no guideline followed
Principles of method if other than guideline:
In this paper we have made a comparative study of the effects upon rabbit of a series of different lead compounds, with the idea that such in formation may assist in elucidating the ultimate problem. The effect upon hemoglobin, he lethal dose, damage to the liver and kidney, and the effect upon the chorionic epithelium and upon the progeny have been considered.

Any other information on results incl. tables

Lead sulfide is a more insoluble salt than trilead phosphate. The toxicity experiments showed however that it is slightly injurious to the erythrocytes. There is probably a slow oxidation in the body to the sulfate which is considerably more soluble compound.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Lead sulphide was found slightly toxic in this study.
