Signs & Symptoms of Exposure
Skin
Irritation, redness, itchiness.
Eyes
Irritation, redness, watering eyes, itchiness.
Respiratory
Breathing lead nitrate can irritate the nose and throat. Irritation of the bronchi and lungs
may also occur. It may be absorbed through the respiratory system. It may cause
methemoglobimnemia, cyanosis (bluish discoloration of skin due to deficient oxygenation
of blood), convulsions, tachycardia, chest pain due to dyspnea (labored breathing), and
death. It may also affect behavior/central nervous system and cause central nervous
system effects including headache, convulsions, and possible death. It may cause kidney
damage and anemia
Ingestion
Acute lead poisoning or plumbism is rare. Acute lead poisoning by ingestion may result in
lead colic, abdominal discomfort or cramps, lead line on the gums, anorexia (loss of
appetite)/weight loss, constipation, metallic taste. It may also affect behavior/central
nervous system and cause headache, lassitude, insomnia, muscle weakness, depression,
irritability, lassitude, dizziness, reduced memory, disturbed sleep.
