2.3 Other hazards
This product contains no PBT/vPvB chemicals. This product contains no endocrine disrupting chemicals. Emergency Overview This product is not flammable or combustible under normal conditions of transport and storage. However, when heated strongly in air it will burn, releasing toxic and irritating sulphur dioxide gas, as well as possible lead and zinc oxide fumes. Contact with strong acids will generate flammable and highly toxic hydrogen sulphide gas (H2S).
Potential health effects
Concentrate dust may be irritating to the nose, throat and respiratory tract. Inhalation or ingestion of concentrate dust may result in lead and cadmium absorption and possible lead intoxication. Prolonged exposure may also cause central nervous system damage, gastrointestinal disturbances, anemia, kidney dysfunction and possible reproductive effects. Pregnant women should be protected from excessive exposure to prevent lead crossing the placental barrier and causing infant neurological disorders.
Environmental effects
Lead concentrate will likely have minimal direct environmental effects, since its constituent metals have low solubility, and are therefore not highly bioavailable. However, when the product is processed or resides in the environment for extended periods, lead and zinc compounds may form which may be toxic to aquatic and terrestrial organisms
