Principle Routes of Exposure

EYES. SKIN. INHALATION. INGESTION. EYES. SKIN.

Potential health effects

EYE CONTACT: CORROSIVE, CONTACT CAUSES SEVERE EYE BURNS WHICH MAY RESULT IN PERMANENT TISSUE AND CORNEAL DAMAGE. SKIN CONTACT: CORROSIVE CAUSES SKIN BURNS AND SEVERE IRRITATION. SKIN ABSORPTION: TOXIC BY SKIN CONTACT. INHALATION: CORROSIVE. VAPOR AND AEROSOL ARE EXTREMELY IRRITATING AND DESTRUCTIVE TO THE RESPIRATORY TRACT. RISK OFPULMONARY EDEMA FROM PROLONGED EXPOSURE. INGESTION: CORROSIVE MATERIAL: INGESTION CAN CAUSE SERIOUS BURNS TO MOUTH, THROAT AND INTERNAL ORGANS. TARGET ORGANS: EYES. SKIN. RESPIRATORY SYSTEM. G.I. TRACT. REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM.KIDNEYS. SIGNS/SYMPTOMS: ACETIC ACID VAPOR IS VERY IRRITATING TO EYES AND MUCOUS MEMBRANES. CONTACT OF SOLID WITH EYES MAY CAUSE SERIOUS BURNS. SYMPTOMS OF ACUTE LEAD POISONING MAY INCLUDE METALLIC TASTE, THIRST, HEADACHE, NAUSEA, VOMITING, LOSS OF COORDINATION, CONVULSIONS AND COMA. CHRONIC EXPOSURE CAN CAUSE WEIGHT LOSS, ANAEMIA, & KIDNEY DAMAGE, AND CAN SERIOUSLY AFFECT THE CENTRAL AND PERIPHERAL NERVOUS SYSTEMS, CAUSING, E.G. RESTLESSNESS, IRRITABILITY, MEMORY LOSS. EFFECTS CAN BE CUMULATIVE AND, IN SERIOUS CASES, PERMANENT. LEAD(IV) ACETATE: . SKIN CONTACT: CORROSIVE EFFECT ON SKIN DUE TO PRESENCE OF ACETIC ACID. TARGET ORGANS: NONE REPORTED.
