SECTION VI
HEALTH HAZARD DATA
Route(s) of Entry: Not applicable under normal use.
Carcinogenicity: Lead is listed as a ZB carcinogen, likely in animals at extreme doses. Proof of carcinogenicity in humans is lacking
at present.
Signs and Symptoms of Exposure: Lead: Short term
: Skin and eye irritation, headache, nausea, vomiting, abdominal spasms,
fatigue, weight loss, anemia, pain in legs, arms, and joints. Long Term
: CNS damage, kidney disfunctions and potential reproductive
hazards. Symptoms of lead exposure can be confirmed by the presence of elevated levels of lead in blood.
Medical Conditions Generally Aggravated by Exposure: Pregnant women and children must be protected from lead exposure.
Health Hazards (Acute and Chronic): Internal components contain lead. Repeated or prolonged exposure to lead can result in lead
poisoning. Lead accumulates in the bone and body organs and is eliminated from the body slowly. (Ref: 29 CFR 1910.1025)
Emergency and First Aid Procedures: Not applicable under normal use. If lead exposure is suspected, seek medical attention.
