Section 12 – ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Ecotoxicity
An environment hazard cannot be excluded in the event of unprofessional handling or disposal.
Lead and its compounds can result in a threat if released into the environment.
In most surface water and groundwater, lead forms compounds out of the water column. Lead my occur absorbed ions or
surface coatings on sediment mineral particles or may be carried in colloidal particles in surface water. Most lead is strongly
retained in soil, resulting in little mobility, Lead may be immobilized by ion exchange with hydrous oxides or by chelation with
humic or fulvic acids in the soil. Leak (dissolved phase) is bioaccumulated by plants and animals, both aquatic and terrestrial.
