Other Information
P301+P312+P330 IF SWALLOWED: Call a POISON CENTER or doctor/physician if you feel unwell.
Rinse mouth.
P304+P340 IF INHALED: Remove victim to fresh air and keep at rest in a position comfortable for
breathing.
P308+P313 IF exposed or concerned: Get medical advice/attention.
High body levels produce increased cerebrospinal pressure, brain damage, and stupor leading to coma
and often death. Lead compounds can cause anorexia, vomiting, malaise, convulsions, and may leave
permanent brain damage.

Remove victim to fresh air. Keep warm and at rest. Seek medical advice if effects persist.
Ingestion
First Aid Facilities
Rinse mouth thoroughly with water immediately. Give plenty of water to drink. Do not induce vomiting.
Seek immediate medical assistance.
Remove contaminated clothes. Wash affected areas with copious quantities of water. OBTAIN
MEDICAL ATTENTION IMMEDIATELY
Immediately irrigate with copious quantity of water for at least 15 minutes. Eyelids to be held open.
Seek medical attention.
Maintain eyewash fountain and safety shower in work area.
Advice to Doctor
Treat symptomatically or consult a Poisons Information Centre.
Most important
symptoms/effects,
acute and delayed
The following applies to lead compounds in general: Due to the poor absorbability via the
gastrointestinal tract, only very high doses lead to acute cases of intoxication. After a latency period of
several hours: metallic taste, nausea, vomiting and colics occur, in many instances followed by shock.
Lead salts have been reported to cross the placenta and to induce embryo- and feto-mortality. Adverse
effects of lead on human reproduction, embryonic and fetal development, and postnatal (e.g., mental)
development have been reported.
For advice, contact a Poisons Information Centre (Phone eg Australia 13 1126New Zealand 0800 764
766) or a doctor at once.

May produce irritating, poisonous and/or corrosive gases such as lead/lead oxides.
Small fire: USE FLOODING QUANTITIES OF WATER.
Do not use dry chemicals, CO2 or foam.
If safe to do so, move undamaged containers from fire area.
Do not move cargo if cargo has been exposed to heat.
Large fire: Flood fire area with water from a protected position.
Cool containers with flooding quantities of water until well after fire is out - If impossible, withdraw from
area and let fire burn. Avoid getting water inside containers: a violent reaction may occur. Dam fire
control water for later disposal.
Oxidizer: Contact with combustible/organic material may cause fire. Fire or heat will produce irritating,
poisonous and/or corrosive gases. Runoff may pollute waterways.
2Z
Wear SCBA and chemical splash suit. Fully-encapsulating, gas-tight suits should be worn for maximum
Precautions in
connection with Fire protection. Structural firefighter's uniform is NOT effective for these materials.
6. Accidental release measures
Spills & Disposal
Print Date: 18/09/2013
In the event of spillage, avoid dust formation, sweep (using non sparking tools) or vacuum up and place
into tightly closed containers. Adhere to personal protective measures. Flush the remainder with plenty
of water. Label container and dispose of as hazardous waste.

Toxicity
Chronic Effects
Mutagenicity
Harmful if swallowed. Acute lead poisoning can lead to muscle weakness, loss of appetite, dizziness,
metallic taste, abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, headaches.
Harmful by inhalation. Lead can be absorbed through the respiratory system causing irritation to
bronchia and lungs. Symptoms include metallic taste, nausesa, vomiting, chest and abdominal pain and
increased lead blood levels may follow.
Causes irritation, redness and pain. Repeated or prolonged exposure may cause lead compounds to be
absorbed throught the skin with symptoms similar to ingestion exposure.
Causes irritation.
Lead compounds is evaluated in the IARC Monographs (Vol. 87in preparation) as Group 2A: Probably
carcinogenic to humans.
R61(1) Toxic to Reproduction-Developmental Category 1, Toxic - May cause harm to the unborn child Safe Work Aust.
R62(3) Toxic to Reproduction-Fertility Category 3, Harmful - Possible risk of impaired fertility - Safe
Work Aust.
Animal experiments suggest that the substance may lead to an impairment of reproductive performance
in men.
Many lead compounds have been identified as causing toxic effects in the blood-forming organs,
kidneys, central nervous system and reproductive system. Chronic uptake and excessive exposure
causes peripheral muscular weakness ('drop-wrist'), anaemia, and central-nervous and digestive system
disorders. The synthesis of hemoglobin is inhibited and results in anaemia. If left untreated,
neuromuscular dysfunction, possible paralysis, and encephalopathy can result. Additional symptoms of
overexposure include: joint and muscle pain, weakness of the extensor muscle (frequently abdominal
pain, diarrhea, constipation, nausea, vomiting, blue line on the gums, insomnia, and metallic taste.
Women of child-bearing age should not be exposed to the substance over longer periods of time
(observe critical threshold) as many lead compounds have an embryotoxic effect. Danger of cumulative
effects.
Evidence of mutagenic effects.
