NTP: No
IARC: Yes
OSHA: Yes
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 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). Induce vomiting only if directed by medical personnel.
SECTION 5: Fire Fighting Measures
Flash Point: not applicable
Autoignition Temperature: 710°C (as dust)
Explosion Limits: not applicable
Extinguishing Medium: Class D metal fire agent, dry salt or sand.
Special Fire Fighting Procedures: If this product is involved in a fire, fire fighters should be equipped with a NIOSH approved positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus.
Hazardous Combustion and Decomposion Products: Burning metal will produce toxic fumes of lead oxide. May form flammable hydrogen if contact with water occurs.
Unusual Fire or Explosion Hazards: Combustible solid. Dust may create weakly explosive mixtures with air.
SECTION 6: Accidental Release Measures
Spill and Leak Procedures: In the case of a spill, the material should be covered with dry soda ash, limestone, or sand. Sweep up and place in a closed container.
SECTION 7: Handling and Storage
Handling and Storage: Store in a tightly sealed container.
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 protective clothing and gloves.
Ventilation: Material may contain a fine dust. If dust, handle the material in an efficient fume hood.
Respirator: If 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: Contaminated clothing should be managed in a way to prevent secondary exposure to toxic dust
