARY FUNCTION AND NEUROLOGICAL
HEALTH.
PERIODIC MEDICAL EXAMINATIONS SHOULD BE REPEATED ON AN ANNUAL BASIS FOR
THOSE EMPLOYEES EXPOSED TO POTENTIALLY HAZARDOUS LEVELS OF THIS PRODUCT.
PLEASE CONSULT THE U.S. OSHA LEAD STANDARD, 29 CFR 1910.1025 FOR SPECIFIC
GUIDANCE; PERIODIC MEDICAL EXAMINATIONS ARE REQUIRED UNDER CERTAIN
CIRCUMSTANCES.
U.S. OSHA BIOLOGICAL LIMIT FOR BLOOD LEAD LEVEL IS A 3 SAMPLE/6 MONTH
AVERAGE OF 50 MCG PER 100 G (OR HIGHER) OF WHOLE BLOOD AND/OR TWO (2)
CONSECUTIVE SAMPLES OF 60 MCG PER 100 G (OR HIGHER). SEE U.S. OSHA LEAD
STANDARD, 29 CFR 1910.1025 FOR FURTHER INFORMATION.
LEAD AND ITS COMPOUNDS HAVE TENTATIVELY BEEN CLASSED BY THE USEPA
CARCINOGEN ASSESSMENT GROUP AS A GROUP B2 CARCINOGEN (PROBABLE HUMAN
CARCINOGEN - A COMBINATION OF SUFFICIENT EVIDENCE IN ANIMALS AND
INADEQUATE DATA FOR HUMANS).
IARC LISTS LEAD AND ITS COMPOUNDS AS A TERATOGEN.
EMERGENCY & FIRST AID PROCEDURES:
SKIN:
NORMAL HYGIENE AND FIRST AID PROCEDURES - WASH WITH SOAP AND WATER. IF
IRRITATION DEVELOPS OR PERSISTS OBTAIN MEDICAL ATTENTION.
EYES:
FLUSH WELL WITH RUNNING WATER TO REMOVE PARTICULATE. IF IRRITATION
PERSISTS OBTAIN MEDICAL ATTENTION.
ACUTE INHALATION:
REMOVE FROM EXPOSURE. OBTAIN IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION. IF BREATHING
HAS STOPPED, INITIATE ARTIFICIAL RESUSCITATION.
INGESTION:
GIVE WATER; INDUCE VOMITING ONLY IN A CONSCIOUS NON-CONVULSING
INDIVIDUAL; OBTAIN IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION.
CALIFORNIA NOTIFICATION:
WARNING!
THIS PRODUCT CONTAINS A CHEMICAL KNOWN TO THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA TO
CAUSE CANCER AND BIRTH DEFECTS (OR OTHER REPRODUCTIVE HARM).
NOTICE!
THIS INFORMATIONAL WARNING MUST BE TRANSFERRED WITH THE PRODUCT, TO ALL
DOWNSTREAM USERS OF THIS PRODUCT.
| SECTION VII PROTECTION MEASURES | |
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION:
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION IS REQUIRED WHERE AIRBORNE EXPOSURES EXCEED U.S.
OSHA/ACGIH PERMISSIBLE AIR CONCENTRATIONS. RESPIRATOR SELECTION SHALL BE
MADE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE U.S. OSHA RESPIRATORY PROTECTION STANDARD,
29 CFR 1910.134.
VENTILATION:
GOOD GENERAL DILUTION VENTILATION, OR VENTILATION, AS DESCRIBED IN
"INDUSTRIAL VENTILATION, A MANUAL OF RECOMMENDED PRACTICE," BY THE
AMERICAN CONFERENCE OF GOVERNMENTAL INDUSTRIAL HYGIENISTS, IS RECOMMENDED
TO MAINTAIN EXPOSURE LEVELS BELOW THE PERMISSIBLE EXPOSURE LIMITS (PEL'S)
OR THRESHOLD LIMIT VALUES (TLV'S) SPECIFIED BY U.S. OSHA OR OTHER LOCAL OR
STATE REGULATIONS.
PROTECTIVE GLOVES:
RECOMMENDED FOR PROLONGED CONTACT/HEAT. REQUIRED ABOVE THE LEAD PEL.
EYE PROTECTION:
SAFETY GLASSES OR GOGGLES ARE RECOMMENDED WHERE THE POSSIBILITY EXISTS OF
GETTING DUST PARTICLES IN THE EYES. SAFETY GLASSES OR GOGGLES WITH FACE
SHIELD ARE RECOMMENDED AROUND MOLTEN METAL.
OTHER PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT:
FULL PROTECTIVE CLOTHING AND SHOES ARE REQUIRED FOR EMPLOYEE EXPOSURE
ABOVE THE LEAD PEL. OTHER SAFETY EQUIPMENT SHOULD BE WORN AS APPROPRIATE
FOR THE WORK ENVIRONMENT. KEEP WORK CLOTHING SEPARATE FROM STREET CLOTHES.
WORK/HYGIENIC PRACTICES:
DO NOT PERMIT EATING, DRINKING, OR THE USE OF COSMETICS OR TOBACCO
PRODUCTS WHILE HANDLING OR PROCESSING MATERIAL OR IN PRODUCT WORK AREAS.
PRACTICE GOOD PERSONAL HYGIENE PROCEDURES. WASH HANDS AND FACE THOROUGHLY
BEFORE EATING, DRINKING, APPLYING COSMETICS OR USING TOBACCO PRODUCTS.
FULL PROTECTIVE CLOTHING IS REQUIRED TO WORN BY WORKERS EXPOSED TO
CONCENTRATIONS OF LEAD/DUST FUME ABOVE THE PEL, AND SHOWERING IS REQUIRED
BEFORE CHANGING INTO STREET CLOTHES. WORK CLOTHES AND EQUIPMENT SHOULD
REMAIN IN DESIGNATED PRODUCT USE AREAS. AVOID INHALATION AND INGESTION
OF PRODUCT, AND ACTIVITIES WHICH GENERATE DUST OR FUME. KEEP
MELTING/SOLDERING TEMPERATURES AS LOW AS POSSIBLE TO MINIMIZE THE
GENERATION OF FUME.
| SECTION VIII PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFE HANDLING & USE | |
PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN IN HANDLING & STORING:
PRACTICE GOOD HOUSEKEEPING PROCEDURES TO PREVENT DUST ACCUMULATIONS. KEEP
MATERIAL DRY. AVOID STORAGE NEAR INCOMPATIBLE MATERIALS (SEE SECTION V).
KEEP PRODUCT AWAY FROM CHILDREN AND THEIR ENVIRONMENT, FEED PRODUCTS,
FOOD PRODUCTS AND DOMESTIC ANIMALS.
OTHER PRECAUTIONS:
SPECIAL ATTENTION IS DRAWN TO THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE U.S. OSHA LEAD
STANDARD 1910.1025 AND RESPIRATORY STANDARD 1910.134 SHOULD AIRBORNE
EXPOSURES EXCEED THE U.S. OSHA ACTION LEVEL (AL) OR (PEL). PROTECT PRODUCT
FROM INADVERTENT CONTAMINATION. INADVERTENT CONTAMINANTS TO PRODUCT SUCH
AS MOISTURE, ICE, SNOW, GREASE OR OIL CAN CAUSE AN EXPLOSION WHEN CHARGED
TO A MOLTEN METAL BATH OR MELTING FURNACE (PREHEATING METAL WILL REMOVE
MOISTURE FROM PRODUCT).
| SECTION IX SPILL OR LEAK PROCEDURES | |
SPILL OR LEAK PROCEDURES:
1. MATERIAL IN DUST FORM-MINIMIZE EXPOSURE. CLEAN UP USING DUSTLESS
METHODS (I.E. HEPA VACUUM). DO NOT USE COMPRESSED AIR.
2. PLACE IN CLOSED LABELED CONTAINERS FOR RECYCLING OR DISPOSAL.
3. KEEP OUT OF WATERWAYS.
NOTE:
CLEANUP PERSONNEL SHOULD WEAR PROTECTIVE CLOTHING AND RESPIRATORY
PROTECTION WHERE DUST/FUME EXPOSURE EXISTS.
OTHER PROCEDURES:
FOR LARGE PRODUCT PURCHASERS, OR INVOLVING LARGE PRODUCT QUANTITIES, WE
RECOMMEND THAT THE PURCHASER ESTABLISH A SPILL PREVENTION, CONTROL AND
COUNTER MEASURE PLAN. THIS PLAN SHOULD INCLUDE PROCEDURES FOR PROPER
STORAGE AS WELL AS CLEAN UP OF SPILLS OR LEAKS. THE PROCEDURES SHOULD
CONFORM TO SAFE PRACTICES AND PROVIDE FOR PROPER RECOVERY AND/OR DISPOSAL.
DEPENDING ON THE QUANTITY SPILLED, NOTIFICATION TO THE U.S. NATIONAL
RESPONSE CENTER (800-424-8802) MAY BE REQUIRED IN CASE OF HAZARDOUS
SUBSTANCES. (SEE USEPA AND USDOT REGULATIONS: ALSO VARIOUS STATES AND
LOCAL REGULATIONS.)
WASTE DISPOSAL METHODS:
MAY HAVE VALUE ON A RECYCLED BASIS. IF DISPOSED OF, DISPOSE OF IN A
PERMITTED DISPOSAL SITE IN ACCORDANCE WITH ALL FEDERAL, STATE AND LOCAL
DISPOSAL OR DISCHARGE REGULATIONS.
