Section 3 - Hazards Identification

EMERGENCY OVERVIEW

Appearance: yellow to yellow-orange. Danger! Oxidizer. Causes eye and skin irritation. Causes digestive and respiratory tract irritation. May cause kidney damage. May cause central nervous system effects. This substance has caused adverse reproductive and fetal effects in animals. Contact with other material may cause fire. Dangerous for the environment. Cancer suspect agent. Possible sensitizer.
Target Organs: Kidneys, central nervous system, lungs, blood forming organs, reproductive system, nerves.


Potential Health Effects
Eye: Causes eye irritation.
Skin: Causes skin irritation.
Ingestion: May cause gastrointestinal irritation with nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. Many lead compounds can cause toxic effects in the blood-forming organs, kidneys and central nervous system.
Inhalation: Causes respiratory tract irritation. May cause effects similar to those described for ingestion.
Chronic: May cause cancer in humans. Repeated exposure may cause sensitization dermatitis. Chronic exposure to lead may result in plumbism which is characterized by lead line in gum, headache, muscle weakness, mental changes. Laboratory experiments have resulted in mutagenic effects. Lead salts have been reported to cross the placeta and induce embryo- and feto- mortality.

Section 4 - First Aid Measures


Eyes: Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids. Get medical aid.
Skin: Get medical aid. Immediately flush skin with plenty of soap and water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Wash clothing before reuse.
Ingestion: Do NOT induce vomiting. If victim is conscious and alert, give 2-4 cupfuls of milk or water. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Get medical aid.
Inhalation: Remove from exposure to fresh air immediately. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical aid.
Notes to Physician: Persons with asthma, allergies, and know sensitization to chromic acid or chromates may be at increased risk from exposure to this product. Treat symptomatically and supportively.
Antidote: The use of d-Penicillamine as a chelating agent should be determined by qualified medical personnel. The use of Calcium disodium EDTA as a chelating agent should be determined by qualified medical personnel. The use of Dimercaprol or BAL (British Anti-Lewisite) as a chelating agent should be determined by qualified medical personnel.

Section 5 - Fire Fighting Measures


General Information: As in any fire, wear a self-contained breathing apparatus in pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent), and full protective gear. Combustion generates toxic fumes. Oxidizer. Greatly increases the burning rate of combustible materials. May accelerate burning if involved in a fire.
Extinguishing Media: Use water only! Cool containers with flooding quantities of water until well after fire is out. For large fires, flood fire area with water from a distance. Do NOT use dry chemicals, CO2, Halon or foams.

Section 6 - Accidental Release Measures


General Information: Use proper personal protective equipment as indicated in Section 8.
Spills/Leaks: Avoid generating dusty conditions. Provide ventilation. With a clean shovel, carefully pick up the material and place it into a clean dry container and cover for disposal. Keep combustibles (wood, paper, oil, etc.,) away from spilled material.

Section 7 - Handling and Storage


Handling: Wash thoroughly after handling. Remove contaminated clothing and wash before reuse. Use only in a well-ventilated area. Minimize dust generation and accumulation. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing. Empty containers retain product residue, (liquid and/or vapor), and can be dangerous. Keep container tightly closed. Avoid ingestion and inhalation. Keep away from clothing and other combustible materials. Do not pressurize, cut, weld, braze, solder, drill, grind, or expose empty containers to heat, sparks or open flames.
Storage: Do not store near combustible materials. Store in a tightly closed container. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible substances.

Section 8 - Exposure Controls, Personal Protection


Engineering Controls: Facilities storing or utilizing this material should be equipped with an eyewash facility and a safety shower. Use adequate general or local exhaust ventilation to keep airborne concentrations below the permissible exposure limits.

Section 12 - Ecological Information


Ecotoxicity: No data available. Chromium in soil can be transported to the atmosphere by way of aerosol formation. Chromium is also transported from soil through runoff and leaching of water. Runoff could remove both chromium ions and bulk precipitates of chromium, with final deposition on either a different land area or a water body. Leaching of lead can be relatively rapid from some soils, especially at highly contaminated sites or landfills.
Environmental: Chromium is removed from air through wet and dry depositions. . Terrestrial Fate: Lead in soil is relatively immobile and can persist for long periods of time, whether added to the soil as halides, hydroxides, oxides, carbonates or sulfates.
Physical: No information available.
Other: None.

Section 13 - Disposal Considerations
