| SECTION 3: Hazards Identification | |
|---|---|
| Emergency Overview: | Harmful by inhalation and if swallowed. May cause cancer. Danger of cumulative effects. |
| Primary Routes of Exposure: | Ingestion, skin, inhalation of dust. |
| Eye Contact: | May cause severe irritation of the eyes. |
| Skin Contact: | May cause severe irritation of the skin. |
| Inhalation: | Harmful by inhalation. Large dust exposure may cause encephalopathy, then seizures, coma, and cardio respiratory arrest. |
| Ingestion: | Harmful if swallowed. Ingestion may lead to dizziness, abdominal cramps, vomiting, bloody diarrhea, weakness, and convulsions. |
| Acute Health Effects: | Exposure may cause abdominal pain, loss of appetite, muscle weakness, headache, joint pain, metallic taste, and encephalopathy (swelling of the brain). |
| Chronic Health Effects: | Danger of cumulative effects. May cause harm to the unborn child. Possible risk of impaired fertility. The chronic effects of lead poisoning include diarrhea, loss of appetite, muscle pain, headache, dizziness, anemia, brain damage, and reproductive disorders. |
| NTP: | Yes |
| IARC: | Yes |
| OSHA: | No |
| SECTION 4: First Aid Measures | |
|---|---|
| Eye Exposure: | Immediately flush the eyes with copious amounts of water for at least 10-15 minutes. A victim may need assistance in keeping their eye lids open. Get immediate medical attention. |
| Skin Exposure: | Wash the affected area with soap and water. Remove contaminated clothes if necessary. Seek medical assistance if irritation persists. |
| Inhalation: | Remove the victim to fresh air. Closely monitor the victim for signs of respiratory problems, such as difficulty in breathing, coughing, wheezing, or pain. In such cases seek immediate medical assistance. |
| Ingestion: | Seek medical attention immediately. Keep the victim calm. Give the victim water (only if conscious). |
| SECTION 5: Fire Fighting Measures | |
|---|---|
| Flash Point: | not applicable |
| Autoignition Temperature: | none |
| Explosion Limits: | none |
| Extinguishing Medium: | carbon dioxide, dry powder or foam |
| Special Fire Fighting Procedures: | If involved in a fire, fire fighters should be equipped with a NIOSH approved positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing. |
| Hazardous Combustion and Decomposion Products: | If involved in a fire this material may emit toxic organic fumes and toxic lead oxide dust. |
| Unusual Fire or Explosion Hazards: | Lead acetate is a strong oxidant. Contact with combustible material may cause fire. |
| SECTION 6: Accidental Release Measures | |
|---|---|
| Spill and Leak Procedures: | Small spills can be mixed with ground limestone, calcium carbonate, or sodium carbonate and swept up. The mixture may foam as the released acetic acid is neutralized. |
| SECTION 7: Handling and Storage | |
|---|---|
| Handling and Storage: | Store in a tightly sealed container in a cold dry place. If container is left open, salt may adsorb moisture from the atmosphere and decompose. |
| SECTION 8: Exposure Controls and Personal Protection | |
|---|---|
| Eye Protection: | Always wear approved safety glasses when handling a chemical substance in the laboratory. |
| Skin Protection: | Wear appropriate chemical resistant gloves and protective clothing. |
| Ventilation: | Material may form a fine dust. If possible, handle the material in an efficient fume hood. |
| Respirator: | If in form of fine dust and ventilation is not available a respirator should be worn. The use of respirators requires a Respirator Protection Program to be in compliance with 29 CFR 1910.134. |
| Additional Protection: | No additional protection required. |
