First-aid measures
Inhalation, ingestion, and skin absorption.
Possible effects :
Effects of overexposure: Harmful by inhalation and if swallowed. Exposre to skin and eyes may cause skin irritation, red skin, itching, skin burn, eye irritation or damage.
Chronic effects: Danger of cumulative effects. Damage to kidneys, blood disorders and nervous system disturbances. May cause harm to the unborn child. Possible risk of impaired fertility.
General advice : In all cases of doubt, or when symptoms persist, seek medical attention.
Eye contact : Rinse immediately and as long as possible with plenty of water. Eyelids should be held away from the eyeball to ensure thorough rinsing. Consult a physician immediately.
Skin contact : Flush with copious amounts of water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes.
Inhalation : Remove from exposure, fresh air, rest, if breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Obtain medical attention immediately (show this Material Safety Data Sheet).
Ingestion : Only when conscious, rinse mouth, give plenty of water to drink (approx. 500 ml). DO NOT induce vomiting. Seek medical advice.
Fire-fighting measures
Protective equipment : Wear self-contained breathing apparatus, protective suit, suitable materials.
Extinguishing agents : Water, fire extinguishing powder, carbon dioxide or foam.
Non-suitable Extinguishing agents : None.
Hazardous decomposition or combustion products: Pb (vapour) , lead oxides , carbon dioxide (CO2) , carbon monoxide (CO)
Other information : Evacuate personnel to safe area.
Accidental release measures
Environmental precautions : Avoid dust generation. Isolate spill area.
Methods for cleaning up : Shovel up. Collect as much as possible in a clean container for (preferable) reuse or disposal. Rinse remnant with plenty of water.
Handling and storage
Measures to prevent fire: Avoid dust generation. Take precautionary measures against static discharges.
Requirements for storage : Store at 15-25 °C Store tightly closed. Store under argon. Protect from light. Store in a dry place.
