Health hazards

Information OSHA Effects of Overexposure Skin Contact: Contact may cause skin irritation. Material may be absorbed through the skin on prolonged exposure. Information Effects of Overexposure Skin Contact: Symptoms of poisoning are similar to those listed under ingestion. Eye Contact: Contact may be irritating to the eyes. Ingestion: Harmful or fatal if swallowed. Symptoms of lead poisoning include abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting and headache. Acute poisoning may also be evidenced by muscle weakness, discoloration of the gums, metallic taste, sharp loss of appetite, insomnia. Inhalation: Inhalation may irritate the nose, throat and upper respiratory tract. Lead can be absorbed through the respiratory system.

Potential chronic health

of Overexposure Lead is a cumulative poison with multiple exposures to even small amounts leading to lead poisoning over time. The symptoms of chronic poisoning are similar to acute ingestion poisoning with the additional possible symptoms of visual disturbances, hypertension and a gray color to the skin. Exposure Limits: OSHA PEL TWA STEL Ceiling Lead oxide (as Pb) 0.05 mg/m3 NE ACGIH TLV TWA STEL Ceiling Lead oxide (as Pb) 0.05 mg/m3 NE Toxicity Data: Lead oxide No information available.
