SECTION 2: Hazards identification

OSHA EMERGENCY OVERVIEW CAUTION! EXPLOSIVE/DEFLAGRATING ( FAST BURN RATE) PRODUCT. KEEP AWAY FROM HEAT. DO NOT SUBJECT TO MECHANICAL OR ELECTRICAL SHOCK. EXPLODING CARTRIDGES MAY EJECT SHRAPNEL AT HIGH VELOCITIES. PARTICLES FROM FIRING MAY BE HARMFUL IF INHALED. DO NOT TAKE INTERNALLY. COMPONENTS MAY HARM ENVIRONMENT. Individual cartridges may ignite if the primer is struck or if the cartridge is exposed to excess heat. Oxides of Barium, Lead, Antimony, Aluminum, Magnesium, Nitrogen, Carbon, and Sulfur. Lead and Antimony fumes may also be produced on thermal decomposition.

Potential health effects

INHALATION: Both pre and post ignition ingredients are hazardous and capable of producing long term health effects due primarily to the presence of zinc, lead, antimony in the product. While normal handling of the undetonated product poses little or no health hazards, one should avoid inhalation by wearing appropriate respiratory protection when exposed to the chemical ingredients of the product above listed TLV's or when exposed to the post ignition by-products. This product is a finished cartridge or canister which contains the various components completely sealed within. Therefore, under normal handling of this product, no exposure to any harmful materials will occur. When the product is used, particles may be generated which may be slightly irritating to the eyes and the respiratory tract. The particles may contain trace amounts of the following harmful substances: Lead: Ingestion of large amounts of lead can cause abdominal pain, constipation, cramps, nausea and/or vomiting. Chronic exposure to lead can cause kidney damage, anemia, reproductive effects, developmental effects and permanent nervous system damage in humans including changes in cognitive function. It is unlikely that the amount of particles that someone would be exposed to from firing a loaded round would be sufficient to cause any of these effects.

Medical Conditions Generally Aggravated by Exposure

There are no medical conditions known to be aggravated by exposure to this product in its solid form. Exposure to lead compounds in the primer can aggravate anemia, cardiovascular and respiratory disease. SKIN: No exposure to chemical hazards anticipated with normal handling procedures. EYES: No exposure to chemical hazards anticipated with normal handling procedures. INGESTION: No exposure to chemical hazards anticipated with normal handling procedures. Contents of this product are toxic by ingestion and in the unlikely event this should occur immediate medical attention is advised. CARCINOGENICITY: NTP? Yes-Lead cpds. IARC MONOGRAPHS? Yes-Lead products (2B)
