HEALTH HAZARD INFORMATION Primary Routes of Entry INGESTION X INHALATION ABSORPTION Carcinogenecity THIS PRODUCT HAS NOT BEEN LISTED AS A SUSPECT CARCINOGEN BY NTP, IARC OR OSHA Acute Overexposure (symptoms and effects) SEVERE SHORT-TERM OVEREXPOSURE MAY LEAD TO CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM DISORDERS, CHARACTERIZED BY DROWSINESS, SEIZURES, COMA + DEATH. IT SHOULD BE RECOGNIZED THAT EXPOSURES OF THIS MAGNITUDE IN AN INDUSTRIAL ENVIRONMENT ARE EXTREMELY UNLIKELY. Chronic Overexposure (symptoms and effects) PROLONGED OVEREXPOSURE TO LEAD CAN RESULT IN SYSTEMIC POISONING WITH SYMPTOMS OF METALLIC TASTE, ANEMIA, INSOMNIA, WEAKNESS, CONSTIPATION, ABDOMINAL PAIN, GASTROINTESTINAL DISORDERS, JOINT AND MUSCLE PAIN, AND MUSCULAR WEAKNESS, AND MAY CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE BLOOD-FORMING, NERVOUS, KIDNEYS, AND REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEMS. DAMAGE MAY INCLUDE REDUCED FERTILITY IN BOTH MEN AND WOMEN, DAMAGE TO THE FETUS OF EXPOSED PREGNANT WOMEN, ANEMIA, MUSCULAR WEAKNESS AND KIDNEY DYSFUNCTION. Medical Conditions possibly aggravated by exposure DISEASES OF THE BLOOD AND BLOOD FORMING ORGANS, KIDNEYS, NERVOUS AND POSSIBLY REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEMS. First Aid Proceedures: INHALATION: REMOVE FROM EXPOSURE AND CALL A PHYSICIAN. SKIN CONTACT: WASH AFFECTED AREAS WITH SOAP AND WATER. IF BURNS SHOULD OCCUR FROM MOLTEN METAL TREAT FOR BURN AND GET IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ASSISTANCE. EYE CONTACT: FLUSH EYES WITH WATER FOR 15 MINUTES, CALL A PHYSICIAN INGESTION: INGEST LARGE QUANTITIES OF WATER, CALL A PHYSICIAN 5. PRECAUTIONS/PROCEDURES OVERHEATING OF ALLOY CAN PRODUCE METAL FUMES AND OXIDES. MACHINING OPERATIONS SUCH AS GRINDING, SAWING, OR BUFFING CAN GENERATE AIRBORN PARTICULATES IN THE WORK AREA. EXPOSURE LEVELS INDICATED IN SECTION 1 ARE RELAVENT TO THESE AND OTHER OPERATIONS. Normal Handling: USE OF APPROVED RESPIRATORS IS REQUIRED FOR APPLICATIONS WHERE ADEQUATE VENTILATION CANNOT BE PROVIDED. ACTIVITIES WHICH GENERATE DUST OR FUME SHOULD BE AVOIDED. WHEN MELTED, THE TEMPERATURE SHOULD BE KEPT AS LOW AS POSSIBLE. Spill or Leak: ANY METHOD THAT KEEPS DUST TO A MINIMUM IS ACCEPTABLE. VACUUMING IS PREFERRED. USE OF APPROVED RESPIRATORY PROTECTION WHERE POSSIBILITY OF DUST/FUME EXPOSURE EXISTS. DO NOT USE COMPRESSED AIR FOR CLEANING. Personal Hygiene: AVOID INHALATION OF INGESTION. PRACTICE GOOD HOUSEKEEPING AND PERSONAL HYGIENE PROCEDURES. A SHOWER IS RECOMMENDED IF SIGNIFICANT DUST EXPOSURE OCCURS. Engineering Controls: LOCAL EXHAUST VENTILATION IS RECOMMENDED FOR DUST AND/OR FUME GENERATION OPERATIONS WHERE AIRBORNE EXPOSURES MAY EXCEED PERMISSIBLE AIR CONCENTRATIONS. Storage: GENERAL STORAGE PROCEDURES ACCEPTABLE. Special Precautions, preocedures, label instruction: SPECIAL ATTENTION IS DRAWN TO THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE OSHA LEAD STANDARD (1910.1025) AND RESPIRATOR STANDARD (1910.134) SHOULD AIRBORNE EXPOSURES EXCEED THE OSHA ACTION LEVEL OR PEL. 6. PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT Respiratory Protection: WHERE AIRBORNE EXPOSURES MAY EXCEED OSHA/ACGIH PERMISSIBLE AIR CONCENTRATIONS, THE MINIMUM RESPIRATORY PROTECTION RECOMMENDED IS A NEGATIVE PRESSURE AIR PURIFYING RESPIRATOR WITH CARTRIDGES THAT ARE NIOSH/MSHA APPROVED AGAINST DUST, FUMES, AND MISTS HAVING A TWA NOT LESS THAN 0/05 MG/CU M. Eyes and Face: SAFETY GLASSES RECOMMENDED WHERE THE POSSIBLILITY OF GETTING DUST PARTICLES IN EYES EXISTS, OR WHEN HANDLING MOLTEN METAL. Other Clothing and Equipment: GLOVES AND OTHER PROTECTIVE CLOTHING RECOMMENDED IF SKIN CONTACT IS APPRECIABLE. 7. REACTIVITY DATA Stability: STABLE Conditions to Avoid: NOT APPLICABLE Incompatability: STRONG OXIDIZERS MAY CAUSE VIOLENT REACTION Hazardous Decomposition Products: AT TEMPERATURES ABOVE THE MELTING POINT, TOXIC FUMES OR VAPORS MAY BE EMITTED. 8. ENVIRONMENTAL Regulated by DOT? NO Waste Disposal Method (DISPOSER MUST COMPLY WITH FEDERAL, STATE, AND LOCAL DISPOSAL OR DISCHARGE LAWS) IF HAZARDOUS UNDER 40 CFR 261, SUBPARTS B AND C, MATERIAL MUST BE TREATED OR DISPOSED IN A FACILITY MEETING THE REQUIREMENTS OF 40 CFR 254 OR 265. IF NON-HAZARDOUS, MATERIAL SHOULD BE DISPOSED IN A FACILITY MEETING THE REQUIREMENTS OF 40 CFR 257. RCRA Status of Unused Material: IF DISCARDED IN UNALTERED FORM, MATERIAL SHOULD BE TESTED TO DETERMINE IF IT MUST BE CLASSIFIED AS A HAZARDOUS WASTE FOR DISPOSAL PURPOSES. UNDER SPECIFIC CIRCUMSTANCES, APPLICATION CAN BE MADE TO THE EPA ADMINISTRATOR TO HAVE A PARTICULAR WASTE DESIGNATED NON-HAZARDOUS. 9.
